Dear Colleagues:

Dialogue regarding G-20 emergency regulatory controls over the global derivatives market, is now focused on guidance by Willem Buiter: Professor of European Political Economy, London School of Economics and Political Science; former chief economist of the EBRD, former external member of the MPC; adviser to international organisations, governments, central banks and private financial institutions:

• The real estate roots of the crisis in the US, Financial Times, 21 July 2009.
  

Consensus: We must address the cause of the global economic crisis, with immediate emergency FDIC level oversight of OTC derivatives markets in the United States, supported by a global regulatory framework for all UN member countries.

Looking forward to your feedback.
