Join us for the next event in: Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University Excellence Series. This series highlights leadership across diverse disciplines while providing a platform to showcase the University's distinctive and influential applied research. It celebrates research excellence and fosters public engagement, extending Lincoln University's specialist land-based expertise to a wider audience, driving New Zealand's prosperity and intergenerational well-being.
Banks play a central role in modern economies, serving as financial intermediaries that support growth, stability, and liquidity. This seminar, led by Prof. Christopher Gan, explores the unique functions and systemic importance of banks—such as money creation, maturity transformation, access to central bank facilities, and their role in the payment system—that distinguish them from other financial institutions. It also examines the rationale for strict regulatory oversight and how emerging technologies and non-bank entities are challenging traditional banking roles. Drawing on his extensive expertise, Prof. Gan will connect these themes to current financial developments in New Zealand and highlight how Lincoln University’s research contributes to a deeper understanding of financial resilience and economic well-being.
