Global Financial Crisis 15 Years On: What Have We Learned? with Wayne Swan| Summer Series

Our summer podcast series brings you some of the best conversations from our webinars and live events in 2023.

On 15 September 2008 came the collapse of Lehmann Brothers, the largest bankruptcy in US history. This set off a chain reaction and had a massive impact on the Australia financial system and economy. Across the northern hemisphere the GFC became known as the Great Recession. But in Australia the economy was spared the large rises in unemployment that occurred in the USA and Europe as well as the collapse of major financial institutions.

This was recorded on Friday 15th September 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
