Restoring trust between society, business and legislators
The 2008 banking crisis and associated problems have undermined public trust in business and legislators in a way that makes it harder to operate businesses and to gain support for political decisions. This loss of trust has been measured by many pollsters up to 2015 and shows no sign yet of reversing. Whether new legislation, new institutions or behavioural changes are needed, this is a problem that needs to be addressed to improve the operation of the economy.
