‘Who finances the financiers? Twenty years of HM Treasury resource accounts’

In this seminar, Mario Pisani (Deputy Director HM Treasury & Visiting Professor King’s College London) delivered a paper entitled: “Who finances the financiers? Twenty years of HM Treasury resource accounts”. The paper will explore the role of HM Treasury within the British system of government by analysing the information contained in twenty years of Treasury annual reports and accounts.

Lord Macpherson (Permanent Secretary 2005-2016 HM Treasury) and Ed Balls (Economic Adviser to the Chancellor 1997-1999, Chief Economic Adviser to the Treasury 1999-2004 and Minister for Financial Services 2006-2007) were the discussants to the lecture, which was then followed by a question and answer session.
