Global events in the last few decades have persuaded governments around the globe and international institutions to make resilience central into insolvency policy strategies and policy-guiding principles. This approach clearly derives from the growing uncertainty and complexity that policymakers are faced with.
There is a growing recognition of the importance of policy designs that can address or minimize the impacts of potential shocks and uncertainty. In particular, policy designers are faced with the challenges of uncertain linkages between policy actions and outcomes, a highly complex and ill-defined policy problem space that encompasses multiple interacting elements. Many countries have recently reviewed their insolvency policies to address the challenges thrown by COVID-19 and deal with the dynamics resulting from the recent geo-political developments, to make the insolvency systems not just robust, but also resilient. Others are presently reviewing their insolvency laws, actively to consider new approaches to insolvency.

ILA is holding its 2nd annual conference, the 2nd meeting of ILA’s Insolvency Scholars Forum and 1st meeting of ILA’s Emerging Scholar’s Group from 9th to 11th February, 2024 (ILA 2024). The ILA 2024 will discuss international developments and emerging new policy choices.

The conference will be attended by judges, policy makers, insolvency regulators, bankers, eminent academics and scholars, practitioners, and other experts from different parts of the world.
