Some argue another financial crisis is inevitable – but what would it look like and what combination of events could trigger a crisis of confidence in our financial institutions?

Inflation driving increased interest rates, leading to more expensive mortgages, rising repossessions and downward pressure on house prices? Greek debt default and the collapse of the euro?

What would be the impact on consumer confidence? And how will the financial services industry respond?

Panel includes:

Hugh Pym, chief economics correspondent, BBC News

Dan Atkinson, Economics Editor, Mail on Sunday

Andrew Smith, Chief Economist, KPMG

Tony Langham, Chief Executive, Lansons Communications (chair)
