Abstract

The 11th Financial Market Liquidity Conference was held on 26–27 November 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic – for the first time in its history – in online form. Similar to previous years, the conference was organised jointly by the Financial Research Centre operating within the Department of Finance of the Institute of Finance, Accounting and Business Law of Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB) and the Momentum Game Theory Research Group of the Institute of Economics Centre for Economic and Regional Studies. In addition to the Foundation of the Department of Finance, as a gold sponsor, CFA Society Hungary, KELER CCP, MSCI, Morgan Stanley and OTP Bank acted as key sponsors. Almost 300 persons registered for the conference, including roughly 100 university students. Actors from domestic and international academia as well as corporate partners were among the conference participants. As in previous years, the two-day conference ran in parallel sessions, except for the presentations by the four guest speakers. 22 universities were represented at the conference through the speakers, joined by banking experts and research analysts, with half of the participants from Hungary and half from abroad. A total of 40 presentations were delivered.
