Welcome to the Singapore Global Restructuring Initiative!
I am thrilled and honoured to have the opportunity to introduce you to this exciting project launched by the Singapore Management University with the support of the Ministry of Law.
The SGRI has been created with the purpose of conducting cutting-edge research in restructuring and insolvency law while promoting cooperation between academics, practitioners, judges and policymakers from all over the world.
Due to the complexity, interdisciplinary and increasingly global nature of corporate insolvency law, the only way to keep improving our insolvency laws and practices is by working together and learning from each other. For this reason, I would like to encourage every member of the international insolvency community, including lawyers, accountants, economists, academics, practitioners, judges and policymakers, to be part of the Singapore Global Restructuring Initiative by contributing to our blog, engaging in our discussions and joining us for our academic activities and events. Thus, we will all be able to generate the ideas, cooperation and policy discussions needed to build better insolvency systems that can support our economies by promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, access to finance and economic growth.
