Abstract	The meeting was organised with the objective of shedding some light on the way forward for our statistical community in formulating strategies for strengthening the existing statistical systems in order to better meet the needs of data users. Walter Radermacher of Eurostat spoke of the reaction of the European statistical system to the statistical consequences of the financial crisis. Adelheid Burgi-Schmelz of the IMF presented a paper on further statistical work in light of the financial crisis both within the IMF and with other international agencies. Steven Keuning of the ECB discussed the statistical needs emanating from the financial crisis and the initiatives of the ECB towards more comprehensive financial statistics. Dennis Trewin, in his capacity as a Trustee of a major superannuation fund in Australia, spoke of making greater use of statistics outside the purview of official statistics in detecting financial crises and the more effective role which statistics and statisticians might play in fund management. The discussant, Steve Landefeld of the BEA, commented on the papers of the four speakers.
