Abstract of the talk was that the global meltdown in 2008 was in the making since 2001. Financial Gurus had already predicted that the markets would fail, but none paid attention in the arena itself. The meltdown was further escalated by the $150 barrel of oil. This discussion was based on how the crisis unfolded and what impacts it holds for Pakistan. The second part was about how Central Banks dealt with the crisis along with what we did in Pakistan, as well as the way ahead. 

Though the speaker wasn’t available on Saturday and we had to reschedule the talk on Friday just before the Friday Prayers anticipating a low turnout, still many professionals from different organizations like Ericsson, 2scomplement, STU Solutions and other business students turned up for this talk. IEEE Lahore GOLD Team would like to thank Nauman Saeed for his valuable time as well as the student branch of IEEE at National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences, Lahore for facilitating the activity.
