In keeping with its reputation as an organisation at the forefront of developments in the mortgage market, AMI is helping members plan for the business opportunities created in a post-banking crisis world. The political focus is on creating a new UK economy which is more stable. With that comes a new set of economic drivers for the return to growth of the mortgage market. Accordingly, AMI has secured the distinguished economist John Kay to speak and set out his views of what may happen as we emerge from the economic crisis.
Robert Sinclair, director, AMI, said: "I look forward to hearing from such an eminent Financial Times columnist, but this is to belittle John's achievements. As a Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, co-authoring five editions of The British Tax System with Mervyn King, holding both a Chair and a post of Visiting Professor at London Business School, Professor of Management at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of the British Academy, John has displayed hunger for sharing his knowledge in a truly committed way.
"As a gifted author, his books The Truth about Markets, Everlasting Light Bulbs, The Hare and the Tortoise have all shed credible light on what for many are complex inter-related issues. John's acclaimed new book Obliquity provides a fascinating insight in the making of successful decisions.
"John's observations will provide an interesting insight, in the post-election period, into what the drivers for change are in the wider economy. It will be revealing to hear about potential impacts on the housing and mortgage market from such a considered political and economic thinker."
