Dr Sangeeta Khorana from the Aberystwyth School of Management and Business said:
“We are delighted to welcome Dr Swinburne. The visit is a great opportunity to hear her viewpoint on the global financial markets as the EU grapples to come to terms with the consequences of an international global financial crisis. Her talk comes at a time when discussions on the need to have a global co-ordinated strategy, through the creation of financial safety nets and more regulatory oversight of financial institutions, are on the agenda of the G20 Summit being held in Seoul next month”.
“Dr Swinburne has made an immense contribution to Wales though her persistent efforts to create a strong, stable Welsh economy by encouraging and supporting trade and businesses, particularly small and medium size enterprises. She has made massive efforts to stimulate economic recovery by promoting and fostering economic vitality through sustainable investment and improvements in rural support. We are all very proud of her”, she added.
