Welcome to the Economic and Financial Council at RidgeMUNC III! This committee shows delegates the numerous consequences of the financial crisis that occurred in 2008, which hit millions worldwide. With members from the United Nations and a variety of interest groups, your mandates are to create novel and combined strategies to get the markets in alignment with each other financially, ensure stability in financial markets, restore economic stability, and outline the rulebook for any future crises. Time is of the essence, as there are rumors that a mafia group, known as the Shadow Brokers, is seeking revenge against UN members because the legislation did not pass in time, which means billions of dollars in mafia losses. To this end, the biggest mission of this committee is to find out the causes and effects of this crisis, create effective recommendations for reform, and confront the mafia before it's too late!
