Every two years the Forum brings together high-level policymakers, academics, financial executives and experts to exchange views on current developments in banking and supervision. With new risks on the horizon, how can banks retain their long-term resilience? What tools should every modern supervisor have at its disposal? Can Europe thrive without an incomplete banking union?
Have a look at the programme and join inspiring discussions.

The new reality: banking after the end of “low for long”
Banks have shown resilience during recent crises, but will that last? As both customer behaviour and economic conditions change, banks will need to adapt to the new environment while also tackling emerging and unforeseen challenges. If banks stick to their old ways, will they be prepared to address new risks? To what extent will banking resilience depend on large-scale countercyclical policies by the official sector?

Claudio Borio, Head of the Monetary and Economic Department, Bank for International Settlements
Elena Carletti, Professor of Finance, Bocconi University and Member of the Board of Directors, UniCredit S.p.A.

The road ahead for bankers and policymakers
Bankers and policymakers will have to deal with some “known knowns” in the coming years, such as climate change, the digital transformation and governance flaws. But what are the known unknowns? Will supervision and regulation act as a brake or an accelerator? Will Europe heed the lessons of the global financial crisis and stick to its global commitments? Can the banking union survive, let alone thrive, in its present state?

Frank Elderson, Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board, European Central Bank
Tuomas Saarenheimo, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee, Council of the European Union
