The Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE and the Solvay Brussels School of Economics & Management at the Université Libre de Bruxelles cordially invite you to a workshop on
Strengthening the Resilience of the European Banking Sector
on Wednesday, 17 April 2024, 13:00 – 19:30 CEST
Venue: Representation of the State of Hessen to the European Union, Rue Montoyer 21, B-1000 Brussels
The European banking sector fared well during last year’s banking turmoil in the United States and Switzerland. Yet, there should be no room for complacency when it comes to safeguard the stability of the European banking sector. This conference will examine how better bank governance can contribute to financial stability and what should be the role of regulators and supervisors in this respect. The conference will also look at whether the current European bank resolution framework is sufficiently strong given what we have observed in terms of liquidity risk stemming from rising interest rates and (uninsured) deposit movements, and to what extent the proposed reform of the Crisis Management and Deposit Insurance (CMDI) framework could help.
The conference will bring together participants from academia, the banking sector and national and EU policymaking. It will be divided into two parts. The first, held under the Chatham House rules with participation by invitation only, will be a workshop with short paper presentations and discussions. The second part will consist of a high-level policy debate open to the public.
