On 24 January 2025, the ILF will present the 13th conference in our series on the future of the financial sector. It will focus on the factors contributing to bank disintermediation and its consequences. There will be separate panels on the effects of the growth of competition from non-bank financial institutions, the potential effects of the planned introduction of central bank digital currencies, the effects of regulatory reform, and the consequences of disintermediation for the transmission of monetary policy, staffed by distinguished senior representatives from the public and private sectors. The keynote address will be delivered by Professor Simon Johnson of MIT. The program will kick off with a discussion between Lord Hill, the father of the EU Capital Markets Union project and Lorenzo Bini Smaghi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Société Générale, about whether the revived Capital Markets Union may prove to be a game changer.
The event held on a hybrid basis will run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm CET. Attendance online will be free, but advance registration is required. A fee will be charged for in person attendance.
