The Florence School of Banking and Finance Annual Conference, co-organized this year with the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University, will examine the Banking Union’s “mature” phase against the background of the early state and goals.
This high-level event will examine the Banking Union's "mature" phase against the background of the early state and goals. Discussions will focus on the journey from the initial situation characterized by fragmented regulation, weak and opaque balance sheets, and risks of euro break-up, to the present one marked by stronger banks but incomplete Banking Union (BU), continuing fragmentation, and the rise of new challenges.
The event will cover prospects for further advancing the BU and the hurdles of working with an incomplete one. Additionally, it will address new challenges such as rising interest rate risks, the advent of digital banking, and the increased mobility of deposits. Participants will include officials involved in the construction and management of banking frameworks in Europe and overseas, banking leaders as well as researchers from Europe and elsewhere.
