THANK YOU

The 1st edition of the SRP Belsipa Forum on 19 October brought together 70+ top senior executives from the Belgian Structured Products industry for a oneday event and networking at the Hilton Hotel in the heart of Brussels.

The SRP Belsipa event was aimed at providing an opportunity to market participants to connect with industry peers and discuss the Belgian structured products market landscape and understand the dynamics and challenges of the domestic structured products market.
