Dear Delegate, I am delighted to welcome you to the 6th International Banking and Finance Forum: Restoring Resilience, Stability and Growth, which is being hosted kindly by Cass Business School. Since the launch of this series two years ago we have organised and delivered successfully a great number of conferences, forums and high-level meetings that have helped many attendees to gain an update on challenges and opportunities in financial markets and maximise the networking opportunities. These meetings were extremely useful in understanding more clearly the banking crises, which led to costly bank bailouts, bank failures and overall disruption in economic activity. Consequently, as most industry practitioners would argue, this crisis has greatly damaged public trust in banks and financial services. The vulnerabilities exposed in the crisis affect banks and states globally while regulatory policy is still organised along national boundaries – raising difficult policy coordination issues in the international regulatory field. Taking place at the heart of the UK’s Financial Centre, today’s event brings together a wide range of policymakers, industry practitioners, diplomats as well as economic and financial experts from participating sectors and institutions to explore the key issues and practices in banking regulation and supervision and to continue to promote the need for more ethical and transparent banking practice worldwide, where conduct amongst professionals and banking markets is more responsible in order to avoid bad banking practises and steadily restore trust and credibility in financial services. The forum will also aim to explore the future of digital, retail and investment banking as well as the role of financial services in financing economic growth and in particular the ways that bank and finance can support SMEs and start-ups. We are delighted to welcome today such a diverse number of distinguished speakers who will be able to discuss these and other issues in detail. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions; so please feel free to participate in the debate. We are grateful to Steven Haberman, Pete Hahn and other colleagues at Cass for their generous support and for hosting this meeting. I wish also to thank all our distinguished speakers for accepting our invitation and all of you who have taken time out to be here today. Of course, I wish to thank our sponsor (Bip) and our supporting partners. Finally I wish to thank my colleagues at IBDE and Cass (especially Mariam) for their efforts and excellent job in putting together this conference. We are already planning to organise the 7th and the 8th International Banking and Finance Forum later in the year and the 9th and 10th in 2016, so I wish to encourage you to consider sponsoring these hugely important events. You can find the summaries of past IBDE activities at our website www.ibde.org. You can also follow us on twitter @IBDE_News.
