MEET YOUR GLOBAL NETWORK 100+ EVENTS : JUNE-JULY 2014, LIVERPOOL UK The International Festival for Business 2014 will be an ambitious global showcase for great British industries and sectors. It will connect UK businesses to new markets, new products and new partners.
Welcome Rudi Guraziu, Chief Executive, IBDE rd
I am pleased to welcome you all to the “3 International Banking and Finance Forum - Restoring Confidence in Financial Services”. The past two decades have witnessed both tremendous change and tremendous growth in the financial sector in countries across the globe and especially the UK. But, many countries in the world have experienced profound banking crises, sometimes leading to costly bank bailouts, bank failures and overall disruption in economic activity. This has tremendously damaged public trust in banks and financial services. The changes in the banking landscape and banking crises have focused policy makers’ and industry participants’ attention on the appropriate role and structure of banking supervision and regulation. The subsequent sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone and the complex relationship between sovereign and bank debt poses further problems for policymakers. The crisis seems to be over, with most countries across Europe being officially out of recession, but this has clearly demonstrated the close global interconnectedness of the financial system. The vulnerabilities exposed in the crisis affect banks and states globally while regulatory policy is organised along national boundaries – raising difficult policy coordination issues in the international regulatory field. IBDE forums in this series aim to encourage greater focus on best practice in banking and finance in the quest to restore confidence in financial services as well as to reinforce the position of the UK as a financial centre of European and global strategic importance. 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 progress and remaining challenges in restoring trust and confidence in financial services as well as to discuss the financial sector regulatory reforms after the banking union and the recent report of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards: The impact on international competitiveness, efficiency and financial stability and non-banking activities. In addition, the forum will explore the role that the banks and finance should play in the economy to help the world prosper. We are delighted to welcome 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 Malcolm Sweeting and Simon Gleeson and colleagues at Clifford Chance for their generous support and for hosting this meeting. I wish also to thank all our distinguished speakers for accepting our invitation, in particular the Lithuanian Minister of Finance, Mr Rimantas Satzius, who has travelled to London to attend this meeting and all of you who have taken time out to be here today. Of course, I wish to thank our partners for supporting this event and in particular “Invest in Lithuania” for their trip to London. And finally I wish to thank my colleagues at IBDE and Clifford Chance (especially Ben and Rebecca) for their efforts and excellent job in putting together this conference. th
Our 4 International Banking and Finance Forum will kindly be hosted by Thomson Reuters on 13 February 2014 and I wish to invite you to consider some limited sponsorship and exhibition opportunities that are available for the forums in this series.
