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 I am pleased to welcome you all to the “4th International Banking and Finance Forum Restoring Confidence, Credibility and Growth”. In the past 12 months we hosted a number of high-level forums to explore the tremendous changes in the financial services sector in countries across the globe and especially the UK. 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, this crisis has greatly damaged public trust in banks and financial services. As was discussed in previous meetings in this series 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 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 will continue 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, regulators, industry practitioners, diplomats as well as economic and financial experts from participating sectors and institutions to explore further the progress and remaining challenges in restoring trust and confidence in financial services sector as well as to discuss the challenges in achieving sensible regulatory reforms in financial services and its impact on competitiveness and long-term investment. IBDE in partnership with the City of London hosed on 31 October 2013 a high level meeting on the impact of the financial services regulatory reforms on growth and long term investment so I hope that today’s event will explore further some of the issues discussed at that meeting. The summary of the meeting is available for download at www.ibde.org 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 David Craig and colleagues at Thomson Reuters 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 my colleagues at IBDE and Thomson Reuters for their efforts and excellent job in putting together this conference. th
And finally our 5 International Banking and Finance Forum will take place in Liverpool on 23 July 2014 as part of the official programme of the International Festival for Business 2014, and I wish to invite you to consider some limited sponsorship and exhibition opportunities that are available for the forums in this series.
