AFME Annual Review

Annual Review 2019: 

The 2019 Annual Review details the past year’s achievements and looks ahead to the challenges of 2020. The review includes a message from AFME’s Chairman:

"As we reflect on AFME’s work during the last year it is also an important moment to take stock more generally on the development of Europe’s banking and capital markets, and on the significant global forces driving change within wholesale finance."

"While there has been strong and steady progress on creating an integrated banking and  capital  market  in  Europe  in  recent  years,  there  is  still much  more  to  do. At this moment  of significant political change, with  new  leadership  at  the  European Commission, European Council and European Central Bank we will continue to make the case for reducing fragmentation within Europe’s financial markets".

 Re-wiring Europe’s Capital Markets

A bridge to the future of Europe's capital markets

  • “2017 has been a year of structural and political change, leaving the European capital markets industry with more questions than answers. At such a time of uncertainty, our role as a pan-European trade group could not be more important, not just to present the voice of the wholesale financial markets in Europe, but to provide a meaningful, fact-based contribution to help shape the future of our industry.” AFME Annual Review 2017
