About the event

AFME and OMFIF are pleased to again combine our European capital markets, financial regulation, and economic policy expertise with our 3rd Annual European Financial Integration Conference.

Join us at Deutsche Bank - Taunusanlage, in the heart of Frankfurt’s financial centre, for a day of thought-provoking discussions on crucial European financial services policy issues, featuring Europe’s most influential policy makers and opinion-formers, as well as key members of the regulatory community and business leaders from global financial institutions.

What is the state of Eurozone financial integration in 2023? Following the success of our inaugural two conferences, the third instalment will explore the state and competitiveness of the EU’s financial services sector. Our expert speakers will consider how geopolitical tectonic shifts, the rising inflation and interest rates, technological transformation and the evolution of the regulatory framework, have impacted the EU's financial integration. Speakers will also assess EU capital markets’ ability to remain resilient in the face of current challenges and able to support the green and digital transitions.

This event is free to attend however spaces are limited to two per organisation.
