The competitiveness of the EU banking sector has moved firmly up the policy agenda following the European Commission's publication of its Communication on competitiveness in July 2026. As policymakers seek to strengthen growth and investment across Europe, attention is turning to the regulatory reforms needed to support a more competitive banking sector while maintaining financial resilience.

Join our complimentary webinar for an informative discussion with industry representatives and EU stakeholders on the reforms that could have the greatest impact on European competitiveness. The session will explore simplification of the capital stack and supervisory framework, market integration, and targeted changes to CRR3, including trade finance, software, crypto-assets and specialised lending.

Topics that will be covered during the webinar include:
• How can the EU simplify the capital stack while maintaining resilience?
• What reforms are needed to enhance supervision and market integration?
• What are the competitiveness implications of the output floor and selected CRR3 provisions?
• What political challenges could affect the delivery of reform?
• What impact could proposed changes have on banks' capital requirements?

This webinar will take place 24 September 2026 10:00-11:00 BST / 11:00-12:00 CEST.
