INTERNATIONAL BANKING SUMMIT

Banks in a Deglobalizing World: Delivering for Economy and Society 

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

About the event

The European Banking Summit will explore how the right framework can help banks support Europe’s essential needs: growth, innovation, and security. The summit will bring together senior speakers from European institutions and the banking sector to engage in discussions on financial services policy and its impact on Europe’s global competitiveness. 

The summit will examine the role of the banking sector and banking policy in three key areas: 

  • Growth: How simplifying the regulatory framework can unlock growth and enhance competitiveness 
  • Innovation: The future of payments, AI, and the data economy 
  • Security: The role of banks in ensuring cybersecurity and combating money laundering and the financing of defence

In light of the upcoming European Commission report on the competitiveness of the European banking sector, scheduled for publication in early 2026, the event will address how to tackle the regulatory complexity that undermines the EU’s competitiveness and slows the financial sector’s ability to support households, companies, and the key investments urgently needed by Europe.
