Financial Statements: Europe’s financial system structures transformed by EU policies, Brexit, and COVID-19
August 5, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
This webinar is hosted by the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE). For the most updated information and to RSVP, visit their registration page.
The European financial system is widely viewed as inefficient, fragmented, and overly bank-centric. Its structures are affected by developments that include the recent exit from a decade of turmoil in the euro area; EU policy initiatives such as unfinished banking union and barely started capital markets union; technological disruptions; the yearning for a role of finance in the transition to a greener growth model; Brexit; and the COVID-19 shock and its aftermath. This session will provide an opportunity to take stock.
