The European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Money and Finance Forum (SUERF) will jointly hold the conference Simplifying Europe for the financial sector.

Over the past decade, European financial regulation has evolved significantly, strengthening the resilience of banks across the continent. Yet, increasingly demanding rules have sparked debate about their impact on Europe’s growth and competitiveness, raising important questions about the balance between simplicity and effective oversight. To address these pressing issues, this conference will gather distinguished speakers from across the financial community to provide insightful discussions and expert perspectives on the future of European regulation.
