High-Level Breakfast Briefing on the European Banking Union

Tue. September 23, 2014
08:00 am - 10:00 am

!



In response to the financial crisis the European Union has pursued a number of initiatives to create a safer and sounder financial sector. These initiatives include stronger prudential requirements for banks, improved depositor protection and rules for restructuring or resolving failing banks.

On the basis of the European Commission roadmap for the creation of a Banking Union, the EU institutions have agreed to establish a Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) for banks, and a Single Resolution Mechanism as well as a Single Resolution Fund.

A Single Rule Book for banks within Banking Union will lead to further efficiency gains through a harmonisation of supervisory practices.

Join us for a briefing by a top-level panel with experts from the European Union and the United States subjects that will be covered will include:
• The financial architecture in the European Union and the US markets – differences and similarities
• A status update on the European banking union, the SSM, Single Resolution Mechanism, Stress Tests & the Asset Quality Review (AQR)
• Implementation of the banking union across Europe & how it is contributing to Europe's financial stability
• How will the banking union and the single rule book (for Capital requirements, Deposit Guarantee Schemes and Bank recovery and resolution) effect U.S. market participants.
