Each year, the European Commission (EC) and the European Central Bank (ECB) organise a joint high-level conference on European financial integration and stability. This year’s conference will devote specific attention to the international role of the euro. Other sessions will focus on the challenges to EU banking and capital markets in the digital age. Key policymakers, financial market and industry leaders, and renowned academics will discuss the international role of the euro and challenges to banking and capital markets in several high-level panel sessions.
