3rd Global Financial Regulation, Transparency, and Compliance Index 2022 | Swiss Finance Institute | 26 April 2022 | Fédération des Entreprises Romandes Genève, Rue de Saint-Jean 98, 1201 Genève, Switzerland

Connect with academics and practitioners to move beyond current practice, exchanging the knowledge and expertise that will keep Switzerland at the top of banking & finance.

Financial regulation, transparency, and compliance continue to be major aspects in the analysis of a financial center's reputation and attractiveness. Influential factors in this regard include a country's general political and regulatory environment, its governance structure and efficiency, the scope and quality of the services provided by its financial institutions, the safety of its banks and how strictly they are regulated, and its exposure to corruption, money laundering, and terrorist financing.

Against this background, the Swiss Finance Institute introduced and published the "Global Financial Regulation, Transparency, and Compliance Index (GFRTCI)." The GFRTCI scores and ranks various countries in terms of adoption of, compliance with, and enforcement of a set of global financial regulatory, transparency, and compliance standards. The index is constructed as a "meta-index", based on public data from established existing rankings, indices, and research studies. It is fully transparent and can help identify and understand the strengths and weaknesses of different countries and therefore support the ongoing discussion of the current regulatory environment.

This year’s event will begin with the presentation of the 2022 GFRTCI results with a keen eye on what has changed over the past years. The discussion will then shift to provide a practitioner’s view on the topic of financial regulation, transparency, and compliance. Finally, a panel of experts will tackle the key question of knowing whether there is too much or too little banking regulation today. The audience will be able to participate to the panel discussions.
