European Banking 2024 - Rethinking Risks and Opportunities, Perspectives from ECB and Finance Leaders 2023 | ICAEW | 23 November 2023 |

We will explore the banking sector's outlook for the upcoming year, including economic factors like interest rates, inflation, and credit risk. We'll also reflect on the stress events that took place earlier in the year and potential lessons learned.

Following on from the ECB we will hold a panel session covering key themes around the economy, sustainability and technology:

• Economic factors and risk: We'll kick off the discussion by examining how the current economic environment, marked by high inflation and rising interest rates, could impact capital and liquidity risks in the coming year. We'll also touch on potential credit risk developments and the regulatory landscape.

• Sustainability in Banking: Sustainability is a top priority in the banking sector. Our session will explore how European banks are addressing the CSRD, transition plans, and their broader role in supporting the transition to a net-zero future.

• Technology's role: Technology is reshaping banking, and we'll look into how banks are using artificial intelligence, data analytics, and technologies like blockchain to innovate.
