Finance Summit 2023 | POLITICO | 22 March 2023 | Live

Europe’s economy is heading into troubled waters. Inflationary pressure, driven by the most acute economic circumstances since 2008, has put policymakers in the hot seat to steady the course. On top of this, leaders across Europe have been tasked with running a tight ship – finishing up on key finance policy files and keeping up with a disrupting FinTech economy. What will 2023 look like once the storm has settled?

This summit will peek into the telescope to see what’s next for the finance sector, and what role it will play in driving tomorrow’s economy. A much-needed status update of Europe’s economic situation will kick off the day, followed by in-depth discussions on banking, green finance and more, topped off by compelling discussions on crypto and payments.
