Politico Finance Summit 2021 | POLITICO | 4 March 2021 | Online

The year 2020 started with a pandemic that sparked market turmoil, soared national debt levels and budget deficits and put European countries’ backs to the wall. Europe’s recovery plan remains up in the air.

With the end of the crisis nowhere in sight, the sixth edition of the Finance Summit on March 4, 2021, taking place virtually and in Paris is the perfect occasion for European and national regulators and business leaders to debate Europe’s financial future. The event will deep dive into Europe’s (green) recovery as well as its policy agenda and important issues for Europe’s financial sector such as anti-money laundering, the influence of Big Tech, and Brexit.
