The Euro Capital Markets Conference 2020 | Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC. | 4 March 2020 | TBA, Berlin, DE

Government officials, industry bodies and associations, regulators, financial, public sector and corporate issuers, investors, and representatives from the sponsoring banks will all take to the stage to debate and discuss topics of vital importance to the future of the euro area fixed income markets.

As Europe’s traditional financial hub leaves the European Union, the fixed income market needs to understand the implications for regulation, the balance of power at Commission, and the competitive landscape between financial centres. At the same time, this conference will consider the new agenda for Europe, in particular the attempts to finish the job over Capital Markets Union and to fully integrate Europe’s climate agenda into the financial markets – a simple and popular idea, beset with practical problems that need to be addressed.

The new regulatory agenda cannot be seen in isolation from the realities of a prolonged negative interest rate environment. Events as disparate as the repo market spike, growing income inequality and benchmark reform can all be linked to monetary policy – will the Lagarde era at the ECB take a new direction? Or will the legacy of Draghi continue to be felt for years to come?

The structural implications of monetary policy for the fixed income market will in turn create commercial implications for the banking sector – will we see the much anticipated wave of banking M&A?
