Fourteen years after the global financial crisis, how secure are banks? Can policymakers make the system safe at a time when rising interest rates have left the financial services sector exposed.

It is against this setting that The Economist Group, under the auspices of the British Embassy in Athens has great pleasure in organising this event is entitled “Manoeuvring through the current turmoil”.

The given speakers will be joining us to cover the following topics;

• Can the financial world feel at ease or not following the recent shockwaves?
• Are the BRIC countries challenging the West?
• How long can inflation and interest rates last?
• Is Europe’s economy protected from the shockwaves?
