Finance Forum: Global Regulatory Trends and Risk for International Banking
The event aims to examine key global regulatory trends, AI, associated risks in international banking, and sovereign risk.

Recent geopolitical developments risk diverting attention from the long-term standards we should uphold as a sound business practice, as well as from the principles that should guide our moral compass as international bankers.
Panel discussions will be conducted under the Chatham House Rule and will bring together senior regulatory experts. Key topics will include economic growth and financial stability, central bank independence, cryptoassets (including stablecoins and CBDCs), AI, and cross-border governance.
