Afore Consulting FinTech & Regulation Conference 2019 - Valdis Dombrovskis, European Commission

Описание: Valdis Dombrovskis, Vice-President of the European Commission, opening the Afore Consulting FinTech & Regulation Conference 2019.

On 26 February 2019, Afore Consulting organised its 3rd Annual FinTech & Regulation Conference: Taking innovation to the next level. The event again brought together more than 300 participants from the European regulatory and supervisory community, industry, academia and civil society.

The conference came at an important juncture in the European political cycle. One year after the formal launch of the European Commission’s Action Plan on FinTech, the keynotes and panels took stock how technology and the financial services industry has evolved, what progress the EU has made on its policy objectives and, importantly, helped set out some of the policy and regulatory priorities for the incoming European Parliament and European Commission.

We were delighted to welcome as keynote speakers senior policy-makers and industry participants including Vice-President of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis, Yves Mersch, Member of the Executive Board of the ECB, Christopher Giancarlo, Chairman of the CFTC, Steven Maijoor, Chair of ESMA, Gabriel Bernardino, Chair of EIOPA, and Robert Ophele, President of the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF).
