Efforts to strengthen risk management of the banking and insurance sector were stepped up in the wake of the 2008 financial crash.

In the US, regulators adopted the Dodd-Franck Act while the EU followed up with its own Solvency Directive. Meanwhile, the Basel rules were applied across the finance industry on a global scale.

However, the new Trump Administration is reviewing the Dodd-Franck Act to ease regulation in the financial sector. This has raised questions on whether the EU should adapt its own rules in order to maintain a level playing field.

EURACTIV invites you to this workshop to discuss current challenges and the way forward in regulating financial services.

Questions will include:

- What trends are to be expected from the US? Should the EU relax its own rules?

- Are Basel III and Solvency II effective? Should they be revised?

- How to preserve the competitiveness of EU financial services while ensuring the protection of consumers?

- Can a level-playing field in the banking and insurance sector be created at the global level?
