This closed-doors, two-days Chatham House executive seminar on Financial Surveillance will (1) take stock of the state of the art in the supervision and resolution of banks and other non-bank actors in Europe; (2) will assess the market impact and developments of the recently implemented prudential and resolution rules and will (3) critically review current oversight gaps and risks and explore possible remedies. Compared to past editions which focussed on the banking sector, this executive seminar will look both at banks and non-banks realities.
The executive seminar will be held in the context of the Florence School of Banking and Finance’s 4th Advisory Council and Scientific Committee Meeting.
