Perspectives of Cross-border Banking
Où
Hotel Warwick, Rue de Lausanne 14, Geneva
Quand
13:30 - 16:45
The political mood in most OECD countries has become increasingly inward-looking and even protectionist: Swiss voters decided to restrict the free movements of person, UK voters decided to exit the EU, the US-president presented a protectionist agenda, and politics of many EU countries – and the EU as such – is distinctively inward-looking. The international standards tend to be relegated to second or third priority. This development affects the cross-border business of international centres.
Experts from Switzerland and abroad will discuss the situation for the European financial centres and Switzerland. This AFBS Event is jointly organised with other European Association of Foreign Banks, and is the fourth edition of their conference cycle.
The meeting will be held in English; no translation. Conference charge is CHF 90.00; we apply an early bird rate of CHF 70.00 for payments made until November 3, 2017. For questions and registration please contact info@foreignbanks.ch or +41 44 224 40 70.
