2025 Highlights

Following the success of the inaugural European Financial Risk Symposium, where leaders gathered for a focused half-day session on the evolving European risk landscape, EFRS is returning for another half-day symposium in London. On 4 November 2026, we will once again bring together regulators and industry practitioners — this time at Deutsche Bank's offices in Moorgate.

This evolution reflects the increasing complexity of the financial sector and the continued need for meaningful engagement on the issues shaping European markets. The 2026 agenda goes further than broad oversight, addressing the key challenges present in today's financial systems. As jurisdictions debate the finalization of Basel III and the viability of the FRTB package, EFRS 2026 provides the definitive forum for those tasked with reconciling divergent approaches to international standards and fostering market competitiveness.

2026 Highlight Themes

  • Is Basel Broken? Salvaging international standard setting.

  • Leveling the Playing Field: can regulatory reform drive European competitiveness?

  • The Trading Book on "Life Support": A critical evaluation of IMA vs. SA approaches and whether current packages are enough to sustain bank participation.

  • The Digital Frontier: Navigating the rise of Digital Assets—identifying where the true opportunities lie amidst emerging challenges.
