Policy panel discussion: The future of financial services
The financial sector is undergoing a period of substantial structural transformations. Established financial intermediaries are competing with new providers that use alternative ways of supplying financial services to customers. Financial innovations and new technologies are major drivers of these transformations in the financial sector. Participants in this policy panel discussion will provide their insights on how finance will be affected by the emergence of new providers and innovative financial services. Moreover, panellists will discuss how policymakers should respond to the changing nature of the financial industry.

Session 1: Experiences with macroprudential policies
Despite the rather short history of macroprudential policy in the EU, the knowledge and empirical evidence on its effectiveness and transmission is growing rapidly. This session will take stock of the experiences with macroprudential policies in recent years, providing perspectives from both the institutional and the academic angle. Speakers will share their views on the success of macroprudential policy in contributing to financial stability. A key topic in the discussion will be how the EU’s macroprudential framework could be improved to further enhance resilience of the financial system.

Session 2: The role of non-banks in the economy and the financial system
The EU non-bank financial system has grown significantly in recent years. This reinforces the need to develop a framework to monitor risks in this part of the financial sector. Such a risk monitoring framework is a key part of a broader macroprudential strategy. This session will discuss potential financial stability risks and key elements which should be considered when monitoring risks and vulnerabilities in the non-bank financial system.
