Just wrapped up a very interesting and insightful 2-days meeting of the Risk Standing Committee of @ESMAComms in Paris. It is a great privilege for me to chair such an outstanding Committee and many thanks to the two rapporteurs from #ESMA, Claudia Guagliano and Christian Winkler, for putting together such an interesting selection of topics and speakers for discussion. During the first day we had our internal meeting with presentations coming mainly from #ESMA staff and other members of the Committee. The second day was a joint meeting with our Consultative Team, a group of experts from the industry and academia. The two main topics of discussion during the second day was on the Savings & Investment Union (#SIU) and Private Finance. Both are key topics, the first relates to the competitiveness of the European Capital Markets, while the second relates to an industry that has been growing rapidly and needs to be monitored to mitigate risks that can threaten investor protection but also financial stability. Excellent presentations and great insights from the Consultative Team. #SIU #privatefinance #privatecredit #competitiveness #investorprotection #financialstability
