The abrupt end of the low-interest-rate period together with the rise in inflation and the disruptions caused by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine fundamentally change the business environment for financial intermediaries. Technological advances and new climate-related risks also put the current business models to the test. Accordingly, risk managers and supervisors alike face new challenges.

This conference aims to discuss these issues from a scientific perspective. The event will be held in Frankfurt on 9-10 November 2023. It will feature plenary sessions with keynote speeches by Victoria Ivashina (Harvard Business School and CEPR) and Philipp Schnabl (New York University and CEPR) and a dinner speech by Claudia Buch (Vice President of the Deutsche Bundesbank and CEPR).
