Each year the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission organise a joint high-level conference on European financial integration. This annual conference has established itself as an important meeting place for a high-level exchange of views between policy makers, regulators, industry leaders, representatives of civil society and academics on current themes that matter for financial integration in Europe. It also marks the launch of the annual European Financial Stability and Integration Review, the flagship publication prepared by the Commission services, and the bi-annual report Financial Integration and Structure in the Euro Area prepared by the ECB.
