BETTER FINANCE is once again proud to take part in European Retirement Week, co-hosting this year’s event with FESE.

The 2025 conference will focus on the forthcoming legislative proposals to advance the Savings and Investments Union (SIU). The discussion will bring together perspectives from both financial market infrastructures (FMIs) and retail investor communities, exploring how to better channel household savings into capital markets to strengthen pensions and foster long-term growth.

Join us as we debate how Europe can align its policy objectives with the needs of citizens and investors, ensuring retirement security while supporting sustainable economic development.
