BETTER FINANCE is pleased to announce its upcoming International Conference on “Towards a Savings and Investment Union (SIU).” This one-day event will convene policymakers, industry leaders, and financial experts to address key issues shaping the future of retail investor participation and value for money in EU financial markets. 

The conference will feature:

✔ Keynote Speech by Maria Luís Albuquerque, Commissioner, DG FISMA, European Commission, on the EU’s Retail Investment Strategy and the next steps toward fair and accessible investment opportunities for retail investors.

✔ Various panels discussing topics such as:

1. Enhancing retail investor participation in EU financial markets.
2. Tackling challenges such as trust, accessibility, and transparency.
3. Exploring the role of digital innovation in improving financial services.

✔ A fireside chat which explores how retail investors can be protected in the age of fraud and scams, focusing on online financial fraud, financial literacy, and collective redress mechanisms. 

Alongside discussion of ideas and insights, the conference is an opportunity to network and engage in discussions with leading experts in the field.

More information on the programme is coming soon! Until then, mark your calendars – we look forward to welcoming you to Brussels as we explore how we can shape a more inclusive and robust Savings and Investment Union!
