Members & non-members event

date & time

24/09/2020 5.30-7.30 EET

With COVID-19 unleashing critical consequences onto the global economy, traditional crisis playbooks had to be rewritten in an attempt to deal with the most unprecedented economic crisis in modern history.

After discussing the economic crisis and its consequences on systemic risk in the US in the Spring, CFA Institute is now shifting the debate to the EU. We would like to discuss the difficult process and coordination of responses leading to the design of a European relief package, the effects of such discussion on the foundational principles of EU institutions, and the potential consequences on systemic risk.

Join this free webinar, on 24 September at 16:30-18:30 (CEST), to hear from CFA Institute, members of the Systemic Risk Council and prominent figures from EU institutions discuss the European fiscal and monetary response in light of the global political debates that are unfolding. The webinar will focus on:

1. Coordination of Euro relief packages
2. A tense budgeting process
3. How COVID measures play into the discussions about EU institutions and the formation of a strong Capital Markets Union
4. Looming systemic risks that need further attention
