Topics to be addressed include, without being limited to: financial stability; banking competition and regulation; market supervision and market infrastructure; decentralized (digital) finance and crypto assets/banking; central banking channels: banks, markets, non-banks; and ESG finance and impact measurement (incl. taxonomy).
