Andrea Enria, the outgoing Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank, will reflect on his experience as head of European banking supervision.
From the pandemic to the Russian invasion of Ukraine (or - the war in Ukraine), from ultra-low interest rates to a new macro-economic environment, from Brexit to new banking crises his tenure has spanned an exceptionally eventful 5-year period.
In this event Andrea will analyse the state of the European banking sector and also look at the future of the European Banking Union.
