Fiona Wolff appears to be on the Board of Patrons with Lord Brittan the paedophile A Letter from the Board of Patrons As Patrons of City Week, we are delighted to offer our support to City Week 2014. If current trends continue, City Week 2014 will take place at a time when there is a greater degree of optimism about the world’s developed economies, although emerging economies, with the exception of China and Africa, may still find themselves facing a challenging environment. As new regulations, designed to improve the financial stability and resilience of the industry, have begun to be implemented across the world, financial institutions have had to adapt their business models to the new order. The changes to the global regulatory framework have had a profound impact on the relative profitability of different sectors and business lines. More broadly, financial institutions have had to redefine their relationship with their stakeholders and with society as a whole in order to demonstrate that the lessons of the past have been learned. Against this backdrop, City Week 2014 will address: The global economic prognosis – identifying the new engines for economic growth The potential stimulus for financial services from the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Reforming the EU and completing the Single Market: implications for the financial services industry Coherence and convergence in international financial regulation: to what extent can these be achieved? The UK’s ‘twin peak’ regulatory structure – a perspective one year on Taking stock of the global financial services reform programme: what remains to be done? Cyber security as a boardroom issue for financial institutions Corporate governance, trust, diversity and societal value Changing the culture of financial institutions so that they reconnect with the real economy How are BRIC growth strategies adjusting to the economic slowdown for emerging economies? Achieving alpha – investment strategies and asset classes in a rapidly changing world Global derivatives 2.0 – emerging trends in the new, post-reform world How technology will transform the financial services industry over the next decade We look forward to welcoming a highly eminent faculty of international speakers to explore these and other crucial themes and their economic and market impact over the course of City Week. City Week is now firmly established as the premier international event of its kind. City Week 2014 will build on the success of the 2013 event, which attracted 700 delegates from 50 countries. It will consist of two days of cutting-edge conferences, seminars and networking opportunities, with an optional third day of one-to-one networking meetings. Attendance is by invitation only and is free of charge for our overseas guests. We very much hope that you will be able to join us in March 2014.
