Private and public value: the two faces of banking | 6th ECB Forum on Banking Supervision

Source: European Central Bank (video statements)

What is the public good of banking and banking supervision? Is there a trade-off between shareholder value and the wider public interest? How does the creation of private value in banking align with the public interest? What roles do regulation and supervision play in maintaining a balance?
• Richard Gnodde, Vice Chairman, Goldman Sachs
• Jella Benner-Heinacher, President, Better Finance
Moderator: Naomi Lloyd, TV journalist

Every two years the Forum brings together high-level policymakers, academics, financial executives and experts to exchange views on current developments in banking and supervision.

What disruptors are challenging our status quo, and how should banks respond to prevalent uncertainty? How are geopolitics shaping the financial sector? Have a look at the programme and join inspiring discussions.

The conference took place on 13 and 14 November 2025 in Frankfurt am Main.
