Finance and frontiers: geopolitics and banking | 6th ECB Forum on Banking Supervision

Source: European Central Bank (video statements)

Geopolitics have a profound impact on banking and banking supervision. Does the reality of global conflict render international coordination a relic of the past? Will there be a race to the bottom when it comes to regulation and supervision? How can banks respond to a potentially widespread and unprecedented loss of predictability?
• Claudia Buch, Chair of the Supervisory Board of the ECB
• Erik Thedéen, Chair, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
• Daniel Pinto, Vice Chairman, JPMorgan Chase
Moderator: Martin Arnold, Financial regulation editor, Financial Times

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.
