An opening statement about the Forum on Financial Supervision by the editors, Andrea Enria and Pedro Duarte Neves
About the Forum
The Forum on Financial Supervision seeks to trigger a lively debate on the most prominent issues on financial stability, by releasing written policy contributions from senior representatives from supervisory authorities, academia, and financial industry. The Forum hosts opinions on regulatory and supervisory issues with a broad coverage (microprudential, macroprudential, conduct, anti-money laundering, amongst others), for all the segments of the financial sector (banks and non-banks), and with a global perspective.
The Forum explores the current challenges for the preservation of financial stability and discusses possible options for regulatory policy and supervisory practices. The contributions will be released in two tracks: general contributions on any relevant topic for the preservation of financial stability; thematic contributions on selected topics which will be defined on an annual basis. Specific categories for 2025 are (i) stress testing, (ii) risk from real estate, and (iii) risks from non-banks.
The Forum releases varied and complementary views on the most relevant issues on financial stability, with a view to foster an open dialogue between supervisory authorities, academia and financial industry. Opinions are completely independent and reflect only personal views. The Forum welcomes feedback on the contributions and on any suggestions concerning other relevant topics to be covered. The editors of the Forum are Andrea Enria and Pedro Duarte Neves.
