14th Annual Meeting of SFI
Credit is the engine of growth, but can excessive debt reduce the economy’s resilience to shocks? The SFI 2019 Annual Meeting will bring together top decision-makers in banking with leading academics to discuss questions such as:
- How has the supply and demand for debt evolved?
- Should we worry about excessive public and private debt levels in some countries?
- Do new forms of lending create new risks?
SFI's Annual Meeting is one of the leading events in the Swiss financial community's calendar and an exclusive discussion platform. This year's Annual Meeting will bring together the finest minds in academia and key financial market players to take stock of the evolving role of debt in the economy.
Register now for the conference and join us in exchanging the knowledge and expertise that will keep Switzerland at the top in banking and finance.
