The EUROFI Financial Forum started on Wednesday in Prague where – in light of the Czech presidency of the EU Council– over 500 prominent participants were discussing numerous current affairs and issues, as well as possible solutions and policies. The attendees were addressed, among others, by Valdis Dombrovskis, the Vice-President of the European Commission and the Commissioner for Trade, Mairead McGuinness, the Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and Capital Markets Union, Odile Renaud-Basso, the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Werner Hoyer, the President of the European Investment Bank (EIB), and many others. This 3-day, high-profile forum has been traditionally attended by the VZMD President, Mr. Kristjan Verbič, at the invitation of the organizers. Mr. Verbič had arrived to Prague the night before the event and together with the Managing Director of the European Federation of Investors (BETTER FINANCE) and colleagues from France, Germany, and Lithuania attended the informal dinner hosted by Viktor Vodička, the President of the Czech Consumer Association (SČS).
Like many times before, Mr. Verbič used this Forum as an opportunity for meetings, gatherings, and talks to address the efforts of VZMD, as well as their international activities and business-investor programs: Invest to Slovenia (investo.si) and International Investors` Network (investo.international). The EUROFI Forum is a meeting of the highest representatives from the financial industry, which – alongside the meeting of the European ministers of economy and finance (ECOFIN) – always takes place in the country holding the Presidency of the EU Council. Exactly a year ago, it was held in Ljubljana, immediately before the conference of BETTER FINANCE and VZMD at Bled (VIDEO: https://youtu.be/JoaQyqZlVwg).
