POLITICO Europe’s Post

The latest Banking labour market trends report by Morgan McKinley and Vacancysoft highlights the challenges the banking sector has faced across the UK for 2024.

Very insightful conversation on the main challenges facing the European banking and financial systems.

David Postings, the head of UK Finance, believes it's time for a change in the banking industry. With London facing increasing competition from financial hubs around the world, Postings wants to level the playing field and keep the city on top. In a recent series of comments, Postings has begun advocating for banks to take more risks in their operations. He believes that playing it safe is no longer a viable option for survival in the fast-paced and ever-changing world of finance. But what does this mean for the average person in the finance sector? Let's talk about that: https://bit.ly/48bI3EZ #Finance #FinanceIndustry #UKFinance #BankingIndustry

🇫🇷 There is Paris! #France #Finance #Market #Europe #Brexit #Banks According to the ranking of the Louis-Bachelier Institute, Paris is the 5th financial center in the world, and the first in continental Europe ahead of Frankfurt (6th) and Amsterdam (12th). London, the 3rd financial center in the world, retains first place in Europe. If France experienced a resounding setback at the end of February with the announcement of the installation of the new European authority for the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism (AMLA) in Frankfurt, this should not mask a post-war overview. -Brexit rather favorable to Paris. This is all the more remarkable given the fierce competition between the main financial capitals (Dublin, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Luxembourg). Since Brexit, Paris is: ↳ The reception of several American banks (Bank of America, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi) which have made Paris their European base. By the end of 2022, nearly 3,000 bankers and financiers had left London for Paris. This is more than Frankfurt (1,800) and Dublin (1,200). ↳ The arrival of the European Banking Authority (EBA) in the La Défense business district ↳ The 1st European place in terms of market capitalization, ahead of London ↳ Mobilization of the State, the region and the city of Paris: lobbying actions, real estate, development of infrastructure and reception capacities in international high schools, tax measures, etc. A collective success! And it may not be over. At the beginning of January the Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, announced his intention to present a legislative text to strengthen the attractiveness of the Paris market. A reform was tabled by a Renaissance politic group deputy on March 12. It covers various subjects, in particular technical measures aimed at promoting the financing capacities of companies via the financial markets (IPO, capital increases). Some foreign players would like to go even further. David Livingstone, Chief Client Officer (CCO) and member of Citi's Executive Committee, indicated in an interview given to Les Echos that "labor law in France is complex and has little flexibility" and that flexibility measures could have “a positive influence on the decision-making process” of the bank.

The ongoing reform of UK capital markets is a testament to the ambition of our regulators, authorities, and market participants.

🚀 Exciting Insights from Anat Admati’s Talk at the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). During my recent trip to London, I had the opportunity to attend a talk by Anat Admati, Professor at Stanford School of Business.The event also featured a promotion of her book, *The Bankers' New Clothes: What's Wrong with Banking and What to Do about It*. 🌟 This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the banking industry. Named a Book of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Bloomberg Businessweek, it delves into why our banking system remains vulnerable despite past reforms. Admati and co-author Martin Hellwig clearly debunk the myths around banking crisis and offer practical solutions for creating a safer and healthier financial system. 💡 The talk was a profound reminder of the critical need for ongoing reforms in the banking sector to prevent future crises. These insights are incredibly valuable and reinforce my dedication to contributing to a more resilient and transparent financial system. #BankingReform #Finance #LSE #StanfordBusiness #TheBankersNewClothes #FinancialCrisis #BankingIndustry #CareerDevelopment #FinancialStability
