Two years after the inaugural Amsterdam Financial Forum, financial leaders from around the world once again convened in Amsterdam to discuss the future shape of the industry.
There was no question that discussion had moved on from the causes of, and the immediate responses to, the global financial crisis. The tone of discussion was more forward looking, yet it was notable that in many respects the industry is still feeling its way.
The Forum’s programme framed the future of the industry in the broadest possible terms, exploring global economics and politics, the future of financial firms and the shape of the global financial architecture. Discussion and debate ranged widely over the course of the Forum’s two days.
