Conférence-débat "Quelle finance pour l'autonomie stratégique?"
Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à la prochaine conférence intitulée « Quelle finance pour une autonomie stratégique ? »
Dans un contexte international radicalement nouveau, l’Europe cherche à maintenir sa place dans l’économie mondiale tout en affirmant sa volonté de progresser vers une autonomie stratégique.
Les deux tables rondes porteront sur le rôle du secteur bancaire et financier dans la réalisation de cet objectif.
Peut-il faire davantage pour orienter l’épargne et le crédit vers les priorités politiques de l’Europe, telles que la réindustrialisation, la décarbonation ou la compétitivité dans les secteurs stratégiques ? Quel est le rôle respectif du financement public et privé, ainsi que de la régulation bancaire et financière ? Les normes prudentielles et autres standards doivent-ils être simplifiés ou, au contraire, la régulation doit-elle devenir plus directive afin de canaliser les flux financiers dans la direction souhaitée ?
Programme
9:00 – Coffee reception
9:30 – Introduction
Opening address by Senator Claude Raynal, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee
10:00 – 11:15 – First panel: “Toward a new wave of financial deregulation?”
Presentation followed by an open debate with the audience.
Relaxation of prudential rules and climate risk management, deregulation of crypto-asset markets, the Trump administration’s renewed grip on financial supervisors… A wind of deregulation is blowing in the United States, and Europe is responding by dismantling recently introduced tools (CSRD, CSDDD, green taxonomy…).
Does competition between the world’s major financial centers now hinge on deregulation, and what would be the consequences for financial stability, climate action, or sustainable finance? Or can Europe chart a different course from the U.S. while remaining attractive to investors?
Moderator: Jean-Marc Vittori, columnist and editorial writer, Les Echos
Speakers:
Jean Boissinot, Director of Studies and Risk Analysis, ACPR
Laurence Scialom, Professor of Economics, Paris Nanterre University

11:15 – 11:30 – Coffee break
11:30 – 12:45 – Second panel: “The Union for Savings and Investment – a lever for strategic autonomy?”
Presentation followed by an open debate with the audience.
In March 2025, the European Commission presented its strategy to “improve the way the EU financial system channels savings into productive investments.”
Will this initiative solve Europe’s chronic underinvestment problem, help develop a competitive clean-tech industry, accelerate the energy and ecological transition, and finance outdated infrastructure? Or are additional tools needed to guide financial flows, such as macroprudential rules or structural reforms of the financial system?
