The continent’s financial sector is in the spotlight: with  Article 50 triggered at the end of March 2017, Europe’s capital markets face the implications of Brexit alongside new financial regulations and a struggling economy.

Co-hosted by POLITICO and L’AGEFI, the “Capital Markets Summit 2017: how to navigate the post-Brexit shakeup” was the second edition of their capital market series. This international summit examined the challenges and opportunities for capital markets in a post-Brexit Europe. It was an opportunity for European policymakers and business leaders to debate how to adapt their policies and business models to a changing financial landscape.
