"Europe’s pursuit of digital sovereignty has become increasingly critical to financial and technological policy. As payments infrastructure, cloud services, digital identity systems, and digital currencies intersect with geopolitics, European policymakers are working to reduce strategic dependencies while maintaining financial stability, fintech prowess, and global openness.

This session explores how European financial institutions can implement strategic autonomy without fragmenting the global financial system, the role of regulators in fostering conditions for greater digital self-reliance, and the practical steps needed to ensure Europe’s financial system remains competitive, innovative, and resilient."

Daniela Stoffel, State Secretary of the State Secretariat for International Finance (SIF)

Januš Kizenevič, Vice-Minister of Finance, Minister of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania

Steven Maijoor, Executive Board Member of De Nederlandsche Bank
