The National Bank of Belgium invites you to the colloquium on: "10 years of prudential supervision at the NBB".
Since 2011 the supervision of banking, insurance and other financial institutions at microprudential level is entrusted to the National Bank of Belgium while the supervision of financial markets and consumer protection are the remit of the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA).
With a range of regulatory and institutional reforms the National Bank of Belgium has paved the way for a more robust and stable financial system in order to enhance the trust and the credibility in the financial sector.
Instead of looking backwards, this colloquium primarily wants to focus on the challenges for prudential policy in the near and distant future. Both the European Commission and the European Central Bank will present their views on this theme while Febelfin and Assuralia will make contributions on behalf of the sector federations.
