We just closed out another successful European Summit! This edition kicked off last night with a dinner program at the Ritz Paris, featuring a conversation with Paul BÉRARD, Chief Executive Officer of Région Île-de-France, and Eleni (Lenio) Myrivili, Global Chief Heat Officer, Atlantic Council's Arsht-Rock Resilience Center and UN-Habitat. Today we started off the day's programming at the headquarters of our host and lead sponsor, BNP Paribas, with welcome remarks from event moderator Carolin Roth and IIF President and CEO Tim Adams, followed by remarks from the always-engaging Jean Lemierre, Chairman of BNP Paribas. Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) Chair Sabine Mauderer followed, sharing key insights on the day's focus -- financing the energy transition. This morning, we also heard from panelists French Banking Federation's Maya Atig, Amundi AM's Jean-Jacques Barbéris and UniCredit's Pietro Carlo Padoan on enabling green growth; ADGM's Emmanuel Givanakis, AP1's Kristin Magnusson Bernard and HSBC's Andrew Wild on charting the course to transition; and NGFS' Jean Boissinot, European Banking Authority's José Manuel Campa, European Commission's Alexandra Jour-Schröder and BNP Paribas Asset Management's Sandro Pierri on the regulatory landscape for sustainable finance. We also were joined for one-on-one conversations with Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe, Jaques Delors Institute President Enrico Letta, and Honorary Governor of the Banque de France, Christian Noyer. The afternoon program kicked off with an all-female panel on rethinking sustainable investment moderated by Sonja Gibbs, CFA, with Jessica Alsford of Morgan Stanley, 🌍 Lara de Mesa of Santander, Kristin Parello-Plesner of Danske Bank and Hacina Py of Société Générale. Banque de France Governor François Villeroy de Galhau weighed in on the debate around central bank mandates and climate finance: "You cannot, as a central bank, achieve price stability without taking into consideration climate change," while German State Secretary Jörg Kukies noted that "semiconductors will be at the epicenter of economic growth going forward" with innovative potential for medicine, autos, chemicals and more, and Germany wants to be at the core. The rest of the afternoon was filled with panels on enabling the real economy transition, financing green technology and building robust sustainable markets.
