Future Development Prospects of Global Banking Showcased at Conference
The 18th Santander International Banking Conference is set to return on July 16, 2025, in Santander Group City, Madrid. Since its inception 15 years ago, this annual event has grown in popularity, attracting bankers, regulators, government officials, scholars, and other stakeholders from various sectors. This year's conference, themed around sustainable economic growth, promises to be a platform for dialogue and collaboration among leaders in the banking industry.
The conference will be a hybrid event, allowing guests to attend in person or watch online. The general public is invited to participate, and the event will also be broadcast online for those unable to attend in person.
Over the years, the conference has covered a wide range of topics, from payments and competition to regulatory resets and net-zero emissions. This year, the focus is on sustainable finance, digital transformation, climate risk management, inclusive banking practices, and regulatory frameworks for sustainable banking.
Discussions on integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into banking practices will be a key topic. The role of technology in supporting sustainable economic growth, particularly in enhancing efficiency and reducing carbon footprints, will also be explored. Strategies for assessing and mitigating climate-related risks in financial portfolios will be another important discussion.
Promoting financial inclusion as a key component of sustainable economic growth is another topic that will be addressed. The conference will also delve into global regulatory developments that support sustainable banking practices.
Leading public and private sector figures are expected to attend the conference, sharing their insights and experiences in driving sustainable economic growth amid geopolitical uncertainty, technology transformation, and shifts in trade dynamics. Organizations like the European Central Bank, the World Bank, and major banks with a focus on sustainability are likely to be represented.
The Santander International Banking Conference is more than just a platform for debate and opinion-sharing. It is a unique opportunity for policymakers, businesses, and banks to exchange views on crucial issues affecting the economy and society.
