The banking industry in Israel and other countries has undergone massive changes in the past few years. The 2008 financial crisis caused many banks around the world to crash, prompted rapid and strict regulations as social protests pressured banks to lower prices and resulted in the emergence of new institutions to compete against banks. At the same time, the determination of governments to combat tax evasion has turned banks into a key tool in this fight. The Next Generation Banking session at the 2014 “Globes” Israel Business Conference will examine how these changes will affect banks and whether the banks are ready for the new world of banking.
The session participants will be Bank of Israel Supervisor of Banking Dudu Zaken; Prof. Anat Admati, professor of finance and economics at The Graduate School of Business at Stanford University; Prof. Erik Berglöf, chief economist and special adviser to the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), an expert in transition economics and reforms in the EU and a former advisor at the IMF, World Bank, and OECD; and Bank Hapoalim (TASE: POLI) chief economist Prof. Leo Leiderman, a lecturer at the Eitan Berglas School of Economics at Tel Aviv University. The moderator will be “Globes” banking and capital markets correspondent Irit Avissar.
