SUMMARY:2nd DIW Women’s Finance Summit The Future of Financial Services 
 – Digitization\, Sustainability and Post-Pandemic Growth Models
DESCRIPTION:After failing to fully recover from the last financial crisis\,
  the pandemic poses major new challenges for banks. However\, this time\, 
 banks are not the problem\, but part of the solution. By providing credit 
 to the economy\, banks play a crucial role in fighting the pandemic by ens
 uring the transmission of fiscal and monetary stimulus to the economy. Nev
 ertheless\, banks are not among the winners of the pandemic\, suffering fr
 om a drop in interest rates and from increased provisions for non-performi
 ng loans.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;In addition\, the financial sector is still undergo
 ing a profound transformation process. The regulatory environment remains 
 a headwind for financial institutions\, and new technologies are changing 
 the rules of the game. Populism and political and geopolitical uncertainti
 es create additional challenges\, curtailing investment and risk-taking. F
 inally\, the ever-increasing focus for investors and corporations alike on
  topics around ESG – environmental\, social\, and governance – and sus
 tainability brings with it a whole new set of challenges and opportunities
  that need to be navigated. An important element in successfully tackling 
 these challenges is a healthy corporate culture that allows for the necess
 ary change to happen – including an increase in female representation an
 d a better gender balance in corporate board rooms.This conference will pr
 esent an outlook on these developments and their implications for the fina
 ncial services industry and economies at large\, primarily presented by le
 ading female exponents of the financial services industry as well as key p
 ublic authorities.
