- About Paris & the Financial Sector:

Paris rises to Fourth Place Worldwide in OFEX Ranking of Financial Centers. The Ranking remains dominated by the Trio of New York, Chicago and London. China's Financial Centers are making Significant Inroads. All Economic Sectors taken together, the French Capital ranks Second, behind London, in the Ranking of the most Attractive Cities in the World according to the Latest Global Cities Investment Monitor. But the Gap between Paris and the British Capital is narrowing in terms of Foreign Investment.

The Financial Sector has been under Considerable Pressure in the Past Decade. Businesses, Citizens and National Authorities have been affected by the Financial Crisis. Challenges on Development of New Technologies, the Fragmentation of the EU Markets and Climate Change continue to exist. More recently, Re-Emerging Risks for the Financial Sector will need to be addressed as part of the EU Economic Recovery Efforts.

Europe’s Banks and Asset Managers, with the Support of the Region’s Politicians and Regulators, must seize an Opportunity to close the "Competitiveness Gap" with their Peers in the US and the Rest of the World. A New Way of looking at all Current and Future Financial Regulation is urgently needed. Regulations should be viewed through a Lens of what Impact they have on the Ability of Banks to compete and provide the Finance that the European Economy needs.

Digitalisation is transforming Finance. This can lead to Innovative New Products, Services, Applications and Business Models. Digital Finance has a Key Role to play in shaping a more Competitive, Sustainable, Resilient Economy – and a more Inclusive, Modern, Prosperous Society. A Crypto-Asset is a Digital Representation of Value or a Right that can be transferred or stored Electronically using Distributed Ledger Technology or Similar Technology. Crypto Assets are a Digital Innovation that can streamline Capital-Raising Processes, enhance Competition and create an Innovative and Inclusive Way of Financing for Consumers and SMEs.
