European Financial Congress 2025

The European Financial Congress is one of the most important meetings of the financial world in Poland.

The Congress offers a platform for an unconstrained debate on the stability of the European and Polish financial systems, as well as for developing recommendations for systemic solutions for safe and sustainable development. The participants of the EKF include presidents of leading financial institutions, Polish and foreign politicians shaping economic policy, recognised macroeconomists and top-level managers from the banking and capital market, insurance, consulting and legal, innovation and IT sectors, as well as experts from the scientific community.

The EKF was established in 2010 in response to the global financial crisis to seek solutions to banking and public sector problems. The current accumulation of crisis risks in the global economy, geopolitical instability and the collapse of globalisation is not a short-term phenomenon. We are facing at least a decade of turmoil, during which countries and business actors will seek to shape new economic strategies. And all this in the face of a necessary energy transition and the pursuit of sustainable development goals. In Poland and the European Union as a whole, decisions are needed that will determine our place in the future global economic order. As we stand at the threshold of a new era, we need to define new goals and tools for achieving them. The ambition of the Congress is to recommend practical solutions in the areas most important for the common development of the European Union and Polish economy.

The watchword of this year’s European Financial Congress: credibility in times of crisis of confidence. During the three days of the Congress, several dozen topics were discussed in debates and speeches. The leading thematic areas of the Congress included: the new order in the world, in Europe and in Poland, the new order in the financial sector and new technologies in finance.
