A number of prominent politicians and senior company managers from around Europe will speak at the Liechtenstein Dialogue 2006, which will focus on global risks and investor confidence.
The third Liechtenstein dialogue, to be held on the 5th and 6th of October in Vaduz, will seek to answer questions such as how financial intermediaries deal with risk, how investor confidence evolves in an increasingly globalised world, and what measures can be taken at local level to counter global risk.
“In this rapidly changing environment, high-quality performance in the areas of risk management and compliance as well as innovative products and services are of decisive importance to the competitiveness of individual locations and financial market participants,” explained the Liechtenstein government, which organisises the event, in a statement.
The roster of speakers scheduled to contribute to the dialogue include: Jean Asselborn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Luxembourg; Albert Pintat, Prime Minister of Andorra; Prince Philipp von und zu Liechtenstein, Chairman, LGT Group Foundation; Friedrich Merz, Member of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group, German Bundestag; Manfred Weber, General Manager and Member of the Board of Directors, Association of German Banks; Thomas Müller, Group Chief Financial Officer (Group CFO) for the Swiss Life Group; Adrian F. Leuenberger, Member of the Executive Board and Head of Private Banking International, Bank Leu; and Philip Marcovici, Partner Baker & McKenzie, Zurich, among other speakers.
Commenting on the event, Liechtenstein’s Prime Minister Otmar Hassler observed that: “An open and constructive discussion of the changing framework conditions in a globalized world is inescapable.”
“The Liechtenstein Dialogue wants to contribute to the shape of globalization in a positive way, even in light of the associated uncertainties and risks,” he added.
The second Liechtenstein Dialogue, held on 27 and 28 October 2005, brought over 100 decision-makers from politics and business, representing about 15 countries, together in Vaduz.
"The Liechtenstein Dialogue has developed into a forum where highly topical questions surrounding the financial market can be discussed in depth," noted Hassler last year.
