European Financial Services Round Table

Mission & Goals

The European Financial Services Round Table (EFR) was formed in 2001. The Members of EFR are Chairs and Chief Executive Officers of globally active banks and insurers headquartered in Europe. EFR Members believe in a fully integrated EU financial market for financial services. A true single market needs coherent rules and requirements and has to reflect the diversity of banking and insurance business models. Strong market discipline is essential to ensure the alignment of interests of the financial sector with those of European citizens and the wider economy. The integration of financial markets does not stop at the EU’s borders – markets are increasingly global. EFR Members encourage national and European leaders to establish internationally consistent and coherent financial regulation and supervision to support and promote free and open markets throughout the world.
