The European Local and Regional Government Finance

The European Local and Regional Government Finance Conference

"Attendance to the Euromoney European Local and Regional Government Finance Conference  is a MUST for any public finance agent, especially during the today’s  period of uncertainty where the bleak economic situation has led us to question current financing models."
Alex Saz Carranza, Treasurer, Institut Catala de Finances

The Conference:

Since 1994 the Euromoney Local & Regional Government Financing Conference has been the foremost annual event for European sub-sovereign borrowers. Officials from Europe’s towns, cities and regions attend this conference to meet with academics, policy makers and financiers from the private sector. For nearly two decades this independent event, financed and supported by both public and private sectors, has led the discussion on sub-national funding.

Now is the very worst of times for public finance, but the very best of times to be holding a serious conference on the new landscape for sub-sovereign borrowers.  The Euromoney Local & Regional Government Financing Conference will convene expert market practitioners from across the region to explore funding possibilities and share experiences during these difficult times.

Topping the agenda will be:

 - A Brave New World?  Fresh Funding Models in the New Economic Landscape
 - Local Authorities in the UK: A Watershed Year?
 - Infrastructure Finance & the Challenge of Public-Private Partnership
 - Meet the Investors: Issues around the asset-class
 - Innovation in Public Finance: Breaking the Funding Stalemate

Amongst those already confirmed to speak are:

 - Bernard Gordon, Head of Public Sector and Utilities in Western Europe, European Investment Bank
 - Nicolas Jannone, Director, Capital Markets, Instituto Valenciano de Finanzas
 - Simon Kilonback, Head of Treasury, Transport for London
 - Eckhard Helms, Treasurer, State of North Rhine-Westphalia
 - Edward Twiddy, Deputy Director, Local Governments Team, HM Treasury
 - Luke Webster, Treasury Manager, Greater London Authority

Join them in London on April 17 as a sponsor, speaker or delegate.  

The conference is free to attend for those working in municipalities, regional or state owned utilities. For all others a fee of £1599 will apply
