Hearings - Hearing on Women in Finance and Economics - 24-10-2023 - Committee on Womens Rights and Gender Equality - Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs

On Tuesday, 24 October 2023, the FEMM and ECON committees are jointly organising a hearing on “Women in Finance and Economics - debate on next challenges in the EU”.This high-level event will take place in the context of the 2023 European Gender Equality Week. The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity to address gender equality with key EU and international decision-makers in the fields of economic, monetary and financial affairs. While there has been much progress in guaranteeing the presence of women at various levels, the overall picture, including in the private sector, is still highly unbalanced and more efforts need to be done. In this regard, the Committees will hear messages from Christine LAGARDE, President of the European Central Bank, Janet YELLEN, US Secretary of the Treasury, and Kristalina GEORGIEVA, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund. Members of the Parliament will also engage in a discussion with Mairead McGUINNESS, Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and Capital Markets Union, as well as with the three Chairs of the European Supervisory Authorities.
