A pension discussion with Dr Florian Toncar, German Federal Ministry of Finance

The starting point for the discussion with guest speaker Dr Florian Toncar, Parliamentary State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry of Finance will be the Aktienrente (or ‘share pension’). The important proposed reforms to the German pensions system. No doubt we will also discuss the German perspective on CMU, sustainable finance, and German and EU capital markets post-Brexit.

We expect participants at the roundtable event to be a combination of policy specialists, senior executives with a focus on the German market, as well as some government officials and policymakers.
