Welcome to our Gold Friends weekly e-mail.
Welcome back from holidays... and Europe was far more active over the summer than expected - so this is a bumper newsletter!
I was also active with Zoom/YouTube… most recently with the European Liberal Forum (ELF) seminar “Completing the Banking Union” - elaborating on the comments I made in the 165th Brussels4Breakfast Zoom. I will also be moderating the “Trade in Services” session on September 11th in ELF’s Expert Forum on “Internal Market and Trade”. Former Commissioner Mario Monti will open the event with his thoughts on “Re-thinking the Single Market post-COVID-19” (Register here)
The next term will surely be historic as EU banks come to terms with the Covid loan losses and the reality of Brexit finally strikes!
