The ESCB Legal Conference 2022, organized by the European Central Bank (ECB), took place online on 5 and 6 September 2022. This annual event convened legal scholars and practitioners to discuss a broad range of legal topics pertinent to the European System of Central Banks (ESCB).
Key topics covered during the conference included the transformation of legal practice through visualization and legal design thinking, legal and financial aspects of monetary policy operations with non-banks, and the legal interoperability of retail central bank digital currencies from a comparative law perspective. Other sessions addressed the ECB's internal review procedures for contract award decisions, the relevance of the General Data Protection Regulation for banking supervision, and the division of responsibilities between the ECB and national competent authorities concerning anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.
The conference featured a series of panel discussions chaired by prominent figures such as Hilde Hardeman, Director General of the Publication Office of the European Union, and György Várhelyi, Lead Legal Counsel at the ECB. Panellists included experts from the ECB, national central banks, academia, and international organizations, providing diverse perspectives on the topics discussed.
This event was particularly relevant for legal professionals within the ESCB, national central banks, and supervisory authorities, offering insights into current legal challenges and developments affecting the European banking and financial sectors.
