Despite some progress in guaranteeing the presence of women at various levels, including top positions of economic and financial institutions, the overall situation is still highly unsatisfactory. The purpose of this high-level event is therefore to provide an opportunity to address gender equality in the fields of economic, monetary and financial affairs with key EU and international decision-makers, such as Christine LAGARDE, President of the European Central Bank, Janet YELLEN, US Secretary of the Treasury, Kristalina GEORGIEVA, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, and many others. EP President, Roberta METSOLA, will deliver a closing statement.

The event will be webstreamed. More details below.
