Finance:European Financial Services Roundtable
The European Financial Services Round Table (EFR) brings together chairmen and chief executives of leading European banks and insurance companies.

Walter Kielholz is Chairman of the EFR. Martin Boer was named Secretary General in November 2012.
The EFR is also engaged in the lessons to be drawn from the financial crisis to render the financial system more resilient. The EFR deals in particular with the global G20 agenda, regulation and supervision, consumer protection and pensions.
