2025 Financial Markets Conference

The 2025 Financial Markets Conference, prominently hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, is a significant event that took place from May 18-21, 2025.

It was centered around the theme: "Financial Intermediation In Transition: How Will Policy Adapt?"

The conference served as the Atlanta Fed's signature policy and research event, bringing together leading experts to deliberate on emerging issues within financial markets and their potential implications for monetary policy. Key areas of focus for the 2025 conference include:

- The evolving role of nonbank financial institutions.
- The impact of digital financial services.
- Implications of these changes for financial stability.
- The future of monetary policy implementation in light of these transitions.

The event features insights from notable financial leaders and policymakers, with discussions covering topics such as developments in financial intermediation, the role of banks and nonbanks in various market segments (including credit, Treasury, money markets, and payments), and aspects of central bank liquidity provision.

It's worth noting that while the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's event is a major "Financial Markets Conference" in 2025 and is happening currently, there are other conferences throughout the year that also focus on financial markets, hosted by different organizations with varying specific themes and target audiences. Examples include the Financial Markets Quality Conference by Georgetown's Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy (scheduled for September 25, 2025, focusing on technology and transformation), the SEC's Conference on Financial Market Regulation (May 15-16, 2025), and the SIFMA Annual Meeting (October 21, 2025). However, the Atlanta Fed's conference is a widely recognized event specifically titled "Financial Markets Conference."
