Join us at the Tea with Reason Conference
"Enhancing Capital Markets Through Sustainable Pension Reform"
on Friday, 11 April 2025, at the Grand Plaza Hotel in Ljubljana
Organised by the British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce
in cooperation with the British Business Chamber Croatia.
Slovenia's capital market is set for significant change with upcoming pension reforms, particularly in the supplementary pension insurance system (the second pillar). These reforms could boost institutional investor involvement, support long-term equity financing, and strengthen the domestic capital market. But how can these changes harness the full potential of Slovenia's capital markets and support private investment? And what lessons can be learned from successful models in other countries?
Building on the success of the British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Business Conference at the London Stock Exchange, an event that brought together top-tier executives, policymakers, and investors, this year’s follow-up in Ljubljana promises another high-level exchange of ideas. Experts from Slovenia, Croatia, and the UK will discuss practical approaches to reforming and enhancing the region’s capital markets, while drawing key lessons from the UK’s pension reform experience.
