Central european covered bond conferences

The annual conference focuses on questions of fundamental importance for all Covered Bond systems.

In 1997, the Polish Mortgage Federation initiated an exchange of views about Covered Bond Legislation in order to foster a transfer of know-how both from the west to the east and within the CEE countries. This has developed into a series of conferences, where questions of fundamental importance for all Covered Bond systems are discussed. The materials for the individual conferences are available here.
