Banks, insurers, asset managers, investment firms and related service providers need to be well informed of the priorities in the public domain, among policymakers and regulators, and politics and society at large. They need to make sure that the political and regulatory decision-making process will get the right, and timely, input from the industry to make sure that their interests are properly considered. twp Berlin is assisting these companies in the necessary Advocacy.
