The seminar within the framework of the Central European Competition Initiative (CECI) aims at getting more familiar with issues related to switching in banking, especially regarding current accounts and mortgage loans.

The experience will be shared on switching regime regarding current accounts and consumer protection issues. The Commission?s activity, especially the findings and the analyses of the recent Commission sector inquiry into retail banking will be also on the agenda.
The recent GVH sector inquiry on switching in retail banking and stability issues regarding mortgage competition and switching in Hungary will be presented.

The aim of the seminar is to induce lively discussion and learning. Ideas and reactions from CECI participants are always an important element of CECI events, and this time would be no different. Given the nature of the topic, this time CECI participants would share their experiences and ideas in the form of tour de table instead of longer presentations or detailed case studies.
