The SPE Annual Dinner will be held on Monday 25 November at the Institute of Directors. The evening will commence with a Drinks Reception at 6.30pm followed by a sit-down dinner at 7.00pm.

We are honoured and delighted that this year’s guest speaker will be Gabriel Makhlouf, ECB Governing Council member and Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland.

Gabriel Makhlouf took up his position as Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland on 1 September 2019. He chairs the Central Bank Commission, is a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank, a member of the European Systemic Risk Board, and is Ireland’s Alternate Governor at the International Monetary Fund. As Governor, Gabriel leads an organisation that is responsible for monetary and financial stability, prudential regulation and financial conduct.  Before joining the Central Bank, he was Secretary to the New Zealand Treasury from 2011 to 2019.  During his time as Secretary, he led reviews of New Zealand’s three macroeconomic pillars (monetary, financial stability and fiscal policy) and the development of a new framework for economic and public policy focused on intergenerational wellbeing (and including the concept of social, natural, human and financial/physical capitals). 

Generously sponsored by Oxford Economics the Annual Dinner is an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new contacts, and of course to entertain clients.
