Ludovic Suttor-Sorel

Former employee of Finance Watch

As Senior Research and Advocacy officer, Ludovic worked on public finance, development finance, sustainable finance, natural capital and the nexus between biodiversity and finance.

As a researcher in applied economics, Ludovic worked on public finance, environmental policy, public incentives and developed a keen interest in industrial policy. His interest in financial and banking regulation deepened while working for a Belgian senator on the Belgian Structural Banking Reform. He was also political advisor for the top management of a Belgian welfare institution.

At Finance Watch, Ludovic worked on public finance, primarily concerning the European economic governance review, and in development finance. Prior to this, Ludovic worked on sustainable finance, with a particular focus on biodiversity and natural capital. He was a member of the European Commission’s Technical Expert Group on Sustainable Finance (TEG) involved in the creation of the EU Taxonomy for sustainable activities.

Ludovic holds a B.A. in Political Sciences and an M.A. in European Studies from the Institute for European Studies of the Free University of Brussels (ULB). During his academic journey, he actively organised and moderated public debates and conferences
