Photo by blogs.reuters.com
The current crisis has exposed the poor organisation of financial supervisory responsibilities, as central banks, EU ministers, and treasury authorities fought to respond appropriately.

Now is the time to start thinking about how to reduce the risk of finding ourselves in the same situation in the future. Many troubled ...

This paper outlines two major regulatory initiatives that are expected to have a substantial impact on the European banking industry and the supply and demand of financial services throughout the European Union.

The second regulatory development to be discussed in this paper relates ...

The dominant theme of the 2,300-page Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is fear of instability and change, which the act suppresses by subjecting the largest financial firms to banklike regulation. The competitiveness, innovativeness, and risk taking that have always characterized U.S. financial firms will, under this new structure, inevitably be subordinated to supervisory judgments about what these firms can safely be allowed to do. But the worst element of this system is that the extraordinary power given to regulators--and particularly the Federal Reserve--is likely to change the nature of the U.S. ...

LONDON – The European Union is hoping the financial overhaul moving through Congress will converge with EU calls for more regulation to fix the failures that led to the 2008 banking and credit crisis. The U.S. overhaul is being welcomed by EU leaders from French President Nicolas Sarkozy to British Prime Gordon Brown, who have long argued for the need to reign in the financial system — but trans-Atlantic accord starts to falter however when leaders move from broad goal-setting to implementation and details.
