Overview
With the international financial crisis of 2007-09, a new era for thinking about financial regulation emerged that transformed our understanding of risk-management and financial stability. The subsequent Eurozone crisis reinforced the view that the European financial system remains vulnerable if the single market is being governed by heterogeneous regulatory requirement.
We hosted our 3rd annual conference jointly with CIGI in Rome on 21st November 2016, with a gathering of senior representatives from across the public policy sector and financial institutions from the major European markets. This year’s conference we advanced our understanding of how well the new EU regulatory efforts contributed to a stable and sustained growth in Europe.
Below is the conference report co-written by Oliver Wyman and CIGI and reflects the views of the three co-authors. The report evaluates the progress made on strengthening the regulation and architecture of the European financial system, and considers areas where further enhancements are needed.
