Are Banks Finally Resolvable? A Perspective from Europe
评估了全球金融危机后欧洲银行破产新规的效果,发现这些措施降低了救助预期并恢复了市场纪律,但欧洲银行仍远未实现真正的可破产性。
Abstract After the global financial crisis, policymakers in many countries promised that banks should never again be bailed out using taxpayers’ money. Therefore, new regulatory measures were introduced, most importantly new bank resolution regimes like the Single Resolution Mechanism in the euro area. This paper shows that these measures contributed to a reduction in bail‐out expectations and a return of market discipline in Europe. But European banks are still far from being truly resolvable. More remains to be done.
