New Regulatory Frameworks Proposed
The European Commission released a communication in mid-July addressing the competitive standing of European banks within global wholesale markets. The report highlights that European financial institutions struggle to compete with large United States counterparts.
Key Takeaways
- European banks face significant challenges in international wholesale markets.
- The Commission attributes this lack of competitiveness to excessive fragmentation across the bloc.
- Regulatory frameworks are described as overly complex and lacking sufficient proportionality.
- Officials suggest these structural issues hinder the sector’s ability to scale effectively.
