Bank of France Financial Stability Review: the future of financial regulation


Reforming the way finance is regulated involves some trade-offs like increasing the resilience of financial systems and ensuring they remain responsive to risks. 

Reforming the way finance is regulated involves some trade-offs. One is between increasing the resilience of financial systems and ensuring they remain responsive to risks. In other words, we have to clarify our appetite for risk. Another trade-off is between financial competition and innovation, on the one hand, and standardisation and regulatory homogeneity, on the other hand. This means that we need to have a view on the degree of diversity in the financial industry that is optimal for financial stability.

 
The Bank of France presents a series of Articles on the future of financial regulation. The issues are all related to post-crisis regulation and are written by prominent authors from the financial sector including Christian Noyer, Claudio Borio, Jaime Caruana and others.
