  • Peter Sands Group Chief Executive
    Peter Sands Group Chief Executive 5 June 2012 Governor Erkki Liikanen High-level Expert Group on Bank Structure By email: [email protected] EC Representative Register ID number: 16595501800-80 Dear Governor Liikanen Consultation on the structure of the EU banking sector Please find enclosed Standard Chartered‟s response to your call for evidence on bank structural reform. Our response seeks to answer the questions from your consultation and sets out our concerns about the idea of bank structural reform, especially in the current economic climate, and how this could pose a significant risk to the European banking sector. In particular we would like to highlight the following three points: a. There is no compelling case for structural reform and some strong counter- arguments. Large and universal bank structures do not necessarily equal complex and risky structures; indeed there is no empirical evidence to suggest that the existence and structure of universal banks contributed to the financial crisis. Risky business models which failed encompassed retail banks, universal banks and investment banking models. Structural reforms that create more concentrated business model and risk profiles and greater homogeneity across the sector are likely to increase systemic risks. Structural reforms organised around national or EU boundaries will encourage „financial protectionism‟ and create impediments to cross- border trade and investment. b. Proposing further structural reform will increase the stress and systemic risks in the European banking sector. There are significant risks associated with seeking to undertake a reform of the structure of the European banks, whilst economic crisis is gripping the Union and when banks are already grappling with the most significant regulatory reforms in decades.
