  • 10. Consolidation of the European Banking Industry: Obstacles and Policies
    10. CONSOLIDATION OF THE EUROPEAN BANKING INDUSTRY: OBSTACLES AND POLICIES Martin Boer and Andrés Portilla, Institute of International Finance (IIF)1 10.1. ABSTRACT Consolidation of the European banking industry can lead to stronger and more resil- ient banks, and can also boost profitability due to greater economies of scale. However, while the business case for consolidation is clear, there are a number of significant ob- stacles preventing mergers and acquisitions. The obstacles arise from various economic, political, regulatory and cultural factors, or are related to the business environment in which European banks currently operate. Global and regional geopolitical uncertainty and rapid and profound changes in the global banking industry’s outlook due to innova- tion and technological change add to these challenges. This chapter reviews the current European banking landscape, considers the various obstacles to consolidation and dis- cusses policy recommendations aimed at strengthening the European banking system to achieve a healthier, more stable and more profitable future. Keywords: Bank consolidation; EU Banking Union; EDIS; Banking regulation; Cross-border banking. 1 Martin Boer is Director (Regulatory Affairs) and Andrés Portilla is Managing Director (Reg- ulatory Affairs) at the Institute of International Finance (IIF) in Washington, D.C. The views ex- pressed in this article are those exclusively of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the IIF. With thanks for the invaluable research assistance to Kristina Haberson of the Vienna University of Economics and Business. 263 THE EURO IN 2020 10.2.

It is published twice annually (Part I and Part II), by the Fondazione Gerardo Capriglione Onlus (an organization aimed to promote and develop the research activity on fi- nancial regulation) in association with Queen Mary University of London.

  • The European Central Bank's Pandemic Bazooka
    THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK’S PANDEMIC BAZOOKA: MANDATE FULFILMENT IN EXTRAORDINARY TIMES René Smits Manuscript accepted for publication as Chapter 22 in: Dolores Utrilla and Anjum Shabbir (eds), EU Law in Times of Pandemic. The EU’s Legal Response to the COVID-19 Crisis, EU Law Live Press, 2021. 1. Introduction1 The year 2020 has become the first in a hundred years when a pandemic broke out that both affected the world and effected a severe downturn in economic activity across the globe. Earlier outbreaks of deadly ultra-contagious diseases have been kept within a region of origin – the havoc and misery created by Ebola was certainly no less than what we have seen since the eruption of a world-wide pandemic of the COVID-19 virus (‘coronavirus’). Less than 20 years after Ebola brought distress to people in West Africa,2 humanity faced a pandemic on global scale. After the outbreak of the disease in Wuhan (China), it spread globally, affecting first thousands, then millions of people whose lives were turned upside-down as they were asked, or compelled, to respect ‘social distancing’ to prevent contagion, stay at home, work at a distance, and self-isolate or go into quarantine. The social and economic effects of the pandemic have been huge. Allow this sociologist cum lawyer to begin with the social disruption before focusing on the legal issues of the European Central Bank (ECB)’s response. Suddenly, values were resurfacing that, in the ‘normal’ economic life of many, had not figured prominently: family life; the environment and Planet Earth3; recognition of the vital roles of cleaners, teachers, health workers and other indispensable people for a society to conduct its business – their social status and earnings dismal compared to those of entrepreneurs, innovators and managers; the possibilities of working remotely from one’s ‘home office’ for those whose jobs allow them to do so.

    Framework Cooperation Arrangement Framework Cooperation Arrangement between the European Banking Authority ('EBA') and the Board of Governors ofthe Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office ofthe Comptroller ofthe Currency, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the New York State Department of Financial Services (collectively, 'U.S. Authorities,' and, together with the EBA, 'the Parties') (1) The global financial markets involve financial institutions and groups that operate across borders, with many institutions operating both within two or more Member States of the European Union (the 'EU') and in the United States of America (the 'U.S.'). (2) Under the domestic legal frameworks of the Parties' respective jurisdictions, supervisory and resolution authorities possess various crisis management tools and powers that can be employed to address circumstances in which a financial institution or group encounters serious financial difficulties. (3) In order to ensure the effectiveness of crisis management actions in relation to internationally active financial institutions or groups, work is underway-including under the auspices of the 020 through the· work of the Financial Stability Board ('FSB')-to ensure that supervisory and resolution authorities have the capacity to share information and cooperate in the cross-border application ofcrisis management tools and powers. (4) Recent developments within the EU make it timely and appropriate to set out a high-level framework for cooperation that is consistent with internationally agreed principles. (5) With a view to promoting the uniform development of cross-border crisis management information sharing and cooperation arrangements, Directive 2014/59/EU on Bank Framework Cooperation Arrangement Recovery and Resolution ('BRRD') 1 empowers the EBA to conclude framework cooperation arrangements with non-EU supervisory and resolution authorities of jurisdictions where internationally active financial institutions or groups carry out part of their activities.

  • Public Hearing with Andrea Enria, Chair of the ECB Supervisory Board ECON on 27 October 2020
    BRIEFING Public hearing with Andrea Enria, Chair of the ECB Supervisory Board ECON on 27 October 2020 This note is prepared in view of a regular public hearing with the Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank (ECB), Andrea Enria, which will take place on 27 October 2020. The briefing addresses (i) recent supervisory measures in response to the COVID-19 crisis, including an overview of the ECB’s COVID-19 vulnerability analysis and a discussion on the effectiveness of certain capital relief measures; (ii) the SSM’s response to the European Parliament’s 2019 Banking Union Report; (iii) short-term risks for the banking sector (low profitability, NPLs and Brexit); (iv) longer-term challenges, including consolidation in the banking sector and completing the Banking Union; and (v) supervisory issues, namely anti-money laundering and addressing cyber and IT risks. 1. COVID-19 and recent supervisory measures Supervisory measures In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the ECB Banking Supervisor has adopted a number of measures, aimed at ensuring that banks can continue to support the economy and fulfil their role to fund households and corporates: Providing capital relief: In March 2020, the ECB announced that it would allow banks to operate temporarily below the level of capital defined by the Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G), the capital conservation buffer (CCB) and the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR). Banks were also be allowed to partially use capital instruments that do not qualify as Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital, to meet the Pillar 2 Requirements (P2R). In a press statement, the ECB clarified the expected pace for banks to restore capital and liquidity positions, allowing banks to operate below the P2G and the combined buffer requirement until at least end-2022, and below the LCR until at least end-2021, without automatically triggering supervisory actions.
