An Alternative Design Framework for International Coordination of Banking and Financial Supervision
Abstract
Europe is in search of an optimal organization that will enable the efficiency of the surveillance of the banking and financial services industry by reforming the European Banking and Financial System. The purpose of this paper is to analyse some of the important issues concerning the prudential supervision of banks and financial institutions in the European Union and to discuss related concerns about regulation both at the European and international levels. We suggest that prudential rules and institutional arrangements could be further harmonized between Member States to limit the frequency and extent of individual bank or financial institution failures as well as those of systemic crises. Our results underline that the harmonization of rules, procedures, and institutional infrastructures of Member States and the implementation of a new institutional organization of coordination both at European and international levels could engender an increase in the quality of information exchanges between all actors.
