The purpose of this seminar is to look at the difficulties and achievements of the European financial regulation in a post financial crisis environment dominated by the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. Complex, hybrid and sometimes difficult to implement, it has become an important undertaking by the European authorities, becoming explosive.
Through a series of themes, we will use specific situations that will illustrate the topics, but also provide stimulating avenues of reflection on the future of banking and finance in Europe. The kaleidoscopic nature of Europe and European financial services provides with a unique laboratory for regulatory challenges.
Each session will include:
- The evolution of the regulation
- A specific case study to identify the application of this new regulation
- Readings focused on the evolution of this regulatory landscape and the debate between the US and Europe on those issues
This is a matter in flux: there is very little academic literature, let alone books, which cover the current status of these issues. Law firms analysis are also a precious source of information. There will therefore be a need to include current analysis, statements and issues in discussion. To those readings, a set of "new development" readings will be indicated a month before each session.
The objective is a deeper understanding of the elements of the regulatory landscape in Europe, but also the issues that these evolutions arise among the various stakeholders. In most cases, I will be able to invite a key player in some of these fields.
