Euro zone bank regulators should consider tweaking a raft of rules, from how much cash banks should hold to how failing institutions are resolved, in order to protect the financial system, two leading European Central Bank policymakers said.
The 20-nation currency bloc's lenders fared well in last month's banking turmoil but some risks were exposed and the rapid drop in share prices raised questions about their ability to withstand a larger crisis.
A key worry is that, given the oversized impact of social media on consumer behaviour, deposit movements may become more rapid than regulators envisaged, questioning whether liquidity and resolution rules remain adequate. "And so, should LCR be calibrated differently? And/or do we need to better stress test it?" Knot added.
"The other priority, on the other end of the spectrum, is to shift from resolution 'for the few' – really for the too few: two cases in the last 9 years – to resolution 'for the many', including small and medium-sized banks," Villeroy added.
