Session 13: Policies to Promote a Healthy Banking Sector
Previous Session | Program | Next Session
In an era of record profitability, the banking industry continues to undergo far-reaching changes associated with inter-state branching, new combinations of financial activities, and new information technologies. These changes pose a number of important regulatory challenges, including: how best to deal with "megabanks" of unprecedented size and complexity, whether combinations of banks and non-financial commercial enterprises should be permitted, and whether and how the financial services regulatory system should be revised.
