Description

About the Lecture
Since the Great Financial Crisis, the development of financial regulation has been extensive. The regulatory landscape in the EU and the EU Single Rulebook have significantly contributed to this evolution. This lecture provides an overview of the EU regulatory framework and offers insight into why and how banks differ from non-financial companies. It will also examine how the proliferation of remuneration rules across various legal fields (company law, financial law and sustainable finance) challenges the overall consistency of the EU Single Rulebook. Finally, the lecture will offer an outlook on the current political agenda in the EU aimed at strengthening the simplification and the efficiency of the regulatory and supervisory framework for banks.
