EU Banking Law and Regulation

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of European banking law and regulation, and provides a critical account of the emerging supranational framework of EU banking policy

ESG, Brexit, and the rise of Fintech are just a few of the recent factors driving challenges in scope, tasks, and requirements for European banks. As a result, European banks are now being regulated differently, and a new institutional and substantive supranational framework in EU law and policy has been establishedAgainst this backdrop, EU Banking Law and Regulation provides a comprehensive, critical, and contextual account of a new supranational framework. The book reveals this burgeoning field by addressing it through various lenses: (i) institutionally, through the development of supranational governance arrangements such as the set-up of European frameworks for regulation, supervision, and restructuring of credit institutions, in particular the SSM and SRM; (ii) substantially, with the creation of the Single Rulebook for banks, and (iii) theoretically, as this framework situates European banking policy as a substantive EU policy within European integration and harmonisation. Drawing on hard and soft law in EU banking regulation, judgments of the European Court of Justice, and recent EU regulatory reforms in the field, the book covers supranational banking regulations and its resulting financial and economic impact. Situated at the intersection between EU law and financial law, EU Banking Law and Regulation provides tools for the interpretation on norms, procedures, and measures adopted by EU regulators and supervisory authorities, informed by the author''s extensive practical experience and academic background.
