Conference BdF – ACPR « Financial Regulation – Stability versus Uniformity A focus on non-bank actors »

Partager

The Banque de France and the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) organised in Paris on September, 28 2015 a joint international conference on the financial regulation of non-banks (i.e. insurance companies, asset managers and financial market infrastructures). The event gathered central bankers, international regulators and supervisors, top level academics and representatives from the financial industry. After Governor Noyer’s introductory statement, Jean Tirole, the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, delivered a keynote speech on the risks associated with the development of the shadow banking sector and the challenges of regulating its activities. The speakers discussed the latest regulatory developments carried out since the global financial crisis by the Financial Stability Board to prevent systemic risk, first in the banking sector, and their extension to the rest of the financial system. The debates focused in particular on capital requirements, the identification of systemic institutions and activities, and the issues raised by the orderly resolution of financial institutions and financial infrastructures.
