Sovereign and Banking Risks: What Policies?

Bruegel, Brussels, July 5, 2016

On the 5th July 2016, Bruegel hosted a Round Table on how to deal with the sovereign and banking risk loop is at the centre of the policy and regulatory debate. There is a widespread awareness that excessive exposures of banks towards sovereigns and vice-versa may be a source of systemic risk, under-rated by the current regulation.

At the same time, it is not clear how far limiting these exposures may in fact enhance or rather jeopardise global stability, especially given the still very slow pace of the recovery. There is also a widespread debate on the best policy measures to tackle this issue.

This event, organised to coincide with the launch of the issue 2016.1 of European Economy – Banks, Regulation, and the Real Sector discussed the key ingredients of this debate and the main policy options.
