Financial Intermediation in the New Europe

Banks, Markets and Regulation in EU Accession Countries

编辑Donat说o Masciandaro, Full Professor of Economics and Chair in Economics of Financial Regulation, Bocconi University, Italy

What role will the current evolution of banking systems play in the newly adopted EU countries during the historic challenges following enlargement? This book, a blend of economics and political economy, offers a systematic analysis of the current trends in financial intermediation in the countries of the newly enlarged Europe, with particular focus on those policies taken by foreign banks on the one hand, and by regulatory and supervisory authorities on the other.

‘. . . the collection deserves to be read by anyone with an interest in the role of the commercial banks in the financial landscape of that region. Professor Masciandaro is to be congratulated in bringing together such an informative and significant collection of essays.’

‘This is a timely and well thought out study of the European banking contest being played out in the countries of “new Europe” against the backdrop of globalisation.’
