Watch the Recording of the Conference
On the 14-15 of July, the Florence School of Banking & Finance will hold an executive seminar on banking resolution. The aim of this Chatham House seminar will be to discuss, in the presence of senior decision-makers from the European Central Bank, the European Commission, the Single Supervisory Mechanism, the European Banking Authority and the Single Resolution Board the implications for regulators and financial institutions alike of the newly established banking resolution regime. Distinguished academics and senior practitioners from financial institutions have also confirmed their participation.
This is a closed event.
Stefaan De Rynck (DG FISMA, European Commission) will present a paper on the state of banking union, covering the issues of supervision, resolution and deposit guarantees. The paper reviews competing explanations for the emergence of banking union on the EU agenda. It also discusses the first indications on the effectiveness of banking union, both for a more centralized EU banking policy and for breaking the nexus between national banks and their sovereigns in the context of Euro Area crisis management.
Mr. De Rynck is an EU official who worked with Commissioner Michel Barnier on the creation of the single supervisory mechanism and the new resolution regime for EU banks. He is currently Head of Unit in DG FISMA for free movement of capital and enforcement of financial regulation. He teaches at the Collegio Carlo Alberto (University of Turin) and the College of Europe (Bruges), and has a PhD from the EUI, and has recently published in JEPP on the creation of the banking union. Currently he is drafting a chapter on banking union for a Routledge Handbook on EU Public Policy.

Background:
The financial world is undergoing a profound technological change. The advent of innovative
technologies is unsettling the industry’s modus operandi which will soon enough disrupt the current
practices of both supervisors and central banks. Big data, block-chain and the proliferation of
distributed ledgers are only a few illustrations of a wider financial technology industry build-up –
known as FinTech – which will revolutionise the global financial infrastructure.
As a result of this, the geography of finance is evolving at a rapid pace. In this new context of digital
transformation and innovation, how should regulation respond? Is regulatory arbitrage and the
reliance on more decentralised regulatory regimes a possible solution or is the top-down central model
resilient enough to sustain these changes? Can regulators turn these new challenges into
opportunities?
Sessions:
- Session 1: The New World of FinTech
- Session 2: Regulatory Arbitrage across Jurisdictions
- Session 3: A Case Study: BREXIT

The annual conference of the Florence School of Banking and Finance, organised at the European University Institute (EUI) brings together leading economists, lawyers, political scientists and policy makers to critically analyse, review and debate the most salient elements and gaps of Europe’s post-crisis institutional architecture.
Organisers:
Franklin Allen | Brevan Howard Centre Imperial College
Elena Carletti | BAFFI CAREFIN Bocconi University and European University Institute
Mitu Gulati | Duke University
Background:
The crisis has turned Europe’s economic and financial governance into a patchwork of bodies, instruments and rules that are hard to disentangle. Against this background, the purpose of this conference is to critically analyse, review and debate the most salient elements and gaps of Europe’s post-crisis institutional architecture.
More specifically, the conference aims:- to draw analytical and practical lessons from the crisis management solutions provided by European Union institutions
- to interrogate how courts discussed, challenged and legitimized the EU’s key crisis-led decisions
- to look ahead and boldly ask and discuss what should be the Economic and Monetary Union’s optimal institutional set-up – also in light of a renewed and conceivably more dynamic French-German cooperation moment.
Sessions:
- Session 1: A Look Back: Evaluating European Institutions’ Crisis Management
- Session 2: Disentangling The Crisis And The Courts
- Session 3: The Way Forward: The Eurozone’s Institutional Prospects
Participation to this event is upon invitation only
This closed-doors, two-days Chatham House executive seminar on Financial Surveillance will (1) take stock of the state of the art in the supervision and resolution of banks and other non-bank actors in Europe; (2) will assess the market impact and developments of the recently implemented prudential and resolution rules and will (3) critically review current oversight gaps and risks and explore possible remedies. Compared to past editions which focussed on the banking sector, this executive seminar will look both at banks and non-banks realities.
The executive seminar will be held in the context of the Florence School of Banking and Finance’s 4th Advisory Council and Scientific Committee Meeting.
