In the wake of the financial crisis, new regulatory measures were introduced which, along with changes in monetary and macroeconomic policy, have transformed the global financial structure. However, this new financial structure displays various fragilities. A new shadow banking system has grown both inside and outside the traditional banks and the divergence between core and periphery countries’ banks has increased further due to both the new regulations and the European Central Bank’s very peculiar interventions.Following Minsky’s approach, this volume explores the interplay between monetary policy, regulation and institutions in the aftermath of the great financial crisis. Minsky’s insights are used to interpret the recent regulatory changes and consider how they have affected the evolution of banks and financial markets. The unfortunate conclusion is that the changes in financial regulation introduced in various jurisdictions and inspired by the work of the Basel Committee, have not succeeded in thwarting the instability of the economic system. Instead, the mix of policies implemented so far has brought about increased fragility in the financial system. Minksy’s work on financial stability offers alternative solutions which policy-makers need to consider to resolve these issues.Financial Regulation in the European Union After the Crisis is an important volume for those who study political economy, banking and monetary economics.

This book sheds light on the incoming challenges facing the European Central Bank (ECB) through a post-Keynesian lens. With contributions from expert global scholars and practitioners, it provides novel perspectives on the monetary and financial theory underlying the conduct of the ECB.Divided into three main parts, chapters cover the theoretical foundations of central banking theory, the threats of climate change and its impact on monetary policy, and the roles of public banks and the interbank market. They critically analyze the ECB’s focus on price stability as well as its inflation-targeting regime, before considering whether its independence and mandate should be reviewed in light of current climate realities. The book draws on quantitative data to examine the interactions between carbon emissions, output, and green and brown systems, and concludes by evaluating the possibility of reforming the TARGET2 system to convert the ECB into an international settlement institution.Presenting cutting-edge insights and innovative solutions to the imminent challenges confronting the ECB, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of economics, political economy, and money and banking. Its investigation of current and future policy issues will also greatly benefit practitioners and policymakers in these fields.
