Financial Stability

The financial stability net has drawn renewed interest after the Global Financial Crisis, especially the cross-border dimension.  In addition to research work, I am actively involved in the policy debate both in Europe and in Africa. Please also note my different blog columns on the topic of cross-border bank supervision and, especially, on the banking union in Europe on Vox.
