Main messages Main messages
• There is no convergence – “Maastricht” - criterion for financial sectors
• Despite - or because of ? - this, the EU-8’s financial sector has converged to that of the euro zone probably more than any other sector or policy area This has been the combined result of “top-down”legal/regulatory Europeanization and “bottom-up”Europe-affinity via privatization to EU-15 foreigners Structures and regulatory frameworks have converged rapidly but systemic risks in EU15 and EU-8 are different a main issue for euro membership

A very bumpy processA very bumpy process
Starting point: absolute state interventionEarly period: chaotic, with mixed state ownership and private banks with insider interest and still no proper regulatory frameworkSeries of bank crises resulting from past liabilities as much as poor financial market governance (bank corporate governance & regulatory framework). Costs up to 20% of GDP

A very bumpy processA very bumpy process
“Bottom up” European affinity. Privatization primarily to EU-based foreigners. Major improvements in corporate governance“Top down” Europeanization. Regulatory framework convergence as precondition for EU accessionSo how ready are financial sectors for the euro?

While in the EU15 While in the EU15 ……
The dominant structure is still the unitary board (E-8 has ‘leap-frogged?’)Regulations focus on ensuring truly independent board members and disclosure requirements (often mandatory for listed banks)

Different types of systemic risks Different types of systemic risks
Systemic risks of the financial sector can be markedly different:– Foreign ownership and Basel II/CRD: (i)
asymmetric shock transmission; (ii) CRD home-host issue; (iii) ownership concentration
– High banking sector concentration top 5 banks own almost 70% of assets on average
– High risk concentration: large exposure, forex without hedging
– Yet lack of risk mitigation/transfer– Risks inherent in any very rapid credit expansion

ConclusionsConclusions
In terms of levels, financial sectors are rapidly catching upIn terms of structures, catch-up is almost completeIn terms of financial market governance, convergence is almost completeHowever, systemic risks of the financial sector can be markedly different, which can become a problem when joining the euro.
