Objectives of the session
The essence of banking lies in assessing, balancing, and managing risks and benefits. As different types of risk/reward are needed to satisfy different types of customer needs, there is place for different types of banks. A business model can be seen as the sum of the systems, mechanisms and methods through which a bank generates earnings and satisfies its stakeholders in a way that ensures it continues its business.
The session will first discuss the main parameters making the business models specific appropriate and how to assess the level of profitability according to the different business models.
Then speakers will be invited to express their views on the actual impacts of EU regulation and supervision on the different banking models and the necessary improvements in the EU prudential legislation and supervisory practices to better take into account the business models diversity. The discussion will also focus on how to ensure over time that the diversity of business models remains sufficient to contribute to financial stability in Europe.
