Abstract

The chapter investigates the interactions between bank regulation and governance and evaluates the ongoing inclusion of governance elements in the EU regulatory framework. The chapter outlines the basic functions and elements of bank governance and analyses whether bank governance is a substitute for or complement of banking regulation within the frameworks of the agency theory and regulatory dialectics theory. It also discusses the EU regulatory acts concerning corporate governance in banks and aims at assessing the inclusion of bank governance elements concerning the board of directors, shareholders’ rights, remuneration policies and transparency requirements in the EU regulatory framework in terms of their impact on banking sector stability.
