Abstract

This Handbook offers a broad overview of key issues in European banking, taking stock after the recent crises and looking forward. The European banking landscape has profoundly changed since the mid-2000s, partly driven by the regulatory response to the 2007–8 global financial crisis and subsequent sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone. The Handbook is composed of five main parts. Part I, European Banking: Through the Crisis and Beyond; Part II, Performance and Innovation in European Banking; Part III, Financial Stability and Regulation; Part IV, Cross-Border Banking; and Part V, European Banking Systems.
