Non-US Financial System s Are More Bank- based…  Typically 7 0 -7 5 % bank-based ( in Europe) vs 2 5 -3 0 % in the US – Even more so in many large emerging economies  Com paratively underdeveloped channels – Equity financing (public and private) – Specialized credit institutions: leasing, consumer credit, etc. – Mid-sized corporate bond issuance (high-yield) – Loan securitization – Mezzanine funds and other credit funds 3

I n Europe, Special Resolution Regim es Are Often Nonexistent or Untested…  UK – Banking Act 2009  DE – Restructuring Act 2010  FR – Under discussion  IT – Consolidated Law on Finance 1998 (‘‘Draghi Law’’)  ES – Decree-Law on Bank Restructuring and Credit Institution Equity Reinforcement 2009 (FROB), modified 2011  NL – Under discussion  IE – Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) Act 2011  BE – Financial Crisis Law 2010  DK – Danish Financial Stability Act 2008  AT – n.a.  SE – Government Support to Credit Institutions Act 2008 N.B. Countries ranked by decreasing size of banking assets (ECB data) 1 1

…and “TBTF” Can Be Really “NBATFNMHS”* …  Definition of failure  US experience since 2 0 0 8 – Bear Stearns ($400bn), Fannie Mae ($880bn), Freddie Mac ($790bn), AIG ($1trn)… – but also Lehman ($691bn), WaMu ($330bn), CIT ($80bn), MF Global ($40bn)…  EU experience since 2 0 0 7 … – Starting from IKB (€50bn) in late July 2007… – Exceptions DSB Bank (€8bn), Amagerbanken (€4bn), Bradford & Bingley (£52bn – but losses only on sub debt)  …unless the sovereign is itself unable to cope – Iceland 2008, Ireland 2010, Spain 2012 – Changes ahead * No Bank Allowed To Fail, No Matter How Small 1 2

Som e Policy I m plications  Cross-border aspects less central in US – Vs Europe, smaller countries  US far ahead in special resolution regim es – Role of FSB / Basel Committee (FSB key attributes) – European “Banking Union”  Regulation of bank structure – Vickers in UK context – Next steps unclear (including in US) – No one-size-fits-all approach? 1 3
