Bankenstrukturreformen und die Rolle von Banken-Holding-Konzernen

In response to the recent banking and financial crisis, legislators around the world have focused not only on numerous new regulations to improve the capital adequacy of banks, but also on the need to separate commercial and investment banking. In this context, this study analyses fundamental structural issues. It examines to which extent holding organisations are compatible with separation requirements, and therefore can contribute to addressing systemic risks within the framework of macro-prudential regulation.
