What is the future of banking and money? The road passes through
data and digitalization at all levels of activity, from personal
banking through publicly and privately issued digital currencies.
But who is winning and losing ground in the banking sector? Do we
really need central bank digital currencies and how should they and
private digital currencies be designed and regulated to yield the
maximum benefits while reducing the obvious dangers? How should we
regulate the new digital technologies? This book brings you the
answers of senior public sector offi cials, industry leaders and
leading academics. It is the tenth title in the Institute for Law
and Finance's series on the future of the financial sector.
Why does the third leg of the European Banking Union, EDIS, remain
mired in controversy? This book presents the views of senior
representatives of the public and private sectors and academia on
why EDIS is either necessary, counter-productive or even dangerous.
No viewpoint has been excluded and the full range of issues
involved is covered, including the impact on financial stability
and on consolidation of the financial sector in Europe, progress on
reducing NPLs, the feasibility of developing "safe bonds" and
other, more practical solutions to the "doom loop" and the actual
design of EDIS.
On December 7, 2017, final agreement was reached on the
long-awaited revised bank capital rules known as Basel III. This
volume presents the findings of day long symposium hosted by the

explaining what has actually been accomplished, what has been left
out and what it all means for financial institutions, investors and
the public interest.

given on November 23, 2015 at a conference hosted by the Institute
for Law and Finance entitled "Towards a New Age of Responsibility
in Banking and Finance: Getting the Culture and the Ethics Right"

to discuss the importance of culture and ethics in restoring public
trust in financial institutions.
The books deals with the questions that really matter for green
finance: Where will the money to finance the transition to a low
carbon environment come from, how far do the banks' balance sheets
stretch and where will the rest of the money come from? How much
can we rely on the capital markets, especially in the EU, to get
money to the parts of the economy which really need it, without
greenwashing? How do governments organize not just a transition,
but a just transition to a low carbon environment? Is it time to
revisit received ideas about the proper role for central banks?
In March 2015, the Institute for Law and Finance in Frankfurt am
Main held a full-day symposium which brought together leading
representatives of the public and private sectors to deliver the
first high level response to the questions posed by the
Commission's Green Paper on Building a Capital Markets Union. These
responses are collected in this volume.
The volume contains articles based on presentations given at a
conference hosted by the Institute for Law and Finance of Goethe
University on October 27, 2011. Collective action clauses are an
example of the typical dichotomy of financial regulation: While the
problems are economic in nature, the solutions need to be
implemented by law. The Institute for Law and Finance strives to
bring together law and finance in order to foster a better mutual
understanding of both disciplines and to improve the regulation of
financial markets. Thus, the organizers are particularly pleased
that eminent experts from the fields of law and finance agreed to
participate in the event and to share their views on and
experiences with collective action clauses. The presentations given
at the conference have been updated in 2012 to reflect recent
developments.

To Fail - Do we need a special insolvency law for banks? (5

Restructuring Act. In addition to addressing the topics: the
reasons for and instruments of bank insolvency proceedings, part of
this book is dedicated to examining the protection of creditors.
