European Banking in the 1990s

This book discusses the impact of the EC's proposals to integrate the European financial markets by 1992. The book analyzes banking in six European countries, the regulation of financial markets in Europe and European equity markets and investment banking. It considers the macro perspective and lessons that may be drawn from the current integration of interstate banking in the USA. The book also examines the problems likely to arise from the integration of capital markets in Europe, the adjustments that may be expected in specific countries and industries and whether these developments should affect the strategies of financial institutions.
