Regulation
The European financial sector today faces growing challenges related to regulation, compliance and taxation.
In an environment of continuous regulatory change, banking institutions must adapt quickly to ensure full compliance, while facing a significant increase in compliance costs.
The completion of the Banking Union, of the Single Capital Market and the Savings and Investment Uniontogether with the development of the EU Securitisation Marketrepresent key steps to strengthen the resilience and integration of the financial system.
However, the lack of a harmonised framework for bank taxation at European level constitutes a further element of complexity for competitive equality between operators.
Against this challenging backdrop, banks continue to play a central role in the real economy, providing essential services such as consumer credit, corporate credit, investment and asset management services and the management of payment systems, thus ensuring support for growth and stability in the European market.
