Gastbeitrag von Jens Weidmann in der Financial Times

Bundesbank Executive Board member Joachim Wuermeling sees digital financial and money functions pursued by initiatives ranging from clouds to Libra as a major challenge facing European banking supervisors. At an event in Frankfurt, Wuermeling stated that “if risk-relevant links in the financial value chain evade supervision, for credit institutions, it’s a matter of a level playing field, but for us as supervisors it’s a question of financial stability.”

In a speech on 5 April 2016 Christine Lagarde called for a "three-pronged approach" to secure durable growth, with coordinated efforts in the areas of structural reforms as well as in fiscal and monetary policy.
