Reforming the global and European financial sectors – have the lessons of the last crisis been correctly learned?

Despite emerging financial reforms in the US, some European countries and internationally (Basel-3), many problems have not been solved in a satisfactory manner and many questions remain open, including: (i) how should the too-big-to-fail-problem in the financial sector be addressed? (ii) what are the potential costs of higher capital and liquidity requirements and other regulatory changes, as well as new financial sector taxation, discussed and introduced in several countries (risk of financial disintermediation and negative impact on economic growth)?; (iii) what form should the practical implementation of a macro-prudential regulation take?; (iv) what should the institutional architecture of international cooperation in the area of financial regulations and financial supervision be?: (v) how should the EU system of financial supervision be built?; (vi) what is the impact of monetary policy on financial sector risks and vice versa?
