1 The Next Wave of Bank and Insurance Regulation Financial Services Commission April 27, 2015

2 The next wave of financial regulation? “We are in many ways in the second phase of the financial crisis. The first phase was a prudential one, while the second phase has revealed past misconduct….. Standards of governance, conduct, and the right incentive structures are extremely important [to fix the financial system].” – Andrew Bailey, CEO PRA 2Courtesy Ernst & Young LLP

3 Wave 1: Prudential re-regulation In the immediate aftermath of the GFC, regulators focussed on improving banks’ financial condition, and reducing risk in the system: a)Making banks less likely to fail b)Making banks “safe to fail” 3Courtesy Ernst & Young LLP

4 1(a)Making banks less likely to fail Tougher regulation has strengthened banks, making them less vulnerable to shocks: – Increased capital; improved quality of capital – Strengthened stress testing – Increased liquidity – Reduced leverage – Improved risk management and governance 4Courtesy Ernst & Young LLP

5 1(b)Making banks ‘safe to fail’ UK, European and US regulators have moved to strengthen local bank operations, thereby reducing the exposure from foreign operations. – Vickers, Liikanen reports; Volker, BIHC rules Resolution planning – leading to the ‘subsidiarization’ of global banks Banks are reorganizing to satisfy local regulators – Rationalization of group structures – Less foreign branch banking – Stronger local subsidiaries (capital, liquidity, local bail-in) – Stronger local oversight – Local BCPs, etc This risks trapping capital, liquidity, leverage in foreign subsidiaries 5Courtesy Ernst & Young LLP

7 Wave 2: Culture and Conduct “The succession of scandals means it simply untenable now to argue that the problem is one of a few bad apples. The issue is with the barrels in which they are stored.” – Mark Carney, Governor Bank of England 7Courtesy Ernst & Young LLP

8 Risk culture and conduct Rules and supervision have not been effective in controlling behavior – Conduct regulators have become much more active ($270 bn) – Political support for punishing banks is strong Many banks have implemented risk culture assessment programs – Often driven by adverse experience – Change takes time and a lot of organizational focus The stakes are high – Confidence in the system is low – Regulators are much less likely to give banks the benefit of the doubt, or the time required to address cultural issues 8Courtesy Ernst & Young LLP
