Introductory speech by Mr Christian Noyer, Governor of the Bank of France and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank for International Settlements, at the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel (ACP) conference, Paris, 27 June 2012.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am delighted to welcome you today to this new conference organised by the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel (ACP).
This morning, the conference will be dedicated to the impact and
stakes of the Basel III reform and, this afternoon, to the supervision of business practices in banking and insurance.
I would like to thank all the participants for the interest they have
shown in these crucial exchanges between regulators, supervisors and market participants.
This conference is being held against the backdrop of an economic and financial environment that remains very difficult, characterised in particular in Europe by the ongoing sovereign debt crisis.
Many questions surround the future of the European banking system,
which has already undergone major transformations in the recent period while significant changes in its prudential framework and the organisation of its supervision are currently being reviewed.
Far from putting on the back burner questions concerning Basel III and its application in Europe, that is to say CRD IV and its project to create a “single rule book” for European banks, I believe, on the contrary, these developments underscore the importance of better understanding the current reform and taking time to reflect, in order to ensure that
the new framework for banking regulation and the distribution of supervisory responsibilities in Europe will deliver all their expected benefits.
Before leaving you to discuss in greater detail the impact and stakes of the Basel III reform, I would like to make a few remarks on this topic in relation to the current environment.
