Regulatory body Bafin signals potential for escalating setbacks ahead - Regulatory Body Warns of Potential Continuation of Delays
Here's the skinny: The financial markets are still in choppy waters, according to the gurus at BaFin – Germany's financial regulator. Mark Branson, the big boss over at BaFin, straight up warns that we could be in for more turbulence ahead, especially in areas that might have a system-wide impact. The uncertainty is still off the charts.
Let's not rule out the possibility that problems brewing in the non-bank sector could spill over into the banking world. You see, with interest rates dipping and the odds of companies defaulting skyrocketing, things could get messy.
Banks Needs to Keep it Cool
BaFin feels the financial sector is currently coping pretty well – thanks mainly to smart regulations. But Branson strongly advises against going hog wild with industry regulations.
From Branson's perspective, some rules from the European Banking Authority (EBA) for smaller banks are a bit too meticulous, say, the new ESG guidelines for environment, social, and governance issues. BaFin isn't keen on implementing these guidelines to the fullest extent in Germany. Rest assured, Branson says you won't save the planet by getting small banks to write lengthy reports.
