Navigating Legal Frontiers in the EU Banking Union and Beyond

Examinations from the SRB Legal Conference 2024 (2025)
Edited by Karl-Philipp Wojcik and Tim Wittenberg
About this Book:

This book reflects the outcome of the Single Resolution Board (SRB) Legal Conference, held in Brussels on 6 June 2024. The conference brought together prominent practitioners, globally-renowned academics and high-level judges to exchange views and experiences over legal topics that are of general interest, actuality and pertinence to the European Banking Union and to the Single Resolution Mechanism in particular. Under the theme “Navigating legal frontiers in the EU Banking Union and beyond”, three panels explored the frontiers of the European resolution framework and operational frontiers stemming from national legal specificities in the European Union and beyond. The panel discussions focused on the challenges of resolution transfer tools, including the impact of digitization, the challenges arising from the use of international investment arbitration in resolution as well as the need for a global approach to bank insolvency, in particular for managing the failure of medium and small-sized banks.

The Birth of the Digital Euro
Edited by Filippo Annunziata, Christos Hadjiemmanuil, Bart Joosen
About this Book:

This book looks at the new phenomenon of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) with a focus on the launch of the Digital Euro in the European Union. It contains treatment of the subject of CBDC from various perspectives, with each of the authors formulating viewpoints regarding this new phenomenon. It also offers an insightful assessment of the legal status of a central bank digital currency, engaging in the theoretical effort of testing the legal implications of the birth of a digital complement to cash. The chapters focus on the rationale for a digital Euro, its ability to aid financial inclusion, the constitutional foundations of the CBDC, demands of a digital euro on the side of the beneficiaries of the retail payment system, and the “mechanics” of the CBDC in relation to its issuance and governance. It will be of interest to financial services, banking, financial regulation, and monetary policy researchers and scholars alongside lawyers and policymakers.
