Keynote Speech At The Europlace Financial Forum - Speech By Peter Praet, Member Of The Executive Board Of The ECB, Europlace Financial Forum, Paris, 9 July 2014

Date 09/07/2014

Introduction [1]

• Over the past seven years, the financial system has been severely shaken, in particular one of its major components: the banking system.
• The adjustment process is well-advanced, as witnessed by higher liquidity and capital buffers; better crisis management institutions.
• The finalisation of the ECB comprehensive assessment will be a key milestone in the near term.
• But this will not be the end of the road: looking ahead, we also need to build a financial landscape that is more diversified, more capital market-based for all segments of financial products. It is with this perspective that the ECB has singled out securitisation as one priority; but there are others, such as venture capital.
• A note of caution however: the financial system cannot contribute to growth if the underlying fundamentals are not sound.
