European Commission: Green Paper On Shadow Banking – Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is shadow banking?
Shadow banking is the system of credit intermediation that involves entities and activities that are outside the regular banking system, and thus are not regulated like banks.
"Shadow banking" entities operate outside the regular banking system, and yet engage in the following bank-like activities:
-
accepting funding with deposit-like characteristics;
-
performing maturity and/or liquidity transformation;
-
undergoing credit risk transfer; and
-
using direct or indirect financial leverage.

Algirdas Šemeta EU Commissioner For Taxation, Customs Union, Anti-Fraud, Audit And Statistics "Financial Transactions Tax: The Way Ahead" Meeting Of Members Of The Finance and Fiscal Committees In The Danish Parliament Copenhagen, 19 March 2012
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to thank the Danish Parliament for inviting me to this conference and giving me the opportunity to address such a distinguish audience.
The European Commission places great value on strong relations with National Parliaments, as well as with the European Parliament. It is through such relations that we can engage with citizens via their elected representatives. This not only enables us to better understand and respond to citizens' legitimate expectations. It also helps citizens to have a clearer view of what we are doing for them at EU-level. Never has it been more important to reinforce the connection between the EU and its citizens, and to explain clearly our proposals and decisions.

European Commission: Taking Action On Shadow Banking: Avoiding New Sources Of Risk In The Financial Sector
So that the EU learns all the lessons from the crisis, it is implementing ambitious regulatory reforms in the financial sector in general and in the banking sector in particular. This will contribute to creating a stronger and sounder financial sector at the service of the real economy. As part of these reforms, it is now time to deal with the growing area of non-bank credit activity, or so-called "shadow banking", which has so far not been a prime focus of prudential regulation and supervision. To a certain extent, shadow banking performs important functions in the financial system. For example it creates additional sources of funding and offers investors alternatives to bank deposits. But it can also pose potential threats to long-term financial stability because unknown sources of risk accumulate in the financial sector and there are potential spill-over effects from the shadow banking sector to the regular banking sector.
