What reforms are needed to improve the safety and soundness of the banking system?

Harvey Rosenblum

Economic Review, 2007, issue Q1-2, pages 101-113

Abstract: To further improve bank safety and soundness in the years ahead, the author makes two recommendations: that banks be examined and rated specifically on their organizational complexity and that systemically important banks that are too big to resolve quickly be recapitalized according to a model that is known in advance by their competitors and by the general public.
