Banks “Too Big to Fail”

Dimitris N. Chorafas

Chapter 1 in Banks, Bankers, and Bankruptcies under Crisis, 2014, pp 1-22 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract According to the Bank for International Settlements, “Institutions that are too big to fail—those that created intolerable systemic risk by themselves, because others are exposed to them —pose a significant challenge.”1 Moreover, “Mergers and acquisitions that have formed a part of the crisis response … may have increased the number of such institutions … [and officials realize that big size] creates an unsustainable structure.”2
