REDRAWING THE BANKING SOCIAL CONTRACT

"It is not often a central banker can speak openly about bank failures. Indeed, most of the time, central bankers avoid public remarks on issues like Too Big To Fail; Emergency Liquidity Assistance; flaws in insolvency regimes; burden sharing between national authorities, and so on. But surrounded as we are by failed banks, it is not only possible to talk about bank failures without scaring the horses; it would be irresponsible not to do so. And as central bankers and regulators free themselves from that mental straight jacket, new and perhaps far reaching ideas are emerging."
