There has been intense debate in the UK over the European single currency, but the ratio of light to heat has been disappointingly low. Discussion has centered on whether or not the UK should join monetary union; barely any attention has been paid to the crucial issues of how economic policy must change if the UK is to participate, or how policy must adapt if the UK stays outside. And there has been little analysis of how the date of entry would be affected by the time it takes for policy changes to be implemented and take effect. This report of an independent panel, chaired

Five years ago, the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) produced a report on THE FUTURE OF EUROPEAN BANKING in which it concluded that European Union (EU) financial markets are fundamentally segmented. Much has happened since then. The euro has been firmly established in several Member States; stock markets have been through a boom and bust; and a number of Eastern European countries have joined the EU. Perhaps most significantly of all, the European Union has launched its Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP). The goal of the FSAP is to create a single integrated market in financial se

The European banking industry is in a state of turmoil. The pace of mergers and acquisitions has accelerated across different banking sectors and within the same sector. At the same time, the demise of banks already in trouble has accelerated. This report analyzes what lies behind the historic segmentation of EU financial markets because a clear view about these issues is needed to predict the changes that EMU will bring about. The authors examine the policy implications of these changes and propose measures to address the problems that may be encountered.

Europe had a new central bank in 2002. It must develop its version of accountability and public debate over monetary policies. It is natural for CEPR, as a network of policy-oriented academic economists, to contribute to the establishment of a new tradition. This series brings together a group of economists internationally known for their work on macroeconomics and montetary policy. It is intended to monitor the European economy and the work of the ECB. Its analyses will be presented to the public, including the European Parliament and the media. A full MECB report is published each year, comp
