Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new insights on banking business models, risks and regulation proposals in the aftermath of the European financial crisis. It investigates the main issues affecting the business of banking nowadays, such as low interest rates and non-performing loans. The combined effect of low to negative interest rates and weak economic growth has encouraged banks to shift their business towards new areas less associated with interest rates, which financial markets and institutional investors are currently evaluating. Contributions also shed new light on topics not yet fully investigated by current literature, such as banks’ short selling bans after Brexit, the European Deposit Guarantee Scheme and banks’ risk appetite framework. This book will be of interest to researchers, scholars and practitioners.
