After the crisis comes wrenching change

These are tumultuous times for Europe’s banking industry and financial markets. The financial crisis that erupted in 2008 has rarely been out of the headlines since.

Yet this has not been a period solely of upheaval and crisis management. It has also been a time of reform. It has featured rigorous self-examination by the banks themselves, tough scrutiny by government authorities and politicians and interest groups of many stripes and, above all, a widespread determination to ensure that a crisis of these dimensions should never be allowed to recur.
