At this event on 7 April 2026, Peter Conti-Brown discussed how the EU can balance competitiveness with financial stability in a world shaped by US deregulation. The deregulation policies of the Trump administration generate competitive pressures on European banks, to the extent that they compete against their US peers. But the same policies could also trigger global financial instability, which the EU should prepare for. As coauthor of a reference history of banking supervision in the United States published last year, Peter Conti-Brown is uniquely placed to shed light on such trade-offs. More broadly, what can the EU still learn from the long sequence of US bank supervisory development.
