More Financial Regulation Quotes

That's the problem with the financial sector. Banks and the financial sector live in the short run, not the long run.

The banks, because of mismanagement, because of huge risk taking, are now in very vulnerable positions. We can expect that we're gonna have to do more to shore up the financial system.

But in the financial markets, without proper institutional rules, there's the law of the jungle - because there's greed! There's nothing wrong with greed, per se.

And second, b prudential regulation and supervision to avoid certain excesses. — Nouriel Roubini

The securitisation of mortgages added a new dimension of systemic risk.
