This first volume opens a two-part series dedicated to a central theme: the resilience of the banking and financial system in the face of “extreme risks”, ten years after the establishment of the Single Supervisory Mechanism.
Bringing together leading academics and practitioners, this issue offers a series of in-depth contributions exploring how financial systems absorb, anticipate, and adapt to systemic shocks in an increasingly complex regulatory and geopolitical environment. The reflections presented highlight both structural vulnerabilities and emerging tools for strengthening financial stability within the Banking Union framework.
AEDBF Europe warmly thanks all contributors to this first volume: Jean-Pierre Mattout, Bernard Cazeneuve, Astrid Mignon Colombet, Lorenzo Bini Smaghi, Estela Mihai, Dragos Manescu, and Matteo Arrigoni, whose work provides valuable analytical depth to this collective endeavour.
Special thanks are also extended to the RISF editorial team for their continued support, as well as to Bertrand Bréhier and Filippos Siozos for coordinating the preparation of this issue.
A second volume, already in preparation, will further develop key dimensions of the Banking Union and extend the analysis to additional emerging and recurring “extreme risks”.
