GÎRLEA, Mihail, ȘTEFANIUC, Olga. The issue of bank security on optimizing the business model within the bank = Problematica securității bancare asupra optimizării modelului de afaceri în cadrul băncii. In: Economic security in the context of sustenable development [online]: The Collection of the International Scientific-Practical Conference, December 11, 2020, ASEM, Chișinău, Moldova. Chişinău: ASEM, 2021, pp. 164-175. ISBN 978-9975-155-01-4.
Since the inception of the financial crisis of 2007-2009, the banking sector in Europe has been undergoing fundamental changes. Following the major fallouts of large banking groups – in particular those with excessively risky business models combined with the trillions incurred in losses and subsequent taxpayerfunded government bailouts to keep the European banking sector afloat – a wave of re-regulation was undertaken to bring back eroded market confidence and to safeguard financial stability. This led to major restructuring and waves of deleveraging with fundamental implications for the future of the European banking sector and financial intermediation. While the economic crisis has triggered policy responses to stimulate lending to the real economy while assuring the stability of the banking sector that provides breathing space in the short run, deep restructuring of many banking systems will be needed in the medium-term. In this changing context of evolving market structures and regulations, the banks’ business models analysis can provide market participants, depositors, creditors, regulators and supervisors with a useful tool to better understand the nature of risk attached to each bank business model and its contribution to systemic risk throughout the economic cycle. JEL: E58, G01,G21
