The impact of restructuring and recapitalisation of banks

As restructuring and recapitalisation of banks takes place across Europe, what impact will this have on property lending?

With the European Central Bank (ECB) assuming responsibility for the supervision of banks in the euro area, improvements in strengthening the banking system are underway. In theory, the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) will provide a level playing field in the supervisory requirements to be met by banks across the euro area, thus helping to rebuild trust and bolster financial stability.
