«La régulation financière est un atout»
Tribune | 11/12/2009  Interview by Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa published in Le Figaro on 11 December 2009. Only in French
L'ex-gouverneur de la Banque d'Italie et ex-membre de la Banque centrale européenne (BCE) salue le compromis trouvé par les ministres des Finances de l'Union européenne la semaine dernière.
LE FIGARO. - L'Europe a-t-elle trouvé, lors du dernier Ecofin, un bon compromis sur la supervision financière ?
Tommaso PADOA-SCHIOPPA. - Rappelons d'abord l'enjeu. Aujourd'hui, en matière de supervision européenne, il n'existe ni de «super», ni de «vision» : nulle part dans la zone euro, une autorité n'est capable d'avoir une vision globale et instantanée des risques portés par les quinze ou vingt plus grandes institutions financières européennes. C'est pourquoi tout ce qui va dans le sens d'une plus grande intégration de la supervision est à mes yeux une avancée. Dans ce contexte, le compromis trouvé par l'Ecofin la semaine dernière permet le progrès. Mais il ne le garantit pas. Le succès dépendra de l'impulsion politique qui sera donnée au nouveau système.
