Endnotes

1The Group of Thirty (2008) studied financial supervisory structures in 17 countries. Current structures for financial supervision are classified into four categories: Institutional, Functional, Integrated, and Twin Peaks.

2On the issue of choosing an appropriate financial supervision architecture, two main questions are often addressed. One is whether an integrated supervisor is better than a fragmented one. This is the main issue in this paper. The other is the role of central banks in the financial stability framework. This is not covered in this paper. Please refer to Herring and Carmassi (2008), Masciandaro and Quintyn (2009), and Nier (2009).
