Abstract (partial) "Regulatory action in response to the global financial crisis, together with broader developments in finance and society, have materially expanded regulation in the financial sector. While there is a general consensus on the need for regulation, there is much less agreement on whether recent increases in the complexity of regulation are necessary and appropriate. As a result, we are seeing a strong pushback from the financial industry, which is arguing that overly complex regulation has led to financial institutions becoming overburdened, hampering their ability to provide financial services efficiently. However, neither excessive complexity nor excessive simplicity are likely to be features of a regulatory framework that successfully deals with the challenge of maintaining cost-efficiency and adequate risk-sensitivity in an increasing complex world. Ideally, regulation should be robust enough to accommodate the hard-to-predict evolution of the financial system (including the emergence of new business models and financial innovations) while preserving financial stability at a reasonable cost."
