EU Banking Union

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The Banking Union is one of the EU’s most ambitious policy projects of the past decade. Through its three pillars—the SSM, the SRM, and the protection of deposits—it has revolutionized the EU’s grip on the banking sector by installing the ECB as the dominant EU banking supervisor, by introducing a banking resolution regime, and by pooling financial resources to make the banking sector more resilient. With complementary rules yet to be adopted, the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU still unfolding, and an ongoing major reform establishing the Crisis Management and Deposit Insurance framework, Banking Union remains a dynamically evolving project. This book addresses the development of the Banking Union up until today in terms of its various dimensions—a horizontal, a substantive, an institutional, a cooperative, a review, and an external dimension—with the aim of traversing its three pillars.</jats:p>
