This has been indispensable and complements the new uniform system of European banking supervision through the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) established at the European Central Bank (ECB),&rdquo; says Ettl. In addition, the measures also decided upon today regarding the implementation of Basel III form a further foundation to strengthen banks&rsquo; capitalisation and liquidity, and provide supervisors with additional tools to make credit institutions more resilient to crises and shocks,&rdquo; adds Kumpfm&uuml;ller. The AIFMG, finally, closes a regulatory and supervisory gap which brings the Austrian financial market a crucial step closer to the G 20 heads of government principle that no market, no provider and no product should escape supervision any longer.<\/p><p><strong>Journalists may address further enquiries to:<\/strong><br>\nKlaus Grubelnik (FMA Media Spokesperson)<br>\n+43\/(0)1\/24959-5106<br>\n+43\/(0)676\/882 49 516<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BIRG, AIFMG and the Basel III implementation: FMA welcomes parliamentary decisions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
