Andreas Dombret: Boring banking? Opening statement by Dr Andreas Dombret, Member of the Executive Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank, at the panel discussion, organized by “Bündnis 90/Die Grünen”, Frankfurt am Main, 28 May 2013. * 1. *  *  Introduction  Let me start with some reflections on the slogan of today’s event, “Boring Banking”.
Actually, I will argue that banking has become more challenging since the outbreak of the crisis. And I am not at all sure whether making banking boring is exactly what we want to do. Regulators are working hard on the “too-big-to-fail” issue. We want to ensure that large banks are resolvable.
