Regulation and Supervision of Financial Markets
Objectives
The purpose of this course is twofold: on the one hand, to provide a general understanding of the elements, functioning and purposes of the financial system (comprising its three subsectors: banking, financial markets and insurance); and, on the other hand, to address the main features of the regulation and supervision of the financial system (i) from an international and (ii) EU perspective, with a special focus on the banking industry. The latter is justified by the economic importance of banks amidst financial intermediaries and well as by the interconnections between baking and the other subsectors of the financial system.

Teaching method
Classes will combine lectures with discussions on previously designated topics. Students will have advance access to reading materials and/or bibliographical references on the designated topics.
Evaluation method
Students may choose between two types of assessment: (i) an assessment exclusively based on the grade obtained at the final written exam (100%); or (ii) an assessment based on the weighted average resulting from the grade obtained in the final written exam (50%) combined with the grade resulting from active participation in the classroom (50%). The latter will require the reading of materials on and discussion of preselected topics.
Subject matter
The syllabus connects the different components of the fincial system (banking, insurance and capital markets), as well as the different levels of regulation (international, EU and national) which converge in the regulatory framework that supervisors apply to financial markets.
