Following the financial crisis in the United States and Europe, in the last several years banks on both sides of the Atlantic have been subjected to stronger supervision and regulation as well as tougher requirements on capitalization. Yet recent events suggest that vulnerabilities may remain in some of the largest financial institutions, especially in Europe. Over the past year, equity markets have severely punished the share price of Deutsche Bank,1 the third largest bank in Europe.2 Although the system does not appear to be back at the brink of a Lehman-style crisis,3 it is timely to consider the implications of the recent difficulties of this global systemically important bank (G-SIB).
