| Inhalt |
This course gives an overview of the international regulatory framework for banks and capital markets. It conveys the economic, legal, and geopolitical foundations necessary to understand the key pillars of today's «architecture» for global financial markets. The course program is based on the key body of current international standards (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision/BCBS, Financial Stability Board/FSB, International Commission of Securities Regulators/IOSCO, etc.) and analyzes the challenges of their implementation in the jurisdictions of leading financial centres in the world (namely the EU, UK, US, Hong Kong & Singapore).
The course not only covers the classical elements of international financial regulation (banking supervision, capital market regulation, enforcement & sanctions), but also sheds light on various «hot topics», such as climate change and green finance, digital finance and cryptocurrencies as well as current trends in enforcement, such as internal investigations, whistleblower protection and the «globalization of class actions». |

| Lernziele |
The key goals of this course are to:
• Foster a deep understanding of the legal, economic and political challenges of regulating and supervising banks and capital market transactions in a global context.
• Enable students to identify market failures in the global financial system and to critically assess various regulatory approaches to correct them.
• Raise awareness of differring regulatory approaches in various jurisdictions through comparative legal analysis and reflections on the role of regulatory and legal «culture».
• Familiarize students with current issues that will shape the future design of global financial regulation. |
| Voraussetzungen |
The course does not require any particular prior knowledge, except for a good command of English.
For students who have previously attended the course “Finanzmarktrecht”, this course offers the opportunity to deepen their understanding of regulatory approaches to banks and capital markets in a global context, to critically reflect on their previous knowledge of Swiss law with comparative law analyses, and thus to prepare for a practical activity in this challenging legal field. |
