The global crisis: Challenges to the banking system

After the 2008 crisis, the tasks of economic policies and the institutions’ structure underwent many changes both at world economy and European level. The paper focuses on the banking system stability, the effects of the fast pre-crisis leveraging and the fast post- crisis deleveraging, and their impact on the banking system. The most relevant methods used in this field deal with the analysis of banking sector-oriented economic policies adopted during the crisis, on the one hand, and the analysis of indicators assessing the crisis fallout on the banking sector, on the other hand.
