Abstract

European financial services have experienced a dramatic change since the mid-1980s. The specific details of this change vary from country to country but the general thrust and direction of its impact are similar, taking the form of intensified competition of both a local and global nature. Much of this new competitive climate reflects global developments that, in part, may be attributed to floating currencies, the relaxation of exchange controls, and a proliferation of new more flexible financial instruments such as Eurobonds, futures, and derivatives (see Morgan, Chapter 1 in this volume). These developments in wholesale financial markets have established a trend that has found its counterpart in the retail sector of financial services across Europe, and indeed the rest of the world.
