Abstract

La banca se ha posicionado como un pilar fundamental de las economías contemporáneas en tanto las regulaciones en este sector determinan no solo su rumbo sino también el de los demás sectores de la economía que se verán ampliamente influenciados. De esta forma, la Ley Glass-Steagall (LGS) se convierte en uno de los exponentes más importantes de la regulación bancaria. En el presente texto, se analiza la LGS y sus efectos sobre el sistema financiero. Para ello, se examina su origen,implementación y derogación. A partir de ello, se pondrá en tela de juicio su relevancia en los mercados financieros internacionales. Por medio de una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica y una serie de análisis individuales, se concluye que la derogación de la LGS supuso un punto de inflexión en la normativa de regulación financiera y contribuyó al posterior desarrollo de las crisis financieras, tales como la crisis del 2007-2008. *** Banking has positioned itself as a fundamental pillar of contemporary economies as regulations in this sector determine not only its direction but also that of other sectors of the economy that will be widely influenced. In this way, the Glass-Steagall Act becomes one of the most important exponents of banking regulation. In this text, the GSA and its effects on the financial system are analyzed. To this end, its origin, implementation and repeal are examined. From which, its relevance in the international financial markets will be questioned. By means of an exhaustive bibliographical review and a series of individual analyses, it is concluded that the repeal of the LGSwas a turning point in financial regulation regulations and contributed to the subsequent development of financial crises, such as the 2007-2008 crisis.
