Financial Market Integration and Financial Stability

Author

Abstract

The present study deals with the consequences of Austria's integration into the Common Market and into Economic and Monetary Union for its financial stability. It shows that financial stability has been increased by a more efficient allocation of capital (as a result of intense competition), a higher degree of risk diversification, a reduced probability of asymmetric shocks and enhanced influence on the establishment of a harmonized framework. These positive effects have to some extent been weakened only by the increased risk of cross-border spillover effects and the growing importance of systemically relevant institutions. Setbacks in the earnings of financial institutions brought about by the integration process seem to have been offset at least in part by measures leading to higher cost efficiency. The cooperation of European countries in the regulation and supervision of financial institutions has promoted the positive integration effects of financial stability while weakening those reducing financial stability.
