European Central Bank Forms New Task Force to Simplify Banking Regulations

According to PANews, the European Central Bank (ECB) has established a new task force led by the central bank governors of Germany, France, Italy, and Finland. The initiative aims to streamline banking regulation rules across Europe. This move may lead to internal tensions with the ECB's supervisory arm, which is committed to maintaining high regulatory standards. There are concerns that the simplification efforts could be leveraged by political forces to ease regulations in the banking sector.
