Abstract

A large literature has been sponsored on the impact of 1992 and the removal of capital controls on the European banking sector. A great deal of attention is focused within this literature on the issues of banking competition, efficiency and structure. It is argued that this literature is not automatically applicable to the Southern European economies and an alternative model is explored.
