37265 - Financial Market Regulation

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student has an introductory but complete knowledge of the principles, bodies and the main regulatory provisions. Particular focus is devoted to the international aspect of financial regulation, both about the issue of stability (Basel regulations and Financial Stability Board) and that of transparency (market abuse and MIFID regulations).

Course contents

Most, if not all, relevant aspects of international and European financial law have been undergoing reform in the last few years and some are in the process of being reconsidered within the CMU initiative and to complete the Banking Union. This course endeavours to offer a comprehensive picture of European financial law as it stands today and thus to offer a chart to navigate it; it should help understanding its underpinnings, organise (as simply as possible) internal linkages and test the overall consistency of the system. In doing so, this course revolves around a simple idea: to properly understand European financial rules, it is necessary to identify the paradigms that like “deep currents” run underneath them, in order to capture their proper meaning and finality and to measure their consistency and proportionality. This course is meant to be, therefore, a conversation about the rationale(s) of the rules and tools of European financial law as well as on the needs for future simplification and reform (proposals for simplification are part of the exercise).
