TAILIEUCHUNG - Austrian Definitions of the Supply of Money

The ultimate key to ensuring financial stability lies in the design of compatible international mechanisms that ensure the effective oversight and orderly resolution of banks at both national and global levels. Such a mechanism would reduce financial stability concerns of home and host countries regarding specific legal structures and allow banks to organize themselves in ways that fit their business models best. A combination of national and international arrangements is needed to ensure that cross-border banking groups fully internalize the costs associated with their failure (the first-best solution).
