  1. THE STRUCTURE OF THE SPANISH FINANCIAL SYSTEM José Luis Malo de MolinaBanco de España. Director General ICO’s International Executive Training Programme in Development Banking ICO. 31 March 2003

  2. THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE SPANISH FINANCIAL SYSTEM • In the early 80s the Spanish financial system was rigid, underdeveloped, closed and heavily intervened. But it has since changed drastically • Two main (interlinked) driving factors: • Changes in the macroeconomic environment • Changes in financial regulation Banco de España - Servicio de Estudios

  3. CHANGES IN THE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT • High inflation, increasing fiscal deficit and interest rate volatility fostered financial innovation • At the same time fostered stabilisation policies: • Decisive anti-inflationary orientation of monetary policy, which gradually gained credibility • Fiscal consolidation plan, which received further impulse from the run up to EMU • Spain joined EEC in 1986 and the Peseta entered the ERM in 1989 • As a positive result of those policies, Spain successfully completed its nominal convergence process by being included among the first group of countries forming the EMU in 1999 Banco de España - Servicio de Estudios

  4. CHANGES IN FINANCIAL REGULATION • 1980s • Prudential supervision framework completed: Banco de España (credit institutions) newly created CNMV (securities) and DGS (insurances) • Bank rates and charges and commissions in securities markets fully liberalised • Capital movements partially liberalised • Book-entry public debt market comes into operation • 1990s • Second Banking Directive transposed (freedom to establish and provide banking services) • Compulsory investment requirements on banks lifted and reserve requirement markedly reduced • Capital movements fully liberalised • Full freedom to establish and provide financial services • 2000s • Investor compensation system created • New measures on transparency and good practices Banco de España - Servicio de Estudios
