As he said , we must not backtrack on reforms that proved effective during previous periods of turmoil. <\/p>\n<p>Our supervisory and regulatory framework has greatly enhanced the <b>resilience of our financial system<\/b> and should not be undermined &#8211; but it should be implemented with sufficient flexibility to increase supervisory effectiveness.  &#8220;At the same time, we need to accelerate initiatives that we have so far been reluctant to fully implement &#8211; notably the completion of the Banking Union and the establishment of a <b>European Deposit Insurance System<\/b>. At the same time, we need to move forward rapidly on the Savings and Investment Union in order to promote deeper integration of financial services, support cross-border banking, investment and insurance services and, ultimately, <b>to strengthen the competitiveness of Europe&#8217;s financial institutions<\/b>,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, Stournaras reminded his fellow delegates that he has served as a regular member of its predecessor, the European Union&#8217;s Monetary Committee, representing the Ministry of Economy and Finance from 1994 to 2000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speech by Yannis Stournaras at the Gala Dinner of the Informal Meeting of the EU&#8217;s Economic and Financial Committee in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
