BERLIN (AP) ? Germany's finance minister says a new European banking supervisor should focus on major banks that pose a potential systemic risk, arguing it couldn't effectively oversee all the eurozone's lenders.me
Wolfgang Schaeuble wrote in Friday's edition of the Financial Times: "it is crucial that the new system be truly effective."
He says efforts should focus on "banks that can pose a systemic risk at a European level."
Schaeuble says it's "common sense; we cannot expect a European watchdog to supervise directly all of the region's lenders ? 6,000 in the eurozone alone ? effectively."
That could put Berlin at odds with the EU's executive Commission, which issues proposals for the new system in mid-September. Internal-market commissioner Michel Barnier wants all eurozone banks centrally supervised by the European Central Bank.
