Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Stability Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Vasileios Madouros:

I am not sure it is so much a regulation issue per se. However, what this means is there are fewer opportunities for what we call economies of scale. If there are a lot of individual smaller institutions it might be more difficult to build efficiencies to build up business.

One issue under active consideration is including co-operation under certain dimensions between some of the individual credit unions to guard against that.
