In addition, prudential regulations have lagged behind.

A similar change has been introduced in France, where a new Prudential Control Authority has been created. The British and French rarely agree on anything one is tempted to say that when they do, they are highly likely to be wrong.

Now that the European Banking Authority has finally issued new prudential rules, they can get about the business of raising the capital they need as a buffer against losses. Société Générale has moved in this direction, but few other banks have followed so far.
