UNIA BANKOWA I UNIA RYNKÓW KAPITAŁOWYCH – ANALIZA PORÓWNAWCZA EUROPEJSKICH PROJEKTÓW INTEGRACYJNYCH W OBSZARZE FINANSOWYM

The global financial crisis (2007-2008) has exposed weaknesses in the supervision of the banking system and the leveling is the main objective of the European Banking Union. In turn, the lack of sufficient effectiveness of the EU authorities in stimulating economic growth lay at the basis of European Capital Markets Union assuming stimulating investment through the capital market. Both projects concern the financial area, but the first one is dedicated only to the euro area with the option of the accession of other countries, and the second to all EU-28. A special role in this project will be served by the United Kingdom because of the most developed and largest equity market among all EU countries. Moreover the supporters of Capital Markets Union in the UK suggest even big benefits of this project, which is to be a counterweight to the views of the country’s leaving the EU. The timetable for their full implementation is quite remote, and the banking union in the range of two pillars is already being implemented, and the Capital Markets Union is at the end of the first half of 2015 at the development stage of the Action Plan setting out the detailed schedule of activities for the implementation of this project. The issue of the article is very important and timely, while pointing to the need for further research on banking union and Capital Markets Union.
