It appears that the Eurozone, still in the middle of its debt contagion and financial problems, is taking baby-steps in the right direction. It remains to be seen if their new so called independent agency which is supposed to monitor and supervise all banks in the Eurozone will actually be independent or if it will fail just like so many other regulatory bodies before.

Calls from various sectors of the financial market claimed that Eurozone banks under ECB control is a vital step in order to add an additional layer of security across the Eurozone. While there is no doubt that serious structural changes are required, the verdict is still out if this new agency is well suited for the job or not.
 
I think everyone can rest assured that things can only get better now. After all, now that there's a central supervisor, it could centrally take money from depositors all over Europe instead of having to pressure individual countries like Cyprus to rob their own banks.

This is a good thing, right? :p
 
I am not sure how much worse it can get, but trust regulators and politicians to always find a way. Time will tell how things unfold.
