Industry officials argue the delay is necessary to avoid unilateral regulatory exposure. Commerzbank CEO Bettina Orlopp noted at a recent banking conference to that effect:
“It now looks as if this set of rules will not exist in the U.S., and we know that Brussels is looking at this carefully. We have to be careful that we maintain the international competitiveness of European banks.”
GoldFix Comment: This is not the first time the EU has delayed full rollout. There is a history of this proverbial can being kicked down the road going back to 2011 when Gold made fresh ATH on the back of the Euro crisis. There are also serious implications for gold’s price, The Eu Bank solvency, and the deteriorating relationship between the EU and US. GoldFix will discuss this over the weekend
