PVegas told the House finance committee that the risk exists across the eurozone./PP”In a scenario of moderate recovery, the risks to financial stability – especially in the euro area – remain significant,” said Vegas./PPA lesson of the global financial crisis that began in 2008 is that a coordinated response by regulators from around the world is essential, he added./PP”The experience of recent years teaches that the responses of regulators should be more timely, more coordinated at the international level, but this requires that the ultimate decision-making power is increasingly concentrated on supranational supervisory bodies”./PPIn his comments to the committee, Vegas also warned that he sees risks of deflation in the eurozone along with a danger of new financial market “bubbles” in other parts of the globe because of abundant liquidity and low interest rates./PIMG id=mediaViewer title=”” alt=”” src=”http://www.mineralfossil.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/wpid-trasp76.gif”ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
