The European Parliament has published an In-Depth Analysis document which asks whether Banking Union can foster market integration, and what lessons it holds for the Capital Markets Union. The document notes that, over the past decade, the Single Supervisory Mechanism has focused on making banks safer, resulting in stronger banks but limited euro area cross-border integration, and argues that overbanking hinders both cross-border integration for the EU and the development and integration of capital markets.
