Key issues & risks for the Financial Services Sector in Scotland and the UK Stability of the Financial System Pros and Cons of Currency Union Issues Affecting Financial Institutions if Currency Union Agreed Issues Affecting Financial Institutions if Currency Union Rejected Issues if EU Membership Delayed

Stability of the Financial System Dependent on key factors: Currency Regime for financial regulation and financial crisis resolution Neither guaranteed 100% Subject to negotiation post-referendum Position on EU membership unclear – double whammy Uncertainty

Pros and Cons of Currency Union Central plank of Yes Campaign (or is it?) Benefits: Single Market Reduces the cost of cross-border trade intra-UK Integrated financial system & economies Alternative options unattractive Downsides: Loss of fiscal autonomy Big Brother Bully Practical difficulties sharing a Central Bank

Issues Affecting Financial Institutions if Currency Union Agreed Financial Crisis Resolution: Scotland’s ability to act as fiscal back-stop Size of the Scottish banks Financial regulation Role of the Bank of England in question EU Banking Consolidation Directive (Directive 2006/48/EC) Regulatory Divergence Timescales & Costs Funding Costs & Capital Adequacy Requirements Restructuring of Banks Optional – funding costs, tax breaks etc. Mandatory – EU “HQ Rules” Timescales & Costs Views?

Issues Affecting Financial Institutions if Currency Union Rejected Similar currency union issues still apply Alternative options unattractive (anyone for the euro?) Scottish currency Barriers to trade Big picture / small picture view Bank Payment Infrastructure Scottish Central Bank & Scottish Regulator Expertise & funding, timescales, market confidence Redenomination of contracts in Scotland Capital Flight

Issues if EU Membership Delayed Scotland outside the EU – reciprocal arrangements required EU Banking Consolidation Directive Bank licences, legacy & passport arrangements Importance of having a capable and credible regulator in place ASAP
