This paper investigates the potential relationships between financial structures and economic outcomes. The empirical results that withstand a battery of methods suggest that some financial intermediation structures are likely to be more closely related to positive economic outcomes than others. For instance, protective financial buffers within institutions have been associated with better economic performance, and a domestic financial system that is dominated by some types of nontraditional bank intermediation or that has a high proportion of foreign banks has in some cases been associated with adverse economic outcomes, especially during the financial crisis. The results also suggest that there may be trade-offs between beneficial effects on growth and stability of some financial structures. For example, the positive association of financial buffers with growth can diminish above a certain, relatively high, threshold—a too-safe system may limit the available funds for credit and hence growth.

The ECB Report on Financial Structures (RFS) in the euro area reviews the main structural features of and developments in the broader euro area financial sector. Like the ECB Banking Structures Report (BSR), which was published until 2014 and can be seen as a predecessor of the RFS, the RFS has a clear structural focus, thereby serving as a complement to the biannual ECB Financial Stability Review (FSR) which focuses more on cyclical factors. The RFS has a much wider scope than the BSR, covering not only the banking sector, but also other financial intermediaries, in particular insurance corporations and pension funds (ICPFs) as well as non-bank and non-insurance financial intermediaries, often labelled the "shadow banking" sector. Parts of the non-bank financial sector have grown substantially over the past decade and sometimes perform bank-like functions. This calls for a more holistic approach to the structure of the euro area financial sector going forward.

Since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect at the start of 1994, production and trade in goods and services have become ever more integrated in the region. Banking and financial systems thus also must increasingly inform, adjudicate, transact, invest, insure, and intermediate all across North America. Presently, however, there is no single or up-to-date source of information on the banking and finance systems of current (Canada, the United States, and Mexico) and prospective (Chile) NAFTA countries. This volume presents the first report on the banking and financial structure of each of the three NAFTA countries and Chile.
