This comprehensive book delves into the ever-evolving landscape of the banking sector, exploring the diverse financing tools it has fostered and the impact of new regulations on financial institutions, firms, and individuals. Written in two parts, the project comprises papers presented at the 2019 Annual Conference of the Wolpertinger Club - The European Association of University Teachers in Banking and Finance.

The first part delves into the profound impact of policy changes on banks and financial institutions, particularly the recent shifts in European policy. The authors examine how policy is communicated, shaping new incentives and challenges for the banking sector and institutional and individual investors. The book also touches upon the ongoing debate surrounding bail-in versus bail-out options and provides a comprehensive review of emerging opportunities in the European covered and subordinated bond markets, including the new regulatory framework established by European authorities.

The second part of the book expands the scope of financing options beyond the traditional banking sector, examining financing options for firms and individuals and highlighting the growing role of alternative capital-market tools such as mini bonds and crowdfunding in supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Arguing that financing decisions hold significant implications for the survival rate of startups, this edited collection serves as a valuable resource for researchers in finance, business, and particularly banking, financial institutions, and entrepreneurial finance.
