France Pushes EU to Delay New Banking Capital Requirements
Paris argues that additional time is needed to avoid harming Europe’s financial stability.
The French government is urging the European Union to postpone the introduction of stricter banking capital rules, warning that premature enforcement could weaken the bloc’s financial markets.
Officials argue that a phased approach would give lenders more time to adapt without restricting credit to businesses and consumers.
The proposal has sparked debate among EU finance ministers seeking to balance fiscal prudence with economic growth.
