Summary
To enable banking supervision to operate effectively, it must - similar to central banks - be shielded from undue influences by politics and the banking sector. At the same time, action within the scope of its mandate must be ensured. Christopher Finck examines the relation between independence and democratic accountability in banking supervision.
