We then examine the main distinctive features of banking services. Next, we look at bank regulation, its main objectives, tools and historical evolution, together with a brief exam of the Basel 3 main reforms which have been approved after the recent financial crisis. Finally, we look at bank strategies and business models after the financial services crisis, highlighting the main factors distinguishing resilient banks from the least resilient ones.
