Still, the reform agenda is far from finished. What are the remaining challenges going forward? What are the gains of closer financial market integration? This IMF book tracks the European Union's journey along the path to a single financial market and identifies the challenges and priorities that remain ahead. It pays particular attention to the most recent integration efforts in the European Union following the introduction of the euro. The study looks at the importance of financial integration, in particular for economic growth, the interplay between banks and markets, and equity market integration. It closely examines the relationship between financial integration and financial stability. This interaction presents the EU with a challenge, but also with the opportunity to play a pioneering role in developing a regional approach to financial stability that could provide lessons for the rest of the world.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2009.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries.20aEuropean UnionxEconomic integration.9141721 0aFinancezEurope.9141722 0aCapital marketzEurope.9134643 0aFinancial institutionszEurope.9141723 7aElectronic books.2local91901 aDecressin, Jörg.91417241 aFaruqee, Hamid.91417251 aFonteyne, Wim.91417262 aInternational Monetary Fund.2 aebrary, Inc.919140uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/strathmore/Doc?id=10300250zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c101373d81250
