Lars Rohde: The importance of cross-border cooperation for Denmark's financial stability

Speech by Mr Lars Rohde, Governor of the National Bank of Denmark, at the annual meeting of Finance Denmark, Copenhagen, 3 December 2018.

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

Thank you for inviting me to speak here today.

In an age when partnerships are discontinued, and walls are built be-tween countries, I find it important to focus on the considerable ad-vantages to our society and its continued development which rule-based international cooperation offers.

I have chosen to talk about three topical issues which, in their separate ways, relate to cross-border cooperation and which are essential to fi-nancial stability in Denmark. They are: anti-money laundering, crisis reso-lution of mortgage credit institutions and the banking union.
