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.

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.
