The general premise is that while the government may have prevented a financial catastrophe for the time being, they have reinforced confidence for high risk taking and provided an invisible safety net. This can lead to a vicious cycle, wherein banks take risks, fail, receive

An example of a country with a contemporary minimum reserve ratio is Hong Kong , where banks are required to maintain 25% of their liabilities that are due on demand or within 1 month as qualifying liquefiable assets. Reserve requirements have also been used in the past to control the stock of banknotes and/or bank deposits.

European financial economics experts – notably the World Pensions Council (WPC) have argued that European powers such as France and Germany pushed dogmatically and naively for the adoption of the " Basel II recommendations", adopted in 2005, transposed in European Union law through the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD).

GSA prohibited affiliations between banks (which means bank-chartered depository institutions, that is, financial institutions that hold federally insured consumer deposits) and securities firms (which are commonly referred to as "investment banks" even though they are not technically banks and do not hold federally insured consumer deposits); further restrictions on bank affiliations with non-banking firms were enacted in Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHCA) and its subsequent amendments, eliminating
