The ECB was also unlike older central banks in that it was not seen as a source of support for an integrated but potentially vulnerable banking system. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, there were debates about whether the ECB should be responsible for banking supervision and regulation.
与较古老的央行相比，欧洲央行的不同之处还在于它不被视为支持统一但极易遭到破坏的银行系统的一种来源。在上个世纪80年代末，90年代初，出现了欧洲央行是否应该负责银行监管的辩论。得出的结论是不应该——2007年至2008年的信贷危机发生后，这一决定似乎一直就是一个根本性的错误。
