Making matters worse, market and monetary reforms have occasionally merged, with rule-making becoming partly dependent on the decisions of disparate agencies and institutions. Meeting enhanced Basel III capital standards, for example, is about more than just rules; it requires the recapitalization of banks – a process that is taking longer in Europe than in the US, partly because the eurozone has had to negotiate funding mechanisms for banks and cash-strapped governments.
更糟糕的是，市场和货币改革偶尔会合而为一，规则制定部分取决于不同机构和部门的决定。比如，符合加强后的巴塞尔III资本标准便不仅仅事关规则；还需要重组银行——这一过程在欧洲花费的时间比在美国更长，部分是因为欧元区必须为银行和现金不足的政府谈判融资机制。如今，这些拖延因素已经让美国开始怀疑欧盟的改革承诺。
