ABSTRACT

This study examined the problems of a twin-peaks model experienced in Australia and Netherlands in order to reduce problems following the possible introduction of the model in South Korea. Their experience revealed several problems including those in the relationships between prudential regulator and business-conduct regulator, the independence of regulators, scope of regulatory authorities, regulatory styles, intra-organizational design, and internal integration of regulators. Among these, the problem specific to a twin-peaks model is the relationship between prudential regulator and business-conduct regulator, which requires particular attention in South Korea. In this respect, it is desirable that discussions on the introduction of the model pay special attention to clarifying jurisdiction, facilitating information sharing, and avoiding conflicts between the two regulatory agencies. However, it is worth considering that jurisdictional overlap and conflicts between the regulators, which are merely treated as harm, may be conducive to effective financial supervisory system.
