The financial crisis has necessitated intervention from the governments and questions the stability of the financial sector. This OECD report concentrates on reforms in the financial sector and the principles for the exit strategy of the emergency measures of the government. Guidelines for reforms are proposed which aim at bringing a balance between risk and the search for return in banking. The reasons why the exit strategy must be coordinated with the reforms in the financial sector are also explained. Interesting guidelines therefore for steering the Belgian policy.
