Abstract
Banking sector reform cannot be seen in isolation from the broader question of financial sector reform. The financial sector itself is based on three pillars: the payment and settlement system, financial institutions and financial markets. Developments in the banking sector and any reform of the existing structure should thus ensure that these three pillars remain sound.
