Bundesbank chief outlines vision for stable banks, strong capital markets in Europe

The speech signals continued policy focus on banking resilience and capital market union, though no concrete measures were announced. This matters as it reflects the ECB/Bundesbank stance on financial stability amid ongoing regulatory debates.
