Summary:

Breaking the Bank? by Shirley Kempeneer explores the regulatory implications of banking stress tests introduced after the 2008 financial crisis. The book critically examines the effectiveness of the EU-wide stress test as a tool for assessing banks' health, questioning whether its benefits outweigh the costs and if it accurately identifies healthy and unhealthy banks. Kempeneer delves into the socio-political dynamics that shape the creation and use of performance indicators, highlighting their role in governance and decision-making. The author aims to provide a deeper understanding of how knowledge about banks' health is produced and its implications for policy and public debate. Intended for scholars and professionals in banking regulation and public governance, this work emphasizes the importance of transparency and the socio-political context in the production of financial indicators.
