The European banking union refers to the transfer of responsibility for banking policy from the member state-level to the union-wide level in several EU member states,initiated in 2012 as a response to the 2009 Eurozone crisis. The motivation for the banking union was the fragility of numerous banks in the Eurozone,and the identification of a vicious circle between credit conditions for these banks and the sovereign credit of their respective home countries. In several countries,private debts arising from a property bubble were transferred to the respective sovereign as a result of banking system bailouts and government responses to slowing economies post-bubble. Conversely,weakness in sovereign credit resulted in deterioration of the balance sheet position of the banking sector,not least because of high domestic sovereign exposures of the banks.
