ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
Financial crises are not freak events — they are recurring patterns driven by leverage, opacity and regulatory drift. This 3-hour masterclass traces four landmark crises across four centuries, drawing direct lines to the frameworks professionals work under today, including MiFID II, AIFMD, Basel III, BRRD, and CySEC’s supervisory priorities.
The 2012–2013 Cyprus Banking Crisis receives particular focus as the bail-in that reshaped EU resolution law. Participants will attain a practical crisis-analysis framework and a clear understanding of how each regulatory response changed what is expected of them.
ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΣΕΜΙΝΑΡΙΟΥ
Training Objectives
Identify the structural patterns common to financial crises: leverage, asset bubbles, regulatory failure and contagion.
Trace the evolution of financial regulation from the Great Depression to Basel III, MiFID II, AIFMD and BRRD — understanding why each framework was created.
Understand the bail-in mechanism, deposit guarantee rules and the BRRD through the lens of the Cyprus 2013 crisis.
Connect historical crisis lessons to CySEC’s supervisory priorities and the obligations of regulated entities.
Apply the six-point crisis-analysis framework to current vulnerabilities and recognise early warning signs.

Training Outline
THE ANATOMY OF A FINANCIAL CRISIS
· What is a financial crisis? (Reinhart & Rogoff framework)
· Five preconditions: leverage, liquidity mismatch, opacity, herd behaviour, regulatory drift
· The six-point analytical lens applied across all case studies
THE GREAT DEPRESSION (1929) — When Governments Step In
· The Roaring Twenties: credit boom, equity speculation and consumer leverage
· The crash: Black Thursday, bank runs and financial contagion
· The New Deal response: SEC (1934), Glass-Steagall, FDIC and deposit insurance
REGULATION SPOTLIGHT — How the 1929 crash created the SEC model that inspired CySEC’s design and why investor protection rules trace back to this era
THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS (2008) — Too Big to Fail
· Subprime lending, CDOs, credit-rating failure and the Lehman collapse
· Regulatory failure: Basel II, shadow banking and off-balance-sheet opacity
· Post-2008 architecture: Basel III, Dodd-Frank, MiFID II, AIFMD, EMIR
REGULATION SPOTLIGHT — MiFID II obligations for CySEC-regulated firms: suitability, cost disclosures and product oversight
REGULATION SPOTLIGHT — AIFMD: authorisation, delegation, depositary and reporting for Cypriot fund managers
THE CYPRUS BANKING CRISIS (2012–2013) — The Bail-in That Changed Europe
· Background: offshore hub, Greek PSI exposure, banking sector 8× GDP
· The bail-in: first haircut on uninsured deposits over €100,000; capital controls and recovery
· Discussion: Was the bail-in the right decision? What would have happened otherwise?
REGULATION SPOTLIGHT — BRRD — bail-in hierarchy and MREL requirements
REGULATION SPOTLIGHT — Deposit Guarantee Schemes — the €100,000 rule: what it covers and what it does not
REGULATION SPOTLIGHT — CySEC post-2013: supervisory intensification, AML/KYC overhaul and ongoing obligations
CONNECTING THE DOTS — PATTERNS AND TODAY’S RISKS
· Rapid-fire: Tulip Mania (1637), Oil Crisis (1973), Asian Crisis (1997)
· Today’s vulnerabilities: AI concentration risk, private credit growth, geopolitical fragmentation
REGULATION SPOTLIGHT — ICAAP, SREP and stress-testing obligations for CySEC-regulated firms under market stress
Training Style
Masterclass format combining short lectures with structured case-study analysis, live polling and guided group discussion. Each crisis is treated as a forensic investigation — participants examine the evidence, diagnose the regulatory failure and debate the policy response. Designed to be intellectually stimulating, Cyprus-relevant and immediately applicable to daily professional practice.
