Ex-Bank of England governor Mervyn King says global regulation of the banking sector should be streamlined as it has become too complex. He argues that banks should be subject to a leverage ratio of no more than 10-15, while deposits should be backed by safe and highly liquid assets. King also questions the status of central banks as so-called lenders of last resort, arguing that they should instead be "pawnbrokers for all seasons".
