The Banking Symposium, April 2018, held at the Busi-
ness School, University of Auckland, was intended to be a
Festschrift in honour of Professor David Mayes' impend-
ing retirement. Sadly, David passed away before the event
in November 2017 after a short illness. This collection of
papers illustrates the range of interests David had in the area
of financial stability, banking supervision and bank resolu-
tion. The papers in this collection are partway inspired by
some of David's own thoughts and writings on the topics.
These themes were thoughtfully combined for the event
to evaluate some of the reforms introduced after the GFC.
David's work will continue to inspire lots of questions in the
field of financial stability, bank supervision and bank resolu-
tion. David was a very good friend to us all and is missed.
His work will continue to influence and shape our thinking.
The first paper titled 'Two Stabilities: Friends, Good
Friends, or inseparable?' by Forest Capie, Terence Mills and
Geoffrey Wood, utilises existing data to argue that monetary
and financial stability are symbiotic. Using Britain as a case
Dalvinder would like to thank Dr. Nkechikwu Valerie Azinge,
Lecturer in Law, University of Lincoln for valuable research
assistance.

study, they illustrate that given its effects on banks' balance
sheet, monetary stability promotes financial stability. Con-
versely, financial stability, by stabilising components of the
money multiplier, facilitates the attainment of monetary sta-
bility. The authors, however, recognise that their findings are
limited to their use of the words 'financial stability' in a tra-
ditional sense and observe that using it in another sense may
lead to varying findings. Dirk Schoenmaker, in his paper
titled 'Trans-Tasman Cooperation in Banking Supervision
and Resolution' considers whether there is an increased
need for banking supervision and resolution in light of the
emergence of international banks. Schoenmaker's paper
uses the financial trilemma model to explore the options
for cooperation between the Australian and New Zealand
banking authorities in supervision and resolution given their
varying regulatory approaches. It concludes that, to main-
tain financial stability, supervisors and resolution authori-
ties from home and host countries would need to cooperate,
particularly when banks experience problems. Consequently,
it proposes the institution of a bilateral treaty for the super-
vision of the big four Australian banks and joint resolution
based on burden sharing between the Australian and New
Zealand government. This proposal is considered a stronger
alternative to the current crisis resolution framework. Ross
Buckley, Douglas Arner and Dirk Zetzsche and Rolf Weber,
in their paper, 'The Road to RegTech: The (Astonishing)
Example of the European Union' contend that whilst the
EU's financial technological advancement and regulation
was uncoordinated, it presents a roadmap for other coun-
tries to impose coordinated legal and regulatory approaches
on finance, data and their interaction. It argues that the
advancement of synchronised systems of data, finance and
technology has occasioned the increasing use of technol-
ogy for compliance, monitoring, enforcement and systems
designs. Consequently, it suggests that RegTech will pose
regulatory and supervisory challenges but also opportunities
for improvement. Eva Hupkes, in the paper 'Resolution (R)
