Drivers and consequences of consumer alienation in the French retail banking sector
Abstract
The value co-destruction process has been heavily studied in recent years. However, most studies have focused on the value of co-destruction's emotional and behavioral consequences without considering its psychological impact on consumer behavior. This study bridges this research gap by examining consumer alienation as a fundamental psychological state that underpins the value co-destruction process. Its primary objective is to delve into the significance of alienation within retail banking, uncovering its underlying causes and consequences. Furthermore, the study examines how the external locus of control affects the behavior of alienated consumers. The data were collected from 211 French retail bank users. Structural Equation Modeling was used to test the hypotheses. The study showed that consumers' discontent, perceived differential treatment, and financial distress lead to value destruction and influence consumer alienation toward retail banking service providers. A high level of alienation leads to payment delinquency, negative WOM, and switching intentions to internet-only banks. The external locus of control moderates these relationships. By identifying the antecedents and consequences of consumer alienation in retail banking, this study provides practical advice to retail banking providers on retroactively identifying alienated consumers. This study provides ideas on restoring lost value, retaining customers, and preventing them from switching to internet-only banks. Our research enriches the Service-Dominant Logic theory by exploring the role of consumer alienation on the value co-destruction process. It enhances the understanding of consumer alienation in retail banking.

Industry Approach to CSDR Settlement Discipline Regime
We support the political agreement by the EU legislators on changes to Regulation (EU) No 909/2014 ("CSDR") that allow for a delay to the implementation of mandatory buy-ins. The Joint Associations advocated for a reassessment of this aspect of the settlement discipline regime as part of the broader CSDR Review. The Joint Associations support a result that achieves the regulatory objectives in an effective and proportionate way, and that avoids significant negative consequences for market liquidity and stability.
While further formal steps need to be taken for the changes in the political agreement to be put into effect and formally adopted and published as EU law, the political agreement reflects the intent of EU legislators that mandatory buy-in requirements in the current CSDR should not go live on
The Joint Associations therefore believe that EU legislators do not expect market participants to take further action towards implementation of the mandatory buy-in requirements, due to come into effect on
On this basis, those associations that were intending to publish industry standard documentation to facilitate compliance with the mandatory buy-in requirements, will no longer be proceeding with publication.
With respect to all other CSDR settlement discipline measures (i.e., Articles 1 - 20 and 39 - 42 of the CSDR RTS) it is expected that market participants will proceed with implementation in accordance with the relevant regulatory deadline of

Due to rounding, figures presented in the charts throughout this document may not sum.
Bank capital
European banks have continued building a solid capital position and strengthening their balance sheets. The recapitalisation effort that European banks have made following the 2008 financial crisis makes the European banking sector more resilient and robust. Capital has continued increasing, with the core equity Tier 1 ratio of EU banks on a fully loaded basis, which includes only capital of the highest quality, at 14.2% in
After reducing the original total capital shortfall by more than €500 billion from 2011 and reaching zero in
In 2018, all banks met, once more, the liquidity coverage ratio above the minimum. Furthermore, the shortfall of all categories of capital in 2018 remained at lowest levels. Also, the leverage and NSFR shortfalls continued to decrease, albeit at a slower pace, to €1.50 billion and €49.1 billion, respectively.
Bank funding
The share of deposit liabilities over total assets increased in 2018 from 53.4% to 54.2%, in line with the rising trend since 2007 (47.3%) that reveals the shift towards greater reliance on deposits as a source of funding.
The rise in the share of non-banks' deposits to total assets has continued, rising from 38.1% in 2017 to 39.0% in 2018.
The country breakdown for total deposits shows that domestic deposits were equivalent to less than half of the assets in
Assets
The amount of total assets held by EU banks expanded in 2018 after few years of consecutive contraction. This time enlarged by approximately €500 billion from the previous year amounting to €43.35 trillion (€30.9 billion in euro area and €12.5 billion in non-euro area). The expansion came basically from gain in the total assets in the euro area countries (1.6%).
Considering the country breakdown, the country with the strongest boost in absolute terms was
