IIF says time to pause "inferno" of new bank rules Jun 7th 2012, 09:12 COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 7 | Thu Jun 7, 2012 5:12am EDT COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 7 (Reuters) - Regulators should pause the "inferno" of reform initiatives being brought in to make the banking industry safer, as it is hurting lending as banks opt to shrink to meet the changes, the new head of the industry's leading lobby group said.

Speaking at an IIF conference, he said banking markets were becoming more national, leading to less globalisation and more fragmentation of the industry.
