This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper documents global trends in bank activity, consolidation, internationalization, and financial firm conglomeration, and explores the extent to which financial firm risk and systemic risk potential in banking are related to consolidation and conglomeration. We find that while there is a substantial upward trend in conglomeration globally, consolidation and internationalization exhibit uneven patterns across world regions. Trends in consolidation and conglomeration indicate increased risk profiles for large, conglomerate financial firms, and higher levels of systemic risk potential for more concentrated banking systems. We outline research directions aimed at explaining why bank consolidation and conglomeration do not necessarily yield either safer financial firms or more resilient banking systems.

Download or read book Bank Consolidation and Performance written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine a large panel of more than 100 banks from Argentina to study the effects of bank consolidation on performance between December 1995 and December 2000, a period of heavy bank consolidation and relative calm. Overall, we find a positive and significant effect of bank consolidation on bank performance. Bank returns increase with consolidation, and insolvency risk is reduced. Additionally, the study suggests that mergers and privatizations have a beneficial effect on bank returns. The effects of a bank acquisition on return on equity is, however, negative. Acquisitions do not seem to have any effect on risk-adjusted returns. The study also finds that a bank's insolvency risk is reduced significantly through mergers and privatization and is unrelated to bank acquisitions.
Download or read book On Bank Consolidation in a Currency Union written by Fabio Di Vittorio and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper focuses on the impact of diversification on bank performance and how consolidation through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) affects the banking sector’s stability in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The paper finds that a lower level of loan portfolio diversification explains higher non-performing loans and earnings volatility of indigenous banks, as compared to foreign competitors in the ECCU. We then simulate bank mergers both within and across ECCU countries by combining individual banks’ balance sheets. The simulation shows that a typical indigenous bank could better diversify against its idiosyncratic risk by merging with other banks across the border. In addition, we point out that M&A, leading to a more asymmetric banking sector, may increase systemic risk.
Download or read book Bank Consolidation Efficiency and Profitability in Italy written by Anke Weber and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the case for efficiency-driven banking sector consolidation in Italy, evaluates its potential effects on profitability, and discusses policy options to facilitate a consolidation process that is as effective as possible. A bottom-up analysis of 386 Italian banks suggests that while profitability is expected to improve as the economy gradually recovers, operational efficiency gains are nonetheless needed to restore large parts of the banking system to healthy profitability. Banking system consolidation can play a role in facilitating such efficiency gains, but its effectiveness is likely to be most as part of a comprehensive strategy that includes complementary reforms to clean up bank balance sheets. Cross-country experience indicates that efficiency gains are more likely to follow consolidations where careful viability analyses are conducted of the synergies and operational improvements that can be achieved.
Download or read book Consolidation and Market Structure in Emerging Market Banking Systems written by Gaston Gelos and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the evolution of market structure in emerging market banking systems during the 1990s. While significant bank consolidation has been taking place in these countries, reflected in a sharp decline in the number of banks, this process has not systematically been associated with increased concentration as measured by standard indices. Moreover, econometric estimates based on the Panzar-Rosse (1987) methodology suggest that, overall, markets have not become less competitive in a sample of eight European and Latin American countries. Lowering barriers to entry, by doing such things as allowing increased participation of foreign banks, appears to have prevented a decline in competitive pressures associated with consolidation.

Download or read book A Century of Banking Consolidation in Europe written by Manfred Pohl and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century the European banking sector experienced countless mergers and acquisitions. The outcome of this century of consolidation is strikingly similar across the continent, with the banking sector of each country now dominated by a handful of giant banking corporations. Consolidation and concentration trends in banking was the theme of the Academic Archive Colloquium of the European Association for Banking History held in Madrid in June 1997. This volume is comprised of the 18 papers and responses presented at the Colloquium by a truly international group of delegates. Some of the themes explored in the book include: the significance of mergers for bank archives; the regulation of mergers and their impact on banking legislation; reactions to consolidation from within and without the banking industry; case studies of particular mergers and their impact on the wider banking community. Youssef Cassis's introductory chapter provides a general survey of trends in the consolidation process and suggests that the advent of the Euro may herald a new era in the history of European banking consolidation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich VWL - Finanzwissenschaft, Note: Distinction, University of Warwick (School of Law), Veranstaltung: International Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: International financial conglomerates are the result of the last three decade's policy of deregulation and globalisation. This meant the convergence of commercial banking, investment banking and sometimes insurance in the United States of America with a cross-border expansion. Yet, as has been seen in the recent 2007-2009 crisis (the crisis), those conglomerates create a wholly new host of challenges due to their activities, prime role as counterparty activities in the credit default market, size and structure. Especially their central role in market-financing of other financial institutions as well as other types of companies creates globally systemic risk. A consistent policy which mitigates uncertainty during times of financial crises is essential; however, the rationale behind the US authority behind the ad-hoc responses dealing with AIG, Bear Stearns (BS) and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (LB) are very hard to distil, if at all. It can be claimed that there was no consistency in the rescue efforts. In the first case, US authorities injected capital into the ailing company to keep it alive. In the BS case, authorities supported the takeover by JP Morgan using public funds. In the last case, LB, since no potential buyer could be found and authorities did no facilitate any support, the company had to file a petition under Chapter 11.This shows the mechanisms but also difficulties authorities encounter when they deal with those systemic relevant institutions. They have to try to prevent moral hazard incentives, avoid spillovers to other industries and reduce costs to taxpayers. Constructive ambiguity in bail-outs is related to the prevention of moral hazard but increases simultaneously uncertainty, the chance of ill-consi
