Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since banking systems play a crucial role in maintaining the overall health of the economy, the adverse effects of poorly supervised systems may be quite severe. Without some form of vigilant external oversight, banking systems could fall prey to excessive risk taking, moral hazard, and corruption. Prudential supervision provides that oversight, using government regulation and monitoring to ensure the soundness of the banking system and, by extension, the economy at large. The contributors to this thoughtful volume examine the current state of prudential supervision, focusing on fundamental issues and key pragmatic concerns. Why is prudential supervision so important? What kinds of excess must it guard against? What particular forms does it take? Which of these are the most effective deterrents against mismanagement and system overload in today's rapidly shifting financial climate? The contributors foresee a continued movement beyond simple regulatory rules in banking and toward a more active evaluation and supervision of a bank's risk management practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banking regulations aim to strengthen financial stability and promote policies that foster safety, consistency, reliability, fairness, and inclusion in the financial products and services offered by banks. The context of discussions in this book, spread over five carefully selected chapters, is the Indian financial system with a global perspective. It highlights the need for continual improvement in the effectiveness of regulatory and supervisory processes to achieve stability, transparency, and robustness in financial institutions and financial markets. The effectiveness of prudential regulations depends upon the institutional credibility, deterrents, and enforcement mechanism. Moreover, prudential regulations should maintain pace with the time and changing dynamics of the financial system. Putting in place clear, uncomplicated regulations, and shunning complexity in the regulatory and supervisory processes helps in achieving the intended outcomes. Besides, inadequate internal controls, false assumptions about markets and liquidity, and lack of due diligence processes in financial institutions contribute to their failures and hence, it is a regulatory challenge to incentivize the banks to join the regulators in pursuit of effective risk optimization, and achieving the common good of a stable, fair, and efficient financial system. Liquidity remains a crucial focus of prudential regulations and it is important to understand the behavioural biases such as overconfidence, linear extrapolation, confirmation bias, and group-think, which hamper effective liquidity risk management in regulated institutions. An increasingly expanding toolkit of the perpetrators of financial crimes as a latent malfunction of global integration of financial systems and the advent of digital transactions is another matter of concern for regulators requiring enhanced focus on the gatekeepers. Finally, the financial innovations and technological advancements in the world of alternative finance require an appropriate regulatory structure that facilitates an orderly growth of alternative finance within the traditional financial landscape. This book offers a crisp reading on these key areas and presents a nuanced approach to improve the effectiveness of the prudential regulations.
Download or read book E Money Prudential Supervision Oversight and User Protection written by Mr. Marc C Dobler and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This departmental paper discusses the evolving prudential frameworks for nonbank issuers of electronic money. Some jurisdictions take a relatively light-touch approach to regulating electronic money issuers (EMIs). Others have sought to apply more stringent requirements to protect electronic money (e-money) users, as the sector has grown in importance. The paper aims to build on previous IMF staff contributions to the literature and to draw policy conclusions for strengthening e-money regulatory regimes; in particular in jurisdictions where issuers, individually or collectively, have grown to a size to which they are of macro-financial importance (see below). Chapter 2 provides background on the development of e-money, its economic benefits, and potential risks. Chapter 3 discusses prudential supervision of EMIs, followed in Chapter 4 by their oversight from a payments system perspective. Chapter 5 discusses potential additional measures for user protection and contingency arrangements for EMI failure. The last chapter presents policy recommendations for policymakers, especially in those emerging market economies and developing countries wherein EMIs have reached a scale at which they could have a significant economic impact if they were to fail.
Download or read book Financial Stability and Prudential Regulation written by Alison Lui and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial stability is one of the key tenets of a central bank’s functions. Since the financial crisis of 2007-2009, an area of hot debate is the extent to which the central bank should be involved with prudential regulation. This book examines the macro and micro-prudential regulatory frameworks and systems of the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Canada and Germany. Drawing on the regulator frameworks of these regions, this book examines the central banks’ roles of crisis management, resolution and prudential regulation. Alison Lui compares the institutional structure of the new ‘twin-peaks’ model in the UK to the Australian model, and the multi-regulatory US model and the single regulatory Canadian model. The book also discusses the extent the central bank in these countries, as well as the ECB, are involved with financial stability, and argues that the institutional architecture and geographical closeness of the Bank of England and Financial Policy Committee give rise to the fear that the UK central bank may become another single super-regulator, which may provide the Bank of England with too much power. As a multi-regional, comparative study on the importance and effectiveness of prudential regulation, this book will be of great use and interest to students and researchers in finance and bank law, economics and banking.

This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Financial Crisis of 2007-2010 exposed the existence of significant imperfections in the financial regulatory framework that encouraged excessive risk-taking and increased system vulnerabilities. The resulting high cost of the crisis in terms of lost aggregate income and wealth, and increased unemployment has reinforced the need to improve financial stability within and across countries via changes in traditional microprudential regulation, as well as the introduction of new macroprudential regulations. Amongst the questions raised are:

Download or read book Competition and Stability in Banking written by Xavier Vives and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguished economist examines competition, regulation, and stability in today's global banks Does too much competition in banking hurt society? What policies can best protect and stabilize banking without stifling it? Institutional responses to such questions have evolved over time, from interventionist regulatory control after the Great Depression to the liberalization policies that started in the United States in the 1970s. The global financial crisis of 2007–2009, which originated from an oversupply of credit, once again raised questions about excessive banking competition and what should be done about it. Competition and Stability in Banking addresses the critical relationships between competition, regulation, and stability, and the implications of coordinating banking regulations with competition policies. Xavier Vives argues that while competition is not responsible for fragility in banking, there are trade-offs between competition and stability. Well-designed regulations would alleviate these trade-offs but not eliminate them, and the specificity of competition in banking should be accounted for. Vives argues that regulation and competition policy should be coordinated, with tighter prudential requirements in more competitive situations, but he also shows that supervisory and competition authorities should stand separate from each other, each pursuing its own objective. Vives reviews the theory and empirics of banking competition, drawing on up-to-date analysis that incorporates the characteristics of modern market-based banking, and he looks at regulation, competition policies, and crisis interventions in Europe and the United States, as well as in emerging economies. Focusing on why banking competition policies are necessary, Competition and Stability in Banking examines regulation's impact on the industry's efficiency and effectiveness.
Download or read book Financial Fragility and Economic Performance in Developing Economies written by Mr.Marco Rossi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-05-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little empirical investigation exists of the links among capital account liberalization, prudential regulation and supervision, financial crises, and economic development, mainly because of the lack of comparable measures to describe regulatory practices for different countries. This paper examines empirically, albeit in a preliminary manner, these links using new measures of capital controls, prudential regulation, supervision, and depositors’ safety for a sample of 15 developing economies over the period 1990–97. Results confirm the importance of the degree of capital account convertibility and the regulatory and supervisory framework in affecting financial fragility and economic performance.
Download or read book The Prudential Regulation of Banks written by Mathias Dewatripont and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1994 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prudential Regulation of Banks applies modern economic theory to prudential regulation of financial intermediaries. Dewatripont and Tirole tackle the key problem of providing the right incentives to management in banks by looking at how external intervention by claimholders (holders of equity or debt) affects managerial incentives and how that intervention might ideally be implemented. Their primary focus is the regulation of commercial banks and S&Ls, but many of the implications of their theory are also valid for other intermediaries such as insurance companies, pension funds, and securities funds. Observing that the main concern of the regulation of intermediaries is solvency (the relation between equity, debt, and asset riskiness), the authors provide institutional background and develop a case for regulation as performing the monitoring functions (screening, auditing, convenant writing, and intervention) that dispersed depositors are unable or unwilling to perform. They also illustrate the dangers of regulatory failure in a summary of the S&L crisis of the 1980s. Following a survey of banking theory, Dewatripont and Tirole develop their model of the capital structure of banks and show how optimal regulation can be achieved using capital adequacy requirements and external intervention when banks are violated. They explain how regulation can be designed to minimize risks of accounting manipulations and to insulate bank managers from macroeconomic shocks, which are beyond their control. Finally, they provide a detailed evaluation of the existing regulation and of potential alternatives, such as rating agencies, private deposit insurance, and large private depositors. They show that these reforms are, at best, a complement, rather than a substitute, to the existing regulation which combines capital ratios with external intervention in case of insolvency. The Prudential Regulation of Banks is part of the Walras Pareto Lectures, from the Universiy of Lausanne.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes and compares the laws of selected industrial countries that are representative of the different approaches to the treatment of banks in distress. It addresses only those banking and economic policy issues that are required for a proper understanding of the banking law or the legal strategies, procedures, and practices that have evolved in the treatment of banking problems. The book does not cover international aspects of bank insolvency, but rather has a domestic focus, given that bank regulation and supervision are still largely a national endeavor.

Book excerpt: This paper investigates the impact of financial reform on bank efficiency. More specifically, we distinguish between financial liberalization measures and measures of the quality of bank regulation measures, and study their relationship to bank efficiency separately. Moreover, we analyze whether the impact of financial liberalization on bank efficiency is conditional on the quality of prudential regulation of the banking system. We apply stochastic frontier analysis to calculate bank efficiency at the individual bank level and use a new and detailed database that measures different aspects of financial reform. The dataset consists of a sample of over 26,000 bank-year observations from 41 countries for the period 1996-2002. Overall, we find support for the positive impact of financial liberalization policies, as well as for the quality of bank regulation, on bank efficiency. Moreover, we show that the impact of financial liberalization policies is conditional on the extent to which bank regulation has been adopted.
