Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the widely-held view of the merits of the 'bank-based' German system of finance for investment, and shows that this view is not supported by evidence from the post-war period. The institutional features of the German system are such that universal banks have control of voting rights at shareholders' meetings due to proxy votes, and they also have representation on companies' supervisory boards. These features are claimed to have two main benefits. One is that the German system reduces asymmetric information problems, enabling banks to supply more external finance to firms at a lower cost, and thus increasing investment. The other is that German banks are able to mould and control managements of firms on behalf of shareholders, and thus ensure that firms are run efficiently. This book assesses whether empirical evidence backs up these claims, and shows that the merits of the German system are largely myths.

Download or read book How does the Bad Bank Concept Influence the Commercial Banks Ability and Willingness to Increase Commercial Lending in Germany written by Alexej Antropov and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Munich, course: International Finance & Accounting, language: English, abstract: During the Financial Crisis 2007-2010, which was the result of housing bubble in the United States in 2006, commercial banks rapidly decreased the amount of commercial lending worldwide. So called subprime credits made the assets of commercial banks less worth during a short period. It was the cause for the credit crunch in many economies. Because many enterprises have to rely on debt capital, which they lend from commercial banks to finance their investments, the credit crunch hit such enterprises very hard. The outcome is that the whole economy suffers. Many governments elaborated the bad bank concept to solve the problem of decreased commercial lending, also Germany. It means, that banks will be allowed to start special purpose vehicles (SPV) for holding the subprime credits and to bring such subprime credits out of the balance sheet of the bank. In Anglo-Saxon countries there are two other terms in use for SPV: (loan) recovery agency and asset management company. According to Homoelle, Ruff and Tuerr1 in theory and praxis there are many variants of bad bank models existing. Until now the question which model is most successful, became insufficient exploration. German government adopted two different models of bad banks and proposed the Financial Market Stabilisation Act (FMStFG), which became effective on July 22th 2009.2 After that some banks used this opportunity and transferred their subprime assets to such SPV. The scope of the work is first to evaluate why exactly commercial banks decreased the commercial lending, second to analyse German bad bank concept and then to work out the incentives of this concept for more commercial lending by commercial banks and to show some examples of implementation of bad bank concept by German banks. At the end the answer on the question, whether the bad bank concept increases the ability and willingness of German commercial banks to make more commercial credits available or not, will be given in this term paper.

Book excerpt: This paper evaluates the risks and vulnerabilities of the German financial system and reviews both the German regulatory and supervisory framework and implementation of the common European framework insofar as it is relevant for Germany. The country is home to two global systemically important financial institutions, Deutsche Bank AG and Allianz SE. The system is also very heterogeneous, with a range of business models and a large number of smaller banks and insurers. The regulatory landscape has changed profoundly with strengthened solvency and liquidity regulations for banks (the EU Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive IV), and the introduction of macroprudential tools.

Book excerpt: This is a clear guide to the German financial system. It begins by outlining its historical development, emphasising the growth of close ties between the banking system and industry, and goes on to describe in details the nature of the credit institutions in general and the money and capital markets. The book emphasizes the crucial role played by the autonomy of the Bundesbank and it explains with clear illustrations the instruments available to it to conduct monetary policy. It analyses the type of monetary target adopted by the Bundesbank in the early 1970s and deals with the 'transferability' of the West German financial system to other countries. Wherever relevant, parallels and differences between that system and the ones operating in the US and UK are pointed out.
