Download or read book Banking Law and Climate Change Key Legal Issues written by Mario Tamez and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the intersection of climate change policies with banking supervisory law. Statutory mandates define banking supervisory agencies’ objectives, functions and powers. Policies that aim to address climate change risks appear fully germane to banking supervisors’ main objective of safety and soundness. As such, banking supervisory agencies have a duty to address climate risks in light of their mandate. A mandate that is not anchored on safety and soundness in light of best practice would blur the accountability of banking supervisory agencies and undermine their legitimacy also with respect to climate. While legal changes can help provide greater legal certaintly, particularly given the long-term perspective of climate change, bank supervisory agencies can take action without fundamental reforms of their legal framework. Accordingly, they have set expectations or requirements for banks to incorporate climate into their strategy and business model, risk management, and governance. A combination of legal instruments—based on soft law and hard law—helps to achieve this objective. Notwithstanding implementation challenges, taxonomies and disclosures remain important tools, and banking supervisors should assess their role in the development of such tools in light of their mandate. The key responsibility to address climate risks rests on banks, and corporate governance frameworks could assist.

Download or read book State Capitalism written by Lalita Som and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crises emanating from the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 Pandemic have underscored, the emergency role of the State and its smooth, seamless reactivation, for situations when private activity and markets are disrupted. In many countries, SOEs have been a crucial part in delivering on that effort as agents of the State. While SOEs are increasingly sought to play a role during emergency situations, evidence suggests that they misallocate capital and mismanage resources. This is indicative of the conflicts of interests in owning and regulating enterprises as well as between the commercial and non-commercial objectives of SOEs, crony capitalism, the private agenda of public officials, internal management of SOEs, the significant role played by state owned banks and financial institutions and the conflicts that arise in the State's primary role vs. its ownership of enterprises. The studies of eight countries from different regions undertaken for this book, provide answers to these key policy questions related to state capitalism. Generalizing from the results of multi-country studies to arrive at universally applicable predictions, prescriptions, and policy recommendations, is inherently difficult. Individual countries are quite different in their socio-economic, historical, political, and institutional circumstances. So are their experiences, as the eight country studies highlight, even as the book attempts to extrude, from available research, the principal common characteristics of, and practices followed by, successful SOEs independently of country context. Among other conditions, the two most important conclusions that can be drawn from the country studies are that competition and regulation rather than ownership per se is key to efficiency.

Download or read book Business and Politics in Asia s Key Financial Centres written by J. J. Woo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides unique insights into the politics of finance and the socio-political relations which drive financial policymaking in Hong kong, Singapore, and Shanghai. While the existing literature in the field focuses mainly on economic explanations for financial centre development, this book fills a gap by focusing on the socio-political relations which underpin the financial policy-making process. Drawing on extensive interviews with senior policy-makers and financial sector professionals, the book describes how state-industry relations drive financial policy-making in three major financial hubs. Insights and policy recommendations drawn from these interviews will be particularly useful for policy-makers and financial sector professionals hoping to draw lessons from the successful development of the three leading Asian financial centres. Business and Politics in Asia's Key Financial Centres draws on public policy theoretical frameworks for its analytical basis. The three chapters focusing on the historical development of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai also provide a consolidated narrative with regard to the development of these three cities as leading financial centres, while also serving as independent case studies. Scholars focusing on policy processes and political factors that underpin financial sector development, as well as instructors and students of public policy, international political economy, and financial sector policy, will find this book useful for their research.

Download or read book What do we do now written by Virgilio Reyes Pineda and published by VIRGILIO REYES PINEDA. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where Did We Go Wrong? That is the first question. In its answer, we expose one enigma and four mistakes that led to this disastrous political and economic crisis. What Do We Do Now? That is the crucial question. After we discovered that our crisis was due more to the good that we had failed to do than to the bad that we had done, we presented strategic objectives and strategies to overcome the bad and enhance the good. This book expresses the hope of a nation that has fallen into a crisis but is repentant and wants to rectify and regain its freedom. Venezuelans desire to return to their country instead of being unwanted asylum seekers, creating a humanitarian crisis wherever they go. However, it seems that nothing will change if the insensitive generals/admirals do not join in first, for they are in power positions supporting the regime. They could, if they wanted, end the crisis, and return to the institutions because the soldiers they command, as well as their families, are the ones who truly experience the struggles and hardships faced by the common people. In freedom, mothers remain silent when the clarion call of the country cries but in dictatorship, their hearts sense that when the moment of truth arrives, the general will abandon their soldier son and run to hide in some military museum, because of money he reached that rank. Chavezism is collapsing! and so is the people’s psychology, for they are no longer afraid. In this book, the author proposes ideas and solutions to reconceptualize Venezuela.

Download or read book Management Education in India written by Manish Thakur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume problematizes different facets of management education in India---pedagogy, curricula, and disciplinary and institutional practices---from the perspective of the Global South. The essays in this volume bring out the institutional challenges of crafting a relevant academic programme that converses with both national specificities and global realities. Coming from diverse academic specializations, the contributors traverse the interface of their respective disciplines with management education. In doing so, they engage with the ongoing global debate on management education. This volume fills a noticeable gap of serious, scholarly reflection on the state of management education. While there have been sporadic reflections and occasional critiques, a critical stocktaking of the institutional and disciplinary aspects of management education has been long wanting. This volume is of interest to scholars and practitioners of management education across the globe, and is likely to generate debate on its contemporary relevance and future trajectory.
