Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the establishment of the Bundesanstalt fuer Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin) in May 2002 Germany followed the trend towards integrated financial supervision. The main reason for unification of supervision is the growing integration of financial sectors leading to the blurring of boundaries between banking, insurance and securities activities. The aim of this paper is to analyse the development of Allfinanz, and hence the driving forces for the creation of the single supervisory authority in Germany. Moreover, BaFin's tasks and structure are discussed.

Book excerpt: Die Zusammenlegung von Banken-, Versicherungs- und Wertpapieraufsicht zu einer Behorde liegt seit einigen Jahren international im Trend. Diese Studie untersucht aus rechtsvergleichender Perspektive, wie das Allfinanzaufsichtskonzept in Deutschland und Groabritannien implementiert wurde, und welche Auswirkungen dies auf die Beaufsichtigung von Finanzkonglomeraten hat. Die Unterschiede zwischen Deutschland und Groabritannien bei der Regulierung von Finanzkonglomeraten werden anhand einer Reihe von historischen, wirtschaftlichen, kulturellen und politischen Faktoren erklart. Daruber hinaus zeigt die Arbeit, dass eine integrierte Aufsichtsstruktur, die lediglich durch administrative Verschmelzung sektoraler Zustandigkeiten geschaffen wird, zu inkoharenten und belastenden Regeln fuhren kann, wenn dabei die verschiedenen Aufsichtsziele, -methoden und -regeln nicht harmonisiert werden. Daher ist eine solche Struktur unter Umstanden nicht dazu geeignet, die potenziellen Vorteile der integrierten Finanzaufsicht nutzbar zu machen. Die Arbeit richtet sich insbesondere an Wissenschaftler und Praktiker, die auf dem Gebiet der Finanzregulierung tatig sind.

This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, there has been a clear trend toward integrating the regulation and supervision of banks, nonbank financial institutions, and securities markets. This paper reviews the international experience with integrated supervision. We survey the theoretical arguments for and against the integrated supervisory model, and use data on compliance with international standards to assess the validity of some of these arguments. We find that (i) full integration is associated with higher quality of supervision in insurance and securities and greater consistency of supervision across sectors, after controlling for the level of development; and (ii) fully integrated supervision is not associated with a significant reduction in supervisory staff.

This book was released on 2016-06-29 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The financial crisis exposed dangerous weaknesses in the regulatory and oversight structure that need to be urgently corrected to restore confidence in the financial system and to keep the single market alive. Towards this end, this CEPS Task Force report puts forward three main policy recommendations to the EU: 1) The European Council should formally mandate the High-Level Expert Group on EU financial supervision to analyse the optimal structure of financial oversight and propose concrete steps leading to a European System of Financial Supervisors, 2) A European Financial Institute should be created to lay the groundwork for the establishment of the European System of Financial Supervisors and 3) The European System of Financial Supervisors should be given definitive target date to commence operations."--Publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the intense debate on the advantages and disadvantages of adopting integrated supervision that has taken place in recent years, little is known about the experiences of countries that have adopted it and the obstacles and challenges they have faced to implement it. In an attempt to shed light on this area, de Luna Martinez and Rose present the results of a survey conducted in a group of 15 countries that have adopted integrated supervision. After a brief review of the literature on integrated supervision, the authors examine four topics:- The reasons cited by this group of countries for establishing an integrated supervisory agency.- The scope of regulatory and supervisory powers of these agencies.- The progress of these agencies in harmonizing their regulatory and supervisory practices across the intermediaries they supervise.- The practical problems faced by policymakers in adopting integrated supervision.The survey revealed that the group of integrated supervisory agencies is not as homogeneous as it seems. Important differences arise with regard to the scope of regulatory and supervisory powers the agencies have been given. In fact, contrary to popular belief, less than 50 percent of the agencies can be categorized as mega-supervisors. Another finding is that in most countries progress toward the harmonization of prudential regulation and supervision across financial intermediaries remains limited. Interestingly, the survey revealed that practically all countries believe they have achieved a higher degree of harmonization in the regulation and supervision of banks and securities companies than between banks and insurance firms. The survey also identified some practical problems faced by this group of countries in establishing their unified supervisory agencies. The authors discuss these problems, along with the practical lessons and recommendations provided by the 15 agencies to other countries considering integrated supervision, in the final section of the paper.This paper - a product of Financial Sector Operations and Policy Department - is part of a larger effort in the department to analyze recent developments in financial sector regulation and supervision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany has a comprehensive legislative and institutional framework for the effective supervision of the securities markets. The overall level of compliance with the IOSCO principles is high. There are significant industry concerns about the implementation costs resulting from a rapidly changing legislative framework. The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin’s) overall approach to supervision relies very heavily on the flow of information, auditors’ reports, and compliance with legislative obligations. Regulators at both the federal and state levels work with a clear legal framework and clearly defined powers and responsibilities.

Download or read book Financial Supervision in Europe written by Jeroen J. M. Kremers and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial Supervision in Europe discusses the implications of financial market integration for the structure of financial supervision in the European Union. It argues that, at present, negotiations on a European system of supervisors might lead to a compromise that may prove sub-optimal given the evolution of national supervisory models and international financial markets. As integration continues and the most appropriate national supervisory models emerge from a best practices approach, a reform of the organisational structure of supervision in Europe may become necessary. The contributors provide an overview of different arguments surrounding this discussion, and illustrate that several improvements to the present structure of supervision are possible. These include proposals to facilitate the evolution of national models, and concepts to strengthen co-ordination in supervision and in establishing clear procedures in crisis management. Detailing financial market developments in Europe and the US, the book questions the incentives for national supervisory authorities to monitor cross-border activities, to exchange information and to take into account the impact of their dealings with the financial systems of other countries. Classifying models for the organisational structure of financial supervision in Europe, this book will be of great interest to finance ministries, supervisory authorities, central banks and financial institutions. Students, lecturers and researchers of banking and finance will also find the book to be of importance.

Download or read book Financial Sector Assessment written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experience of many countries around the world clearly shows that while financial sector development can spur economic growth, financial fragility and instability can seriously harm growth. Following the financial crises of the late 1990s, there has been increasing interest in the systematic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of financial systems, with the ultimate goal of formulating appropriate policies to foster financial stability, and stimulate financial sector development. Consequently, there has been an increased demand from financial sector authorities in many countries, as well as from the Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff for information on key issues, and sound practices in the assessment of financial systems, and in the design of policy responses. This Handbook of Financial Sector Assessment is a response to this demand. The Handbook presents an overall analytical framework for assessing financial system stability and developmental needs, providing broad guidance on approaches, methodologies, and techniques of assessing financial systems. Although the Handbook draws substantially on Bank and IMF experience with the financial sector assessment programs (FSAPs), and from the broader policy and operational work in both institutions, it is designed for generic use in financial sector assessments, whether conducted by country authorities themselves, or by Bank and IMF teams. It is, therefore, hoped the Handbook will serve as an authoritative source on the objectives, analytical framework, and methodologies of financial sector assessments, as well as a comprehensive reference book for training on the techniques of such assessments.
