Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAFTA & Canadian Banking Law details the ramifications that have occurred over the past two decades in terms of banking law in Canada due to the Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which was reformed to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The evidence pro-posed highlights the contribution to the continental process of industrial restructuring and its relationship to laws and regulations that were born to continuous rise in living standards. The context focuses on the path-breaking chapters in the NAFTA treaties that introduced the world to new measures in dealing primarily with financial sectors in the economy. Primarily how these measures affected bilateral agreements amongst Canada and the United States of American, and Canada and Mexico. Students, lawyers, and academics in the fields of finance and commerce will find this book of continuous reference.
Download or read book International Trade in Financial Services The NAFTA Provisions written by K. Schefer and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the new and rapidly developing area of law relating to trade in financial services, with a particular focus on the rules contained in Chapter 14 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). After a detailed analysis of the relevant provisions and their effect on financial institutions in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the author examines the impact of the NAFTA rules on the legal position of banks operating in countries outside NAFTA, particularly in the context of the WTO financial services provisions. The book concludes with a chapter on the effects of a potential NAFTA expansion. The book aims to contribute to the development of a new legal and regulatory framework distinct from those of trade and financial services law, and offers a valuable insight into how trade in financial services within a regional trade agreement develops its own legal dynamic. Although the financial services provisions are seen as the cornerstone of NAFTA, until now there has been very little in-depth analysis of these provisions, or of the effects on those not party to NAFTA, in the literature in general. This book's unique approach will make it of considerable interest to practitioners and researchers in international banking, trade and economic law.
Download or read book Regulation and Supervision of Financial Institutions in the NAFTA Countries and Beyond written by George M. von Furstenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect at the start of 1994, production and trade in goods and services have become ever more integrated in the region. Banking and financial systems thus also must increasingly inform, adjudicate, transact, invest, insure, and intermedi ate all across North America. Presently, however, there is no single, or up to-date source of information on the banking and finance systems of the current NAFTA countries-Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Relying on top specialists from international financial organizations, central banks, regulatory authorities, and universities, this and a companion volume together bridge that information gap. The focus is not just on description but on regulatory and institution-building challenges posed by the opening up of domestic financial markets, and on the political economy of reforms. The ultimate goal is to enhance the process of safe and efficient integration by policies, regulations, and private initiatives that contribute to the welfare of people in North America and beyond. This volume goes into essential detail in assessing banking and finance regulations, supervision, and prudential and operating standards in the NAFTA countries in a global context.

Download or read book Cross Border Bank Branching Under the NAFTA written by Eric J. Gouvin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Article examines a question left unresolved after the negotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA): whether the banks of the member countries should be permitted to engage in the business of banking in the other member countries simply by branching across national borders. Under present law, the United States permits branching subject to extensive restrictions, while Canada and Mexico permit access to their banking markets only by acquisition or establishment of institutions chartered in their countries. While the NAFTA does not provide for unfettered branching across national borders, article 1403(3) of the NAFTA left the issue of cross-border branching open to subsequent negotiation. The question of whether the NAFTA countries should embrace cross-border branching may be informed by the recent U.S. experience in establishing nationwide branching. Just as the debate within the United States was based in part on principles of corporate law, so too should the international debate. Although enterprise principles from the law of corporate groups would weigh in favor of permitting branching as opposed to the more formal corporate structure requirements now in place, the member countries may each find that the existing structure provides their banks with certain non-tariff barriers to trade that they may be reluctant to surrender. In addition, when viewed through a public choice lens, the regulators in each of the countries, and especially the United States, will be reluctant to give up regulatory authority without getting something in return.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Canada s Widely Held Rule for Large Banks written by Eric J. Gouvin and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When NAFTA was first adopted, both Mexico and Canada negotiated protectionist provisions designed to ensure that the largest banks in the two countries remained under domestic control. Over time the Mexican scheme has been changed by domestic legislation, but Canada clings to a protectionist policy for its largest banks (known under the Canadian regulatory scheme as quot;Schedule Iquot; banks). Under current Canadian law, no one shareholder group can own more than 10% of the stock in a Schedule I bank. This provision is known as the quot;widely heldquot; rule. Parliament is currently considering a broad revision of the Bank Act, under which the widely held rule will be liberalized, but will not be eliminated. Oddly, while the widely held rule looks like a classic piece of rent-seeking legislation designed to benefit the Canadian banking industry, in fact the big Canadian banks no longer desire the protection of the rule and would prefer that it be eliminated. Other political, economic, and social concerns in Canada, however, have weighed in favor of retaining the rule. This article examines the political economy of the widely held rule and discusses its possible future implications for Canadian banks.

This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the impact of NAFTA on growth and business cycles in Mexico. The effect of the agreement in spurring a dramatic increase in trade and financial flows between Mexico and its NAFTA partners, and its impact on Mexican economic growth and business cycle dynamics, are documented with reference both to stylized facts and recent empirical research. The paper concludes by drawing lessons from Mexico's NAFTA experience for policymakers in developing countries. The foremost of these is that in an increasingly globalized trading system, bilateral and regional free trade arrangements should be used to accelerate, rather than postpone, needed structural reform.
