Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economy has experienced four waves of rapid debt accumulation over the past 50 years. The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging market and developing economies. During the current wave, which started in 2010, the increase in debt in these economies has already been larger, faster, and broader-based than in the previous three waves. Current low interest rates mitigate some of the risks associated with high debt. However, emerging market and developing economies are also confronted by weak growth prospects, mounting vulnerabilities, and elevated global risks. A menu of policy options is available to reduce the likelihood that the current debt wave will end in crisis and, if crises do take place, will alleviate their impact.

Download or read book The Effects of Global Financial Crisis on Indian and Pakistan s Banking Sector written by Syed Mohammed Abud Ashif and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent economic crises have shown the impact not only to the well-developed banking sector but also to the developing banking sector in the emerging economies. This study seeks to investigate a comparative analysis of evolution of technical efficiency of commercial banks in India and Pakistan during the recent economic crises (2004-2010). Using Data Envelopment Analysis, we measure the technical efficiencies of each bank in the sample, which further decomposes to provide pure technical efficiency (PTE) and scale efficiency scores (SE).The parametric technique like t-Test and two non-parametric techniques Mann Whitney test and Krushka wallys test are employed for comparing the means of the obtained DEA result. As a robustness check, the technical efficiency score is further examined by the second stage regression model which accommodates to provide the relationship factor of bank specific variable, macro-economic & market condition and some binary variables to account for financial crises and stability. The empirical finding suggests that Indian banks' mean TE score exceeds higher than that of Pakistan banking sector and the changes in efficiency measure been seen higher in Pakistan banking sector. So in general, Pakistan banking sector efficiency is heavily affected from the financial crises than the Indian banking sector and former always remain more technically efficient in the period under study. Furthermore, mean PTE in both banking sector deteriorates relatively in a constant rate during the crises and post crises period, whereas mean SE improved in Pakistan banking sector than Indian banking sector. The result of multivariate regression analysis has exhibited liquidity risk, bank overhead cost, ROAA, and bank capitalization being positively related with technical efficiency. Conversely, bank size, loan default and non-interest expenses over asset variables exhibits negatively related with both banking sector efficiency. However, the regression analysis has shown Pakistan banking sector being more financially stable than the Indian banking sector in terms of efficiency during the crises period. Hence, the dual banking system is seen as more efficient and stable compare to the single banking system and thus single banking system should urge to seek the introduction of Islamic banking as economically viable and financially stable for the banking sector of a country.

Download or read book Financial Performance of Pakistani Banks After the Implementation of Reforms written by Tahera Kalsoom and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pakistani banking industry has been facing a series of successes and failures after the implementation of reforms. The financial institutions of the developing countries such as Pakistan have suffered after the onset of global financial crisis from 2009-2016. Whilst studies have been performed in many other countries to assess banking sector's performance after the crisis, limited efforts exist in the context of Pakistani banking industry, particularly in relation to stock price changes and credit risk. This work is therefore, aimed to fill this gap by studying the effects of financial reforms implemented in early stages of recession on the efficiency of Pakistani banks in the past eight years. Measures of profitability, liquidity, capital and credit quality performance using five financial ratios; Return on Assets (ROA), Cost/Income ratio (C/I), Loan Loss Reserves/Gross Loans ratio (LLR/GL), Total Loans/Total Assets ratio (TL/TA) and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), and their impact on stock price changes of the five banks are used to characterise the performance of the banks in the period of 2009-2016. The data is organized using panel data technique and multiple regression is adopted for the analysis. The results indicate a significant change in banks' performance after the global financial crisis, having the highest impact in 2011 with declining profitability and poor credit performance. Later years have seen stabilized banking conditions with increased profitability and control on Non-Performing Loans by reducing provisions of risky loans. The stock price changes have revealed a positive relationship with ROA and least positive relationship with CAR, whereas a negative relationship has been found with LLR/GL and TL/TA. Moreover, it is observed that the market considers ROA and C/I in decision making as the results have shown a highly positive correlation of these ratios with stock prices. It also depicts that investors show no particular interest in credit risk and have focused on profitability of the banks instead. This suggests that the regulators in the country should revisit their priorities to come at par with investors and market interests by reducing their focus on decreasing the credit risk.

It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection.

Download or read book A Decade after the Global Recession written by M. Ayhan Kose and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year marks the tenth anniversary of the 2009 global recession. Most emerging market and developing economies weathered the global recession relatively well, in part by using the sizable fiscal and monetary policy ammunition accumulated during prior years of strong growth. However, their growth prospects have weakened since then, and many now have less policy space. This study provides the first comprehensive stocktaking of the past decade from the perspective of emerging market and developing economies. Many of these economies have now become more vulnerable to economic shocks. The study discusses lessons from the global recession and policy options for these economies to strengthen growth and prepare for the possibility of another global downturn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The crisis has deeply impacted virtually every economy in the world, and although growth has returned, much progress in the fight against poverty has been lost. More difficult international conditions in the years to come will mean that developing countries will have to place even more emphasis on improving domestic economic conditions to achieve the kind of growth that can durably eradicate poverty.� —Justin Yifu Lin, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President The World Bank 'Global Economic Prospects 2010: Crisis, Finance, and Growth' explores both the short- and medium-term impacts of the financial crisis on developing countries. Although global growth has resumed, the recovery is fragile, and unless business and consumer demand strengthen, the world economy could slow down again. Even if, as appears likely, a double-dip recession is avoided, the recovery is expected to be slow. High unemployment and widespread restructuring will continue to characterize the global economy for the next several years. Already, the crisis has provoked large-scale human suffering. Some 64 million more people around the world are expected to be living on less than a $1.25 per day by the end of 2010, and between 30,000 and 50,000 more infants may have died of malnutrition in 2009 in Sub-Saharan Africa, than would have been the case if the crisis had not occurred. Over the medium term, economic growth is expected to recover. But increased risk aversion, a necessary and desirable tightening of financial regulations in high-income countries, and measures to reduce the exposure of developing economies to external shocks are likely to make finance scarcer and more costly than it was during the boom period. As a result, just as the ample liquidity of the early 2000s prompted an investment boom and an acceleration in developing-country potential output, higher costs will likely yield a slowing in developing-country potential growth rates of between 0.2 and 0.7 percentage points, and as much as an 8 percent decline in potential output over the medium term. In the longer term, however, developing countries can more than offset the implications of more expensive international finance by reducing the cost of capital channeled through their domestic financial markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the global economy is emerging from the collapse triggered by COVID-19, the recovery is likely to be subdued, and global GDP is projected to remain well below its pre-pandemic trend for a prolonged period. Several risks cloud the outlook, including those related to the pandemic and to rapidly rising debt. The pandemic has further diminished already-weak growth prospects for the next decade. Decisive policy actions will be critical in raising the likelihood of better growth outcomes while warding off worse ones. Immediate priorities include supporting vulnerable groups and ensuring a prompt and widespread vaccination process to bring the pandemic under control. Although macroeconomic policy support will continue to be important, limited fiscal policy space amid high debt highlights the need for an ambitious reform agenda that bolsters growth prospects. To address many of these challenges, global cooperation will be key. Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group Flagship Report that examines global economic developments and prospects, with a special focus on emerging market and developing economies, on a semiannual basis (in January and June). The January edition includes in-depth analyses of topical policy challenges faced by these economies, while the June edition contains shorter analytical pieces.

There was notable variation across the WBG, with vastly increased IBRD lending, moderately higher IDA financing, and overall responses from IFC and MIGA that were not counter-cyclical. The differences reflected the interplay of financial capacities, business models, and available instruments. While the level of financial flows is one aspect of crisis response
