Download or read book Banking and Financial Stability in Central Europe written by David Green and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002-04-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...this book would be suited to lawyers and non-lawyers alike. In addition, it provides an interesting look at the EU banking system and the systems of Central and Eastern European countries.' - Ellie Palmer, Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation The eastwards expansion of the European Union is one of the most explosive economic and political issues of the early 21st century. Economic and financial stability combined with rising prosperity in the applicant countries are increasingly seen as necessary preconditions for European Union membership. This authoritative volume, written by scholars and practitioners from Central and Western Europe and the United States, confronts the issues involved in three of the countries most likely to be successful applicants to the EU - the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia. A spotlight is turned on the banking and financial industries, as they are crucial to the achievement of economic stability. The blend of expertise deployed, which draws on in-depth knowledge and extensive experience in central banking, financial and commercial law, business, practical policy making and economic analysis, ensures that this book is timely, relevant and insightful. The authors suggest that the role of the state in both creating and maintaining an effective financial sector is central. Furthermore, they argue that well-regulated commercial banks and strategic foreign investors are a must as, in practice, the attempt to skip straight to modern capital markets has been ruinous. This accessibly written volume will be of interest to students and scholars of economics, finance, law, political science, the sociology of economic life and European studies.

Download or read book From Reform to Growth written by Vít Novotný and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economic crisis that began in 2007 has posed huge challenges for European citizens and governments. The crisis has shown that the financial sector has not been adequately regulated and supervised, that governments and individuals have overspent, and that European economies are suffering from structural problems. This book, a collaboration between the Centre for European Studies and its member foundations, assesses government responses to the crisis at the national, EU and regional levels, and also offers policy recommendations. Governments should work with one another and with EU institutions to improve bank supervision and regulatory mechanisms. They should undertake fiscal consolidation measures, bearing in mind that government deficits and debt incur costs that burden future generations. Finally, they should undertake structural reforms such as creating flexible labour markets, increasing the retirement age and shaping efficient public institutions.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: A, University of Flensburg, language: English, abstract: European Union consists of a unique integration model not only due to the long term and ongoing process but also because of the Institutions and regulations under 27 Member States, which attempt to comprise and mostly to harmonize the national laws. Especially after Maastricht Treaty, when the supranational building of the EU was introduced plenty of reforms had introduced in order to increase from the one hand the effectiveness of the complicated and bureaucratic body of EU and from the other hand to control the way that European Union and the individual Member States function in a more effective and productive way. After the adoption of a single currency- the Euro- for sixteen of the Members of the EU in parallel of the important enlargement the structural body of the EU became even more complicated that needed the consistent control whether structural reforms had to be introduced in order the effective function of the EU was to be assured. Under these circumstances, the financial sector is of the greatest importance within the EU as it is -so far- the basement of the integration model and consists of the guardian of deepening integration within the EU. Therefore, the supervision and the reforms in financial services within EU has increased dramatically from 1993, after the Maastricht Treaty and the introduction of supranationality, through 2004-with the great Eastern enlargement and finally until now that the current financial crisis consisted a shock for EU, that attempted to implement new measures and to establish institutional changes in order to supervise the financial sector effectively in a long term.
