Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The Czech banking sector has undergone a fairly dramatic development due to the large number of non-performing loans, which remain a problem for the banking industry. The industry is now driven by restructuring as a consequence of privatisation. There is a strong domination of Western banks in the market, which are successfully focusing an the banks' profitability. Efficiency is increasing through the implementation of electronic banking, associated with the closure of bank branches. The banks show a strong customer orientation, which facilitates a change in their income structure: moving away from income generated by interest towards that generated from fees and charges. Competition between the Czech banks is beginning to show similar patterns to competition in the Western markets. Although the main opportunities for entering the Czech banking market, including privatisation, are gone, some remain. The emergence of the competitive room is a result of the commonly pursued strategy of large, universal banks. These niche markets can be accessed more easily by foreign banks that take advantage of their existing structures, which in turn leads to better economies of scale. One segment with high potential is the property market. The economical development, together with the likely EU accession, facilitates high stability. Particularly suitable is the commercial properties sector. A bank carrying out activities in this market would operate at a lower credit risk than others. Retail opportunities result from the excess liquidity in the Banking industry. The high volume of primary deposits could be directed towards asset management services, such as life insurance and private pension. Famous foreign brands stand a better chance of winning peoples' trust. At the moment, there are too many restrictions preventing the banks from carrying out these activities. This will change with the Czech Republic's EU accession. There is an emerging personal loan market with high margins but a credit-rating agency for individuals is missing. The forthcoming EU integration will decrease the general risk in both corporate and private lending. The stable and growing economy provides a good basis for the expansion of banking activities and exploitation of the emerging market premiums provided they are emerging.

Download or read book Foreign Banks written by Mr.Stijn Claessens and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper introduces a comprehensive database on bank ownership for 137 countries over 1995-2009, and reviews foreign bank behavior and impact. It documents substantial increases in foreign bank presence, with many more home and host countries. Current market shares of foreign banks average 20 percent in OECD countries and 50 percent elsewhere. Foreign banks have higher capital and more liquidity, but lower profitability than domestic banks do. Only in developing countries is foreign bank presence negatively related with domestic credit creation. During the global crisis foreign banks reduced credit more compared to domestic banks, except when they dominated the host banking systems.

This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.

Download or read book Cross Cutting Themes in Advanced Economies with Emerging Market Banking Links written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-11-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recent decade has seen a growing presence of banks headquartered in advanced economies (AEs) expanding into emerging markets (EMs). These expansions have brought some benefits to both home and host countries, but the global financial crisis has also unmasked significant vulnerabilities inherent in such relationships. In keeping with past cross-cutting themes papers, this paper focuses on the experiences of four medium-sized ?home countries,? each with significant retail banking links to EMs—Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. These countries were chosen because of their banks' diverse approaches to EM expansion (including the centralization of their funding models) and equally diverse crisis outcomes (fears over Eastern European exposures resulted in extraordinary policy efforts to maintain bank lending), providing fertile ground for analysis and for drawing lessons in the future.

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.
