Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists have come to acknowledge that finance matters for development more, and in more ways than had been recognized for a long time. Changes in the financial services industry are providing immense possibilities for economic development. Grais and Kantur present a framework to help understand the changes occurring in the financial landscape. They also attempt to lay out the opportunities and the challenges the Middle East and Northern Africa region faces in light of these changes. The framework views financial development as a two-way, continuous, and dynamic interaction between, on the one hand, three driving forces shaping the industry and, on the other hand, four stylized dimensions of financial services. These driving forces jointly modify the financial landscape and are at the same time influenced by the effects of these changes. The three driving forces are financial liberalization, technological changes, and market innovation in response to demands for financial services. The four dimensions of financial services that are altered by the forces at play are disintermediation, institutionalization, modernization, and globalization. The authors provide a strategic perspective on the opportunities and challenges the profound changes in the financial industry bring to the Middle East and North Africa region, its policymakers, and market participants.

Download or read book Banking Supervision at the Crossroads written by Thea Kuppens and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the consequences for banking supervision of two stylized developments that over the last decade have characterized the global financial landscape: the integration of cross-sector and cross-border financial services. Both developments inevitably call for a supervisory response and the authors discuss what form and direction this should take. They also address a number of other important subjects including the new Capital Accord (Basel 2), the convergence of supervisory practices, procyclicality, financial conglomerates, deposit insurance and a brief history of the interplay between banking supervision and bank behaviour. The important practical and theoretical issues highlighted in this volume clearly demonstrate that banking supervision currently stands at a crossroads. The detailed, objective discussions of these themes and the sensible conclusions drawn will undoubtedly help policymakers to decide which path to take. The original contributions from high-level practitioners and academics from around the world will also be of great interest to commercial bankers, and academics and researchers of banking, finance and monetary economics.

Download or read book The Changing Landscape of Global Financial Governance and the Role of Soft Law written by Friedl Weiss and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Changing Landscape of Global Financial Governance and the Role of Soft Law provides interdisciplinary perspectives on the changing landscape of global financial governance by exploring the impact and role of soft law, directly or as a precursor of hard law, pertaining to financial governance. Since the shaping of financial governance impacts national, regional and global levels of regulation, different views and arguments contribute to the ongoing discussions about financial regulation. Against this background, this book brings together perspectives of economists and lawyers who have not rallied to one or the other popular call for more regulation as a panacea for the prevention of future global financial crises, calls which have all but drowned out more nuanced scientific debates. Instead, their analysis of aspects of remedial regulatory policy prescriptions already made or proposed demonstrates that carefully designed soft law can be deployed as a valuable method or tool of mediation between the unrestrained autonomy of dysfunctional markets and overzealously crafted hard law.

Download or read book Financial Supervision in the 21st Century written by A. Joanne Kellermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial crisis prompted financial supervisors to take a critical look at their own performance. The "toolkit" available to supervisors is considerably more varied than it was a few years ago. Supervision has become more forward-looking, taking into account also soft controls, such as ‘conduct and culture’, corporate governance, and business models of financial institutions. This collection of essays discusses several significant changes in supervision methods and supervisory organisations and examines what methods contribute to ‘good supervision’ and what can reasonably be expected of supervisors. The authors are experts in the field and most of them are affiliated to organisations responsible for financial supervision.

Download or read book A Behavioral Approach to Financial Supervision Regulation and Central Banking written by Ashraf Khan and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes how behavioral elements are relevant to financial supervision, regulation, and central banking. It focuses on (1) behavioral effects of norms (social, legal, and market); (2) behavior of others (internalization, identification, and compliance); and (3) psychological biases. It stresses that financial supervisors, regulators, and central banks have not yet realized the full potential that these behavioral elements hold. To do so, they need to devise a behavioral approach that includes aspects relating to individual and group behavior. The paper provides case examples of experiments with such an approach, including behavioral supervision. Finally, it highlights areas for further research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the rapid evolution of the U.S. financial sector and attendant regulatory challenges, this paper explores ways to fine-tune U.S. oversight arrangements. It surveys the financial landscape, separating a highly regulated, multi-business, and (in terms of relative asset holdings) shrinking “core” from a lightly regulated, more specialized, and rapidly expanding “periphery”; explains the U.S. regulatory philosophy and structure, with its focus on core institutions and its jurisdictional complexity; highlights certain new challenges, without presuming to have all the solutions; draws out some broad policy implications, from the “30,000 foot level”; and concludes by tabling and discussing one, specific, reform idea.

Download or read book Politicians and Financial Supervision Architectures written by Donato Masciandaro and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years we have witnessed a deep change in the design of all the institutions that are responsible for supervising banking and financial markets. The financial supervision scenario is going through a deep evolution on all fronts, and many countries have made important changes in the overall architecture, redefining who is responsible for what.How is the conventional face of supervision changing in all the segments of financial markets? And what are the determinants of one supervisory regime versus another? Our standpoint focuses on the role that politicians can play in reshaping the regime, given that, as a matter of fact, they take the decision to maintain or reform an institutional setting.The paper is organized as follows. In Section Two we describe the actual landscape of the financial supervision architecture in a cross-country perspective. In Section Three we discuss the role that political preferences play in determining the shape of the supervisory setting. The empirical analysis in Section Four allows us to shed light on the factors affecting the choice of supervisory regimes. We discuss the case of Italy in Section Five, while Section Six attempts some preliminary conclusions.

Download or read book Umbrella Supervision and the Role of the Central Bank written by Joseph G. Haubrich and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deregulation and financial consolidation have led to the development of financial holding companies--allowing commercial banking, insurance, investment banking, and other financial activities to be conducted under the same corporate umbrella--and the Federal Reserve has been named supervisor of the consolidated enterprise. This Policy discussion paper will show that there likely are economies of scope between the Fed's inherent central-banking responsibilities and those of an umbrella supervisor and that these dual roles benefit both the Fed and functional regulators.

Download or read book Designing Financial Supervision Institutions written by Donato Masciandaro and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first systematic discussion of a new and promising field: the economics of independence, accountability and governance of financial supervision institutions. For a long time the design of supervision had been an irrelevant issue, both in theory and practice. This perception changed dramatically in the mid-1990s, and over the past decade many countries have witnessed changes in the architecture of financial supervision. This book presents frameworks for analyzing the emerging supervisory architectures and sheds light on the different supervisory regimes, with a particular focus on the role of central banks. It takes a country-specific, comparative and empirical approach. Designing Financial Supervision Institutions will be an accessible reference tool for multidisciplinary scholars and academics (principally economics, but also politics and law), policymakers, regulators and supervisory institutions. All royalties from this book to go to the UK charity, NSPCC.

Download or read book The Roles of Big Data and Machine Learning in Bank Supervision written by Julapa Jagtiani and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big data and advanced algorithms using machine learning (ML) have changed the way financial products and services are produced, delivered, and consumed, and they have a potential to change the entire financial landscapes. Along with providing customers with better, faster, and cheaper services, big data and ML are being used by financial firms to improve the effectiveness and reduce the costs of regulatory compliance. These new powerful analytical tools come with the new types of risks, including third-party vendor risk, model risk, and cyber security risk. While the supervisory process will adapt over time to the new financial landscapes, bank supervisors will continue to expect users of these complex tools to follow sound principles in managing their risks. There will be no one-size-fits-all compliance solution across the various AI tools, and, in most cases, the initial compliance questions should be based on pre-existing frameworks that were intentionally crafted to be technologically neutral. Financial supervisors' interest goes beyond ensuring compliance with existing regulations -- to understand how these tools are changing the financial system for better and worse.

Download or read book European Banking Supervision written by André Sapir and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European banking supervision, also known as the Single Supervisory Mechanism, is the first and arguably the main component of European banking union. In late 2014, the European Central Bank became the supervisor for the region's largest banking groups; the ECB also oversees the supervision by national authorities of smaller banks. This Blueprint is the first in-depth study of how this ground-breaking reform is working in practice. Despite teething troubles and occasional misjudgements, this assessment finds that overall European banking supervision has been effective, demanding and broadly fair, at least for the banks under the ECB's direct watch. Even so, achieving a truly single market in banking services will require more time, further supervisory initiatives and new Europe-wide regulatory and legislative steps.

Download or read book Basel Core Principles and Bank Risk written by Ms.Enrica Detragiache and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies whether compliance with the Basel Core Principles for effective banking supervision (BCPs) is associated with bank soundness. Using data for over 3,000 banks in 86countries, we find that neither the overall index of BCP compliance nor its individual components are robustly associated with bank risk measured by Z-scores. We also fail to find a relationship between BCP compliance and systemic risk measured by a system-wide Zscore.
