Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1933 and 1956, the United States sharply limited the kinds of securities activities, commercial activities, and insurance activities banks could engage in. The regulations imposed on banks back then remain in place despite profound changes in the economic environment, in the structure of the national and international financial markets, and in technology. In this span of time many industries, especially those confronting global competition, have transformed themselves dramatically in their efforts to survive and prosper. Not so in the American financial services sector, banks have largely remained stuck in an antiquated regulatory structure which has placed the burden of responding to the needs of market-driven structural change on the shoulders of the regulators and the courts in a constant search for loopholes in the law. The purpose of this book is to evaluate the case for and against eliminating the barriers that have so long existed between banking and other types of financial services in the United States. Universal Banking in the United States studies the consequences of bank regulation in the U.S. as it relates to competition in international financial markets. Anthony Saunders and Ingo Walter examine universal banking systems in other countries, especially Germany, Switzerland, and the U.K., and how they work. They then apply the lessons to U.S. banking, paying particular attention to the benchmarks of stability, equity, efficiency, and competitiveness against which the performance of national financial systems should be measured. In the end, the authors propose the outlines of a level playing field on which any number of forms of organization can grow in the financial services sector, in which universal banking is one of the permitted structures, and where regulation is linked to function.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the origins of modern corporate finance systems during the rapid industrialization period leading up to World War I; leading to three sets of conclusions. First, modern financial systems are rooted in the past, are idiosyncratic to specific countries and are highly path-dependent. Therefore, to understand current financial institutions, we must take stock of the forces at play in the near and distant past. Second, financial institutions and markets do not create economic growth without significant first steps in industrial development and supporting institutions. Third, and most important from the modern policy standpoint, there is no 'one-size-fits-all' solution to financial system design and industrial development. Having specific types of financial institutions is far less important than developing a strong, stable and legally protected financial system with a rich diversity of institutions and vibrant markets that can adapt to changing needs.

This book was released on 1995-12-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book provides ample food for thought for professionals as well as observers on the situation in India." --The Economic Times The pace at which a country develops economically depends to a great extent on the rate at which new innovations are introduced by entrepreneurs. However, such innovations are possible only if the country's financial system facilitates, stimulates, and promotes the entrepreneurial function. It is this strategic role of the financial or banking systems that forms the core of Financial Systems, Innovations, and Development. The impact of the financial system on a country's economic growth, author V. V. Bhatt stresses, depends on its capacity to introduce financial innovations, whereas the nature of these financial innovations depends on the specific historical and socioeconomic/political context of a given country. This highly readable and informative text formulates, for the first time, a sound analytical framework that links financial innovations to the development process. It also presents an integrated account of different financial systems in a historical and comparative framework and suggests both the desirable and the likely pattern of evolution of the financial system in different developing countries. Financial Systems, Innovations, and Development will attract a wide readership including those involved in the fields of banking and finance, development economics, industrial development, and entrepreneurship and development studies.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Börse, Versicherung, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The banking scenario in Ghana has been changing at fast pace from being just the borrowers and lenders, traditionally, to more differentiated and customized product/service provider. The sector has moved from regulation to liberalization in the 1990s, and from planned to market economy. The Ghanaian banking has come a long way from being a sleepy business institution to a highly proactive and dynamic entity. This transformation has been largely brought about by the large dose of liberalization and economic reforms that allowed banks to explore new business opportunities rather than generating revenues from conventional streams (i.e. borrowing and lending). The competition heated up with the entry of private and foreign banks. Deregulation and globalization resulted in increased competition that refined the traditional way of doing business. The banks have realized the importance of a customer centric approach, brand building and IT enabled solutions. In the fierce battle for market share and mind share, the most potent weapon is a strong, well recognized and trusted brand name. Brands attract and convince people that they will get what is promised. Banking today has transformed into a technology intensive and customer friendly model with a focus on convenience. The companies have redoubled their efforts to woo the customers and establish themselves firmly in the market. It is no longer an option for a bank to provide good customer service, it is expected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the key lessons of financial history for emerging market and developing economies, mostly drawn from when OECD economies themselves were industrializing and did not possess the checks, balances, and supervisory capabilities they have today. The topics include the role of central banks, debates on how to make banking secure and sound, the relative efficiency of universal banking (compared with the Anglo-American commercial banking model), and the role of savings banks, nonbanks, and securities markets in development.
