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 Unfinished Business written by Axel Wieandt and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The banking system in Europe is large in relation to the economy. It is characterized by universal banking, and driven by a significant number of globally active national champions that are systemically important. Banks perform a vital role for the economy. But their leverage and deposit funding makes them inherently vulnerable to bank runs. Axel Wieandt's role as former CEO of Hypo Real Estate, which he assumed immediately after the Lehman crisis in the fall of 2008, makes him uniquely placed to both examine the causes of the current situation of the European banking system and make suggestions for getting it back on track. His starting point is a comprehensive description of the European banking system and an analysis of the role of banks in the economy. He goes on to examine the root causes and implications of the Great Financial Crisis for the European banking system. He argues for full implementation of Banking Union with greater emphasis on market discipline and accountability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. The regulation of network industries has emerged as a key issue on the European policy agenda, yet there is little high-quality research capable of informing the European policy debate. The Monitoring European Deregulation (MED) series was launched by CEPR and SNS in 1997 and features new, policy-oriented research on the liberalization of the European markets of the major network industries (previous reports have focused on telecommunications and electricity). Addressed to a wide audience of both academics and European decisionmakers in the private-sector and policy communities, at both the national and EU level, the new reportwhich focuses on the deregulation of the European banking systemwill play an important role in influencing current thinking on these issues and contributing to the policy debate.

Download or read book Cost and Profit Dynamics in Financial Conglomerates and Universal Banks in Europe written by Rudi Vander Vennet and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the U.S. where universal banking is legally prohibited, the Second Banking Directive has allowed European banks to form financial conglomerates and hold equity stakes in non-financial companies. The question is whether these conglomerates and universal banks are an efficient organizational structure. This paper analyzes the cost and profit efficiency of European banks subdivided according to their degree of diversification, conglomeration, and universality. We find that financial conglomerates are more revenue efficient than their more specialized competitors and that the degree of both cost and profit efficiency is higher in universal banks than in non-universal banks. These results indicate that the current trend towards further despecialization may lead to a more efficient banking system. Finally, the profit regressions show that operational efficiency has become the major determinant of bank profitability and that oligopolistic rents have become less prevalent in European banking.
