Download or read book Corporate Governance of Banks in Libya written by Ali Elfadli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a response to a relative lack of academic research into corporate governance and especially corporate governance disclosure in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Specifically, the author explores recent developments in corporate governance disclosure produced by Libyan commercial banks. Along with other corporate governance mechanisms, disclosure plays an essential role in discharging accountability to and protecting shareholders, enhancing corporate performance and reducing the risk of financial crises. In order to improve corporate governance disclosure, it is necessary to understand the context in which it takes place. The MENA countries have unique characteristics, and those involved in the Arab Spring have been affected in different ways. This book provides up to date research into corporate governance disclosure in the context of Libya following the Arab Spring. The banking sector plays a crucial role in the Libyan economy and has specific characteristics which make corporate governance more important than in other sectors, yet research in this sector is rare. Furthermore, the banking sector in Libya has seen significant corporate governance reforms in recent years. As one of the most significant oil producing countries, Libya’s political and business environments have been dramatically affected by the Arab Spring. The author discusses how banks have responded to these reforms and the ways in which their corporate governance disclosure has evolved.

Download or read book The Law of Securitisations written by Pierre de Gioia Carabellese and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book The Law of Securitisations: From Crises to Techno-sustainability provides a full and detailed account of the EU legislation in the area of structured finance with the new legal rules dissected and discussed in their full extent. Securitisation transactions have been identified in the literature among the main reasons for the 2007–2008 financial crisis, alongside derivative contracts. More than a decade later, the EU legislature passed in 2017 a legal framework comprehensively disciplining the area of securitisations in the EU. On such a background the main purpose of the book is to discuss and analyse, in a holistic way, both the rationale behind the securitisations as financial transactions and their main players (e.g. originators, SPVs and credit rating agencies) and their "ESG" (Environmental, Social and Governance) challenges, particularly the recent regulation passed in the EU during the 2020–2021 global pandemic. The goal of this legal analysis is to identify and clarify the entire legal process of securitisations, as a result of the new EU legislation, as well as duties, responsibilities and practices incumbent on the main players. Furthermore, the monograph is also concerned with the new challenges facing financial markets and their regulation: the new concept of sustainability and the development of technology. In this scenario, there is a blend of financial issues, new environmental challenges and, ultimately, the role human beings are expected to play, also from a social justice perspective. Adopting not just doctrinal methodology but also comparative (from a private law perspective) and interdisciplinary (regulatory and law and economics), the authors also include a discussion of the main literature which has blossomed over the last two decades on structured finance transactions, particularly the literature that unveiled, a decade ago, the concept of shadow banking. This book will be one of the first to focus on the new EU Securitisation Regulation and will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners of financial law.

Download or read book The Boardroom written by Peter Verhezen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books about corporate governance are written for a Western audience. The Boardroom, however, takes a different approach to leadership development by emphasizing the unique socio-cultural and judicial features as well as idiosyncratic board structures in Asia, particularly in an Indonesian context. The principles of good corporate governance are accepted across borders, but the implementation and translation of transparency, fairness, accountability, and responsibility can differ quite distinctly from one country to another. Amidst global competitive turbulence, socio-economic volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty, The Boardroom analyses how Asian boardroom leaders steer organizations and how boards can be more effective. Boardmembers - appointed and entrusted by their owners - are guardians with a fiduciary duty to safeguard an organization and prepare it for a viable and sustainable future. Business managers, investors, academics, students and those interested in doing business in Asia will benefit from The Boardroom’s practical insights and recommendations to improve corporate governance and strengthen competitive advantage. "The Boardroom" - a book written by my predecessor Dr Tanri Abeng and his co-author Prof. Dr. Peter Verhezen who both combine practical experience and academic in-depth research - gives a good overview of what can and should be expected from a board. The authors describe the generic accepted governance principles, but rightfully claim the need to translate them into specific rules and regulations that make sense for Indonesian and other Asian companies. Erick Thohir, The Minister of State-Owned Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia Understanding the dynamics of successful organizations is like being on a quest. It probably never ends. Organizations are open and social systems that cannot be managed or governed using simple theories and recipes. Hence, this book invites you to start your own leadership journey and become more mindful of your role in the functioning of a company.
