Book excerpt: Papers from a September 1996 conference held in Tallinn, Estonia, examine progress made on macroeconomic stabilization and financial sector reform in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe. They relate microeconomic experiences to the broader macroeconomic context of reform, and emphasize that macro reform is underpinned by micro and institutional reform, especially in the financial sphere. Subjects include bank and enterprise restructuring and implications for corporate governance and company performance, and the performance of fixed exchange rate regimes in the post- stabilization phase of transition.

Download or read book Financial Reforms in Eastern Europe written by Kanhaya Gupta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a model which simulates the effects of financial reforms in transitional economies, which is then applied to Poland for a variety of policy simulations. The authors develop models for households, commerical banks and firms, expanding their enquiry into the government sector, the central banking sector, the external sector and finally the supply side. These sub-sector models explicitly incorporate institutional features specific to the Polish economy. The estimated model is used to simulate the effects of a wide array of financial policies introduced in Poland, and these results are then used to assess the effectiveness of the policies analyzed. This timely and authoritative study sheds new light on how a country's overall economic system responds when it pursues a 'big-bang' approach to marketization.

Book excerpt: General experience suggests a positive and causal link between financial development and economic growth. Is this already the case in Serbia with its quite distinct political and economic transition? Drawing from successful financial sector transition in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), we discuss ongoing reforms in South Eastern European Countries (SEE) with a specific focus on Serbia. We find that recently tightened bank regulation and supervision, and growing foreign involvement in Serbia, follows the positive experience from CEE in a way that is conducive to economic development.

This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial industries in central, eastern and south-eastern Europe have undergone dramatic changes over the past decade. Foreign direct investment contributed to the development of market-oriented banking and financial systems able to support the rapid pace of economic growth in these countries. Policymakers, academics and private sector analysts have contributed to this volume with their stimulating insights on a broad range of issues, from recent credit booms to the cross-border integration of banking and capital markets. Anyone who wants to understand how finance, growth and financial stability interact in transition economies should read this book. Mario Draghi, Governor of the Banca d Italia and Chairman of the Financial Stability Forum This book highlights the achievements and challenges of the ongoing process of financial integration in Europe. The financial integration of Europe is both welcomed as an economic driving force and watched with concern as a source of potential stability. After all, changing financial, regulatory and corporate ownership structures are fuelling competition, capital mobility and financial intermediation, but at the same time creating new systemic risks. With a special focus on Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the contributors to this book explore a wide spectrum of underlying issues, including the finance-growth nexus, credit boom patterns, the implications of foreign bank entry modes, lessons learned from old EU member states and commercial bank strategies. Authoritative views from central bank officials and policymakers are complemented with a special focus on empirical and econometric evidence from academia as well as practical insights from key financial market players. This unique collection will be of great interest to economists and experts in the fields of financial markets and European integration from central, commercial and investment banks, governments, international organizations, universities and research institutes.
