Download or read book Banking Regulation in Africa written by Folashade Adeyemo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is little literature on the development of banking regulation in Nigeria, or the scope of powers of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which is its core banking sector regulator. The critical impetus of this book is to contribute to the literature of this area, with a detailed exploration of the Nigerian regulatory architecture. In addition, the book also engages in a comparative analysis with two emerging economies in Africa: South Africa and Kenya. It also considers the UK and the US as comparator jurisdictions in light of their regulatory responses to the global financial crisis of 2008. This book contributes to the ongoing discourse in this area by exploring, in detail, the theoretical underpinnings of regulation and supervision, to determine whether there is an understanding of what constitutes effective regulation in these jurisdictions. Given that Nigeria is the core jurisdictional focus, a historical account of banking exchanges from the pre-colonial era to more recent times is provided. Offering an understanding of how political, local and economic settings, in conjunction with the theories of regulation, have impacted and influenced regulatory development in Nigeria, the book engages in an examination of Nigeria’s historical experiences with bank failures, including the banking crisis it experienced in 2008. The newly enacted Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act 2020 is also explored as part of this discourse. Through a critical analysis of the law, the book demonstrates that the Nigerian regulator has historically adopted a reactionary strategy, instead of a proactive and pragmatic approach, which is imperative for an effective regulatory regime. The outcome of this analysis is that there are lessons to be learned, and proposals are discussed in order to rethink the act of banking regulation.

Download or read book The Role of Prudential Regulation of Banks in Promoting Financial Stability written by Mulalo Tshikovhele and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial crises of the past have proven that prudent and effective systems of bank regulation are crucial in preserving and maintaining a resilient financial system. Banks play a significant role in the economic environment and their stability and soundness is imperative to prevent financial crises. Changes in the market and developments in banking practices have increased the risk exposures of banks. Through the contagion effect, the failure of one bank may have far-reaching consequences for other banks and the financial system as a whole. Essentially, enhanced and effective banking regulation is pertinent to safeguard the financial system. As a regulatory response to these financial crises, capital and liquidity requirements of banks have been developed and adopted internationally, over the years, with the purpose to preserve the integrity of the global financial system. These frameworks of international banking regulation have been adopted through the Basel Accords, which are premised on strengthening the resilience of banks to withstand financial pressures. The 2008 Global Financial Crisis prompted the need to revise the previous regulatory instruments, resulting in the introduction of the latest international regulatory framework known as Basel Ill. In South Africa, these international standards of banking regulation have been transposed into the relevant legislative instruments regulating banks in a proactive effort to enhance and preserve the stability of banks. This dissertation discusses the aspect of bank regulation and how prudential regulation, as a regulatory tool, contributes to the promotion of financial stability. The study critically discusses the capital and liquidity requirements of banks as set out in the Basel Accords and analyses their ability, as mechanisms of prudential regulation, to preserve a resilient financial system. The dissertation further considers how these international standards of banking regulation have been adopted into South African law. This is done by considering the legislative and regulatory instruments regulating banks and the role of the South African Reserve Bank in facilitating compliance by banks.
Download or read book Effectiveness of Prudential Regulations for Banks written by Ashish Srivastava and published by Eliva Press. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banking regulations aim to strengthen financial stability and promote policies that foster safety, consistency, reliability, fairness, and inclusion in the financial products and services offered by banks. The context of discussions in this book, spread over five carefully selected chapters, is the Indian financial system with a global perspective. It highlights the need for continual improvement in the effectiveness of regulatory and supervisory processes to achieve stability, transparency, and robustness in financial institutions and financial markets. The effectiveness of prudential regulations depends upon the institutional credibility, deterrents, and enforcement mechanism. Moreover, prudential regulations should maintain pace with the time and changing dynamics of the financial system. Putting in place clear, uncomplicated regulations, and shunning complexity in the regulatory and supervisory processes helps in achieving the intended outcomes. Besides, inadequate internal controls, false assumptions about markets and liquidity, and lack of due diligence processes in financial institutions contribute to their failures and hence, it is a regulatory challenge to incentivize the banks to join the regulators in pursuit of effective risk optimization, and achieving the common good of a stable, fair, and efficient financial system. Liquidity remains a crucial focus of prudential regulations and it is important to understand the behavioural biases such as overconfidence, linear extrapolation, confirmation bias, and group-think, which hamper effective liquidity risk management in regulated institutions. An increasingly expanding toolkit of the perpetrators of financial crimes as a latent malfunction of global integration of financial systems and the advent of digital transactions is another matter of concern for regulators requiring enhanced focus on the gatekeepers. Finally, the financial innovations and technological advancements in the world of alternative finance require an appropriate regulatory structure that facilitates an orderly growth of alternative finance within the traditional financial landscape. This book offers a crisp reading on these key areas and presents a nuanced approach to improve the effectiveness of the prudential regulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enhanced review of Senegal’s financial sector is one of several pilot reviews called for by the Executive Board in May 2012. The purpose of the reviews is to go beyond the traditional surveillance focus on banking system soundness and solvency by analyzing in more depth the interplay between financial development, macroeconomic and financial stability, and effectiveness of macroeconomic policies in low-income countries. Senegal is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union; a number of key macroeconomic and financial policies are designed and implemented at the union level. This study focuses on Senegal-specific issues. Another pilot study, to be prepared in the context of the next annual consultation on regional policies in early 2013, will focus on union-wide issues.

This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
