Book Synopsis The Interconnection Between Government Economic Policies and Capital Markets Influences on Fixed Income Markets in Kenya by : Dennis Ikua
Download or read book The Interconnection Between Government Economic Policies and Capital Markets Influences on Fixed Income Markets in Kenya written by Dennis Ikua and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 4.0, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of government economic policies and capital markets forces on fixed income markets in Kenya. The research was guided by three research questions were to determine the effects of fiscal policy on fixed income markets, to determine the effects of monetary policy on fixed income markets, and to determine the effects of capitals markets’ forces on fixed income markets. The research was designed as an explanatory study with quantitative data that was collected from the official website of Central Bank of Kenya as well as from the website of Nairobi Securities Exchange. Data was collected for a period of five years beginning October 3, 2012 and ending on October 2, 2017. The data included the central bank rate, fiscal deficit, Kenya NSE Govt. Bond Index, and the computed spread between the market-weighted average rate (ask) and the weighted average of accepted bids (bid). Data analysis used multiple linear regression model, correlation analysis, and covariance analysis. Data analysis was conducted in Microsoft Excel using XLSTAT features. Findings of the study on the effects of fiscal policy on fixed income markets indicate that fiscal deficits, and therefore the fiscal policies, had a weak correlation with the performance of fixed income markets. A weak correlation indicated that there was a limited extent to which fiscal policies can be used in explaining movements in the fixed income markets. Monetary policy has a strong effect on the level of interest rates in the fixed income markets. The implications of this finding were that the monetary policy announcements, mainly announcements on central bank rate, can be used in predicting the direction of interest rates charged on treasury bills by the investors. However, the monetary policy announcements had a limited impact on the spread between the market-weighted average rate (ask) and the weighted average of accepted bids (bid) indicating the existence of a random walk in the determination of prices of Treasury bill instruments. On effects of capitals markets’ forces on fixed income markets, FTSE NSE Kenya Govt. Bond Index has little to no impact on the interest rates charged on Treasury bill instruments in the primary market. The findings indicate that the performance of the FTSE NSE Kenya Govt. Bond Index would not be an accurate predictor of the level of interest rates for treasury instruments in Kenya.

Book excerpt: Capital markets play critical in facilitating countries' economic growth and prosperity. Proper functioning capital markets are vital for mobilizing investments capital and providing efficient avenue for foreign investments. In Kenya, the role of capital markets framework has been appreciated by numerous policy frameworks including the Kenya Vision 2030 blueprint. In the recent years, Kenya's capital markets have grown in leaps and bounds to become an integral component of the country's financial system and a key driver of economic growth. Some of these developments include the introduction of the junior trading market targeting small and medium enterprises and the operationalisation of the Futures Exchange to enable trading in hedging products. Islamic capital markets products have equally gained popularity and the Exchange Traded Funds framework has been developed. This paper chronicles the developments of the equity, debts and derivative capital markets in Kenya. A case is made on the need to tap the huge unexploited potential in the sector in order to facilitate rapid economic growth. The paper conducts a review of the capital markets laws and policy documents and makes a case for the county governments to use the capital markets framework for county financing through issuance of securitized products such as asset-backed securities. In conclusion, a need to sensitize and create public awareness is needed in order to boost the uptake of the capital markets in the country.

Book Synopsis The New Stock Market by : Merritt B. Fox
Download or read book The New Stock Market written by Merritt B. Fox and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. stock market has been transformed over the last twenty-five years. Once a market in which human beings traded at human speeds, it is now an electronic market pervaded by algorithmic trading, conducted at speeds nearing that of light. High-frequency traders participate in a large portion of all transactions, and a significant minority of all trade occurs on alternative trading systems known as “dark pools.” These developments have been widely criticized, but there is no consensus on the best regulatory response to these dramatic changes. The New Stock Market offers a comprehensive new look at how these markets work, how they fail, and how they should be regulated. Merritt B. Fox, Lawrence R. Glosten, and Gabriel V. Rauterberg describe stock markets’ institutions and regulatory architecture. They draw on the informational paradigm of microstructure economics to highlight the crucial role of information asymmetries and adverse selection in explaining market behavior, while examining a wide variety of developments in market practices and participants. The result is a compelling account of the stock market’s regulatory framework, fundamental institutions, and economic dynamics, combined with an assessment of its various controversies. The New Stock Market covers a wide range of issues including the practices of high-frequency traders, insider trading, manipulation, short selling, broker-dealer practices, and trading venue fees and rebates. The book illuminates both the existing regulatory structure of our equity trading markets and how we can improve it.
Book Synopsis Emerging Capital Markets and Globalization by : Augusto de la Torre
Download or read book Emerging Capital Markets and Globalization written by Augusto de la Torre and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-10-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the early 1990s, economists and policy makers had high expectations about the prospects for domestic capital market development in emerging economies, particularly in Latin America. Unfortunately, they are now faced with disheartening results. Stock and bond markets remain illiquid and segmented. Debt is concentrated at the short end of the maturity spectrum and denominated in foreign currency, exposing countries to maturity and currency risk. Capital markets in Latin America look particularly underdeveloped when considering the many efforts undertaken to improve the macroeconomic environment and to reform the institutions believed to foster capital market development. The disappointing performance has made conventional policy recommendations questionable, at best. 'Emerging Capital Markets and Globalization' analyzes where we stand and where we are heading on capital market development. First, it takes stock of the state and evolution of Latin American capital markets and related reforms over time and relative to other countries. Second, it analyzes the factors related to the development of capital markets, with particular interest on measuring the impact of reforms. And third, in light of this analysis, it discusses the prospects for capital market development in Latin America and emerging economies and the implications for the reform agenda.

Book Synopsis Capital Market Integration by : Mr.Masafumi Yabara
Download or read book Capital Market Integration written by Mr.Masafumi Yabara and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital markets in the East African Community (EAC) face common challenges of low capitalization and liquidity, but to different degrees. EAC member countries have made noticeable progress in developing domestic capital markets through a regional approach, removing constraints on capital transactions and harmonizing market infrastructure. Nevertheless, empirical analysis suggests capital market integration has not deepened during the past few years in the EAC, although convergence of investment returns is taking place to some extent. Learning from the experience of the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, EAC countries would benefit from four actions to accelerate financial market integration: (i) further harmonize market infrastructure; (ii) strengthen regional surveillance mechanisms; (iii) encourage local currency bond issuance by multilateral financial institutions; and (iv) build the capacity of the existing regional institutions.

Book Synopsis Financial Regulation in Africa by : Iwa Salami
Download or read book Financial Regulation in Africa written by Iwa Salami and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the global financial crisis, there has been a worldwide search for alternative investment opportunities, away from advanced markets. The African continent is now one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the world and represents a viable destination for foreign direct and portfolio investment. This book, which is the first comprehensive analysis of financial integration and regulation in Africa, fills a huge gap in the literature on financial regulation and would constitute an invaluable source of information to policy makers, investors, researchers and students of financial regulation from an emerging and frontier markets perspective. It considers how financial integration can facilitate African financial markets to achieve their full potential and provides a comparative study with the EU framework for financial integration and regulation. It assesses the implementation of effective and regional domestic infrastructures and how these can be adapted to suit the African context. The book also provides an assessment of government policies towards the integration of financial regulation in keeping with the regional agenda of the African Union (AU) and the African Economic Community (AEC).
