Book Synopsis The Incomplete European Market for Financial Services by : Paolo Cecchini
Download or read book The Incomplete European Market for Financial Services written by Paolo Cecchini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking back over the last decade it can be said with some justification that sig nificant progress has been achieved on the way towards fully integrated financial markets in Europe. The 1993 Internal Market initiative and the Euro introduction in 1999/2002 constitute important milestones. The integration process has further been intensified by market developments like the surge in mergers and acquisi tions and by technological innovations like internet based distribution. As a result, some market segments today do no longer have a national character. Nevertheless, this success should not obscure the fact that integration of financial services markets is still a long way from the level of integration that exists within national markets. Particularly for retail financial services national borders still constitute a considerable de facto barrier. The absence of frequent direct cross border links between financial service providers and retail consumers holds true despite the fact that the Euro has made product comparisons easier and that the internet has reduced information costs to a considerable extent.

Book Synopsis European Securities Markets:The Investment Services Directive and Beyond by : Guido Ferrarini
Download or read book European Securities Markets:The Investment Services Directive and Beyond written by Guido Ferrarini and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1998-03-04 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union is moving towards the full implementation of the Investment Services Directive (ISD). Indeed, in some Member States, further changes to the domestic legal framework to increase competition among financial institutions and markets will complete or complement its implementation. This book includes updated papers written by academics and practitioners from Europe and the United States and presented at the Genoa Seminar on European Investment Markets, held in November 1996. Several papers examine critical aspects of the ISD from a comparative viewpoint, in particular considering the appropriateness of further harmonisation. The regulation of financial exchanges in the new competitive arena and the need for cooperation between supervisors receive special attention. Its evaluation of the economic impact of ISD implementation and consideration of further perspectives makes European Securities Markets one of the first and most comprehensive publications on the ISD implementation. The volume will interest and educate all those involved in European securities and derivatives markets in either a legal or economic capacity, including banking and financial lawyers, financial economists, regulators, exchanges and intermediaries.

Book Synopsis Integration of European Banking by : Pedro Pita Barros
Download or read book Integration of European Banking written by Pedro Pita Barros and published by Centre for Economic Policy Research. This book was released on 2005 with total page 123 pages. 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.

Consequently, the book strikes a balance between abstract theory, empirical analysis, and practitioner, and policy-related material. The Handbook is split into five parts. Part I, The Theory of Banking, examines the role of banks in the wider financial system, why banks exist, how they function, and their corporate governance and risk management practices. Part II deals with Bank Operations and Performance. A range of issues are covered including bank performance, financial innovation, and technological change. Aspects relating to small business, consumer, and mortgage lending are analysed together with securitization, shadow banking, and payment systems. Part III entitled Regulatory and Policy Perspectives discusses central banking, monetary policy transmission, market discipline, and prudential regulation and supervision. Part IV of the book covers various Macroeconomic Perspectives in Banking. This part includes a discussion of systemic risk and banking and sovereign crises, the role of the state in finance and development as well as how banks influence real economic activity. The final Part V examines International Differences in Banking Structures and Environments. This part of the Handbook examines banking systems in the United States, European Union, Japan, Africa, Transition countries, and the developing nations of Asia and Latin America.

Book Synopsis Integrating Europe's Retail Banking Market by : Stefanie Kleimeier
Download or read book Integrating Europe's Retail Banking Market written by Stefanie Kleimeier and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report offers a comprehensive survey of recent empirical research on the state and development of retail banking integration in Europe. The authors, Stefanie Kleimeier and Harald Sander, document a broad consensus that retail banking integration is still limited, although it seems to have recently gained momentum. Kleimeier and Sander find, however, that there is less agreement on how to measure the phenomenon. They warn that the various types of integration measures should be interpreted with care, due to their shortcomings and in order to avoid jumping to the wrong policy conclusion. In their view, the recent acceleration in integration has been driven mostly by wholesale financial market integration and more general financial developments. The authors conclude that integration policies need to be supplemented by competition, financial development, and financial stability policies.

Book Synopsis Competition Law and Financial Services by : David Harrison
Download or read book Competition Law and Financial Services written by David Harrison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competition law underpins the market economy by prohibiting anti-competitive agreements and practices, and the abuse of dominant positions in the market. Until the financial crisis it was widely assumed that the financial services industry was highly competitive. This book explores the extent to which this is the case. By analysing crisis and pre-crisis competition law cases and examples from the UK, the EU and around the world, David Harrison asks whether there exists good reason for financial services to be treated differently from the rest of the market economy. The theory of market efficiency is not borne out in practice. He particularly draws upon John Maynard Keynes in examining the differences between price mechanisms in product markets for "normal" goods, and price mechanisms in financial and investment markets where expectations of the future tend to play a greater role, leading to greater price fluctuations. In this evaluation, the book examines aspects of the practical functioning of capital markets such as the phenomenon of herding behaviour by financial participants, how short-term behaviour by intermediaries can be to the disadvantage of savers and productive investment, the relationship between investment markets and product markets and the extent to which the same competition rules apply to undertakings involved in both. The book will be invaluable to students, researchers and practitioners of banking and finance law, and commercial and competition law. .

Book Synopsis European Financial Services Regulation by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Treasury Committee
Download or read book European Financial Services Regulation written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Treasury Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-06-08 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU's ambitious Financial Services Action Plan, started in 1999, is drawing to an end. A single market in wholesale financial services exists. Many retail financial services institutions are expanding through acquisitions of banks and insurers across Europe, though the prospect of a single market in such services, with comparable products and services available to consumers direct across borders, is not a realistic proposition in the near future. The Commission has set out its policy objectives for 2005-2010, attaching greater importance to consistent and workable implementation of existing legislation. The Committee welcomes this, and the commitment to ensure that any new regulation will have a clear benefit to the European economy. The Committee examined three specific case studies: implementation of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), the consideration of a Clearing and Settlement Directive, and consideration of mortgage credit in the context of the development of a single market in retail financial services. In all the Commission will need to demonstrate its commitment to "better regulation", and its new focus on implementation and enforcement. The Committee is concerned that MiFID will not be implemented consistently across Europe. It finds that the case for a new mortgage directive remains unproven, and that there is a clear need to reduce the additional costs associated with clearing and settlement across borders.
