Book Synopsis Importance of Basel III for lending alternatives to SMEs by : Daniel Hosp
Download or read book Importance of Basel III for lending alternatives to SMEs written by Daniel Hosp and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1, University of Innsbruck, course: Aktuelle Themen in Banking and Finance, language: English, abstract: Basel III is currently on everyone’s lips. Some weeks before the introduction of the first requirements it is still not fully clear how and which parts of it will be implemented. Several studies about the impact of Basel III on bank loan availability for small and medium sized companies (SMEs ) do exist (e.g. McKinsey (2010)) which have shown that the introduction of those new regulatory requirements hamper the access for SMEs to sufficient sources of funding. This raises the question if these restrictions for bank lending can be substituted by some alternative funding source or if the availability of external finance to SMEs will be constrained under Basel III. This seminar paper focuses on the lending alternatives apart from bank loans and the possibility of gathering additional equity capital. This is basically the so called asset based finance. Thereby the paper concentrates on European SMEs as long as their conditions are quite similar to those of Austrian SMEs and the introduction of Basel III can be expected to be most strict for European financial institution and thus may hit those SMEs the most. Before starting with the explanation of different lending alternatives the importance of SMEs for the global economy should be pointed out. The importance is especially present in Europe. SMEs account for two third of the total employment in the EU-27 area and they generated more economic growth from 2002 to 2008 than large firms did (Oxford Economics, 2011). Moreover they represent 99% of all businesses that exist in Europe (European Commission, 2005). So SMEs are the main driver of economic growth, employment and wealth in Europe. Apart from that each single SME does not have a systematic risk and they were also not responsible for the current financial crisis. Thus SMEs should generally be supported to sustain growth and employment. Nevertheless the rules of Basel III may have highly negative influences on their financing possibilities which moreover has a negative effect on the real economy...
Book Synopsis The New Basel Capital Accord and SME Financing by : Rym Ayadi
Download or read book The New Basel Capital Accord and SME Financing written by Rym Ayadi and published by Centre for European Policy Studies. This book was released on 2005 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Basel Capital Accord, implemented in 1988, was aimed at ensuring the soundness and stability of the international banking system. The new accord, Basel II, which is planned for implementation in December 2006, is intended to strengthen the framework for dealing with credit risk. This book provides an informative analysis of what Basel II means for the small and medium-sized enterprize (SME) sector in Europe and its impact on its credit financing conditions. It also presents a detailed analysis of how banks formulate an internal rating system and illustrates how this system works in practice. Finally, it concludes with the key measures that should be taken by banks, SMEs, and public policymakers to improve financing in the new rating culture.
Book Synopsis Basel III and Bank-Lending: Evidence from the United States and Europe by : Mr.Sami Ben Naceur
Download or read book Basel III and Bank-Lending: Evidence from the United States and Europe written by Mr.Sami Ben Naceur and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using data on commercial banks in the United States and Europe, this paper analyses the impact of the new Basel III capital and liquidity regulation on bank-lending following the 2008 financial crisis. We find that U.S. banks reinforce their risk absorption capacities when expanding their credit activities. Capital ratios have significant, negative impacts on bank-retail-and-other-lending-growth for large European banks in the context of deleveraging and the “credit crunch” in Europe over the post-2008 financial crisis period. Additionally, liquidity indicators have positive but perverse effects on bank-lending-growth, which supports the need to consider heterogeneous banks’ characteristics and behaviors when implementing new regulatory policies.

Book Synopsis Consequences of selected Basel III regulations for real estate developers by : Laura Gerke-Teufel
Download or read book Consequences of selected Basel III regulations for real estate developers written by Laura Gerke-Teufel and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Munich Business School, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The high leveraged American real estate investment market dominated by speculators, brought about a global financial crisis of epic proportions in 2008. The global financial recession, which followed, highlighted a gloomy rate of interdependence in the banking world. It exposed the tight interconnection of the American real estate market and the structures of the global financial market (Panagopoulos et al. 2009, 2-4). In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision published the report ''Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems'' which will be implemented gradually across the European Union (among others) between 2013 and 2019 and supplements the existing International Convergence of Capital Measurement Document (Basel II) which was implemented in 2008 (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, 2013). The reformed capital and liquidity requirements for banks, Basel III, is a response to the global financial crisis and represents a substantial step forward from its predecessor regime, Basel II which already based credit costs on the degree of risk. One of the most significant outcomes of Basel III will be the enormous rise in the banking industry's capital requirements and the rise in lending as well as borrowing costs (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, 2013). Real estate developers heavily depend on debt capital for their projects and partake usually only with a small amount of equity capital in a project. If the access to bank loans will be limited or restricted in the future, developers will have to adapt their financing model to the new market conditions and challenges posed by Basel III and take other financing alternatives into consideration in order to decrease dependence on bank loans (Drucker, 2012). Other financing alternatives might also gain attraction if senior loans become more restricted or the securities or the equity required by the bank increase so much that the return on investment of real estate developers will make investments unprofitable or they might not able to provide these securities. They might not know how to proceed and restructure their financing model adapting it to a lower amount of senior debt. The increased loan documentation due to Basel III might take so long that the developer will not be able to realize the project viably anymore due to fast changing market conditions (Drucker, 2012).
Book Synopsis The Impact of Basel II Reforms by : Apolline Charpentier
Download or read book The Impact of Basel II Reforms written by Apolline Charpentier and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of Basel II reforms has been designed to protect the international financial system from major bank collapses through the enforcement of minimum capital adequacy ratios. This new set of rules has raised concerns of triggering changes in institutions' business models leading to credit contraction, which in turn could potentially contribute to slower global economic development. Small and Middle Enterprises, which have traditionally been engines of growth, innovation, and R&D in Europe, are highly reliant on bank loans as opposed to equity funding. This thesis focuses on the specific impact of Basel II reforms on SME access to financing. The paper is structured around four sections. Part I provides a technical summary of the regulation, focusing on the specific capital requirements for SMEs. Part II reviews today's literature on the topic. Finally, parts III and IV respectively provide a theoretical and empirical examination of the consequences of the reforms on SME financing. Based on these analyses, this thesis supports the conclusion that Basel II reforms have not been the cause of a contraction in SME lending.
Book Synopsis Revisiting Risk-Weighted Assets by : Vanessa Le Leslé
Download or read book Revisiting Risk-Weighted Assets written by Vanessa Le Leslé and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we provide an overview of the concerns surrounding the variations in the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWAs) across banks and jurisdictions and how this might undermine the Basel III capital adequacy framework. We discuss the key drivers behind the differences in these calculations, drawing upon a sample of systemically important banks from Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. We then discuss a range of policy options that could be explored to fix the actual and perceived problems with RWAs, and improve the use of risk-sensitive capital ratios.
Book Synopsis From Basel I to Basel III: Sequencing Implementation in Developing Economies by : Caio Ferreira
Download or read book From Basel I to Basel III: Sequencing Implementation in Developing Economies written by Caio Ferreira and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing economies can strengthen their financial systems by implementing the main elements of global regulatory reform. But to build an effective prudential framework, they may need to adapt international standards taking into account the sophistication and size of their financial institutions, the relevance of different financial operations in their market, the granularity of information available and the capacity of their supervisors. Under a proportionate application of the Basel standards, smaller institutions with less complex business models would be subject to a simpler regulatory framework that enhances the resilience of the financial sector without generating disproportionate compliance costs. This paper provides guidance on how non-Basel Committee member countries could incorporate banks’ capital and liquidity standards into their framework. It builds on the experience gained by the authors in the course of their work in providing technical assistance on—and assessing compliance with—international standards in banking supervision.
Book Synopsis Basel III and SME Bank Finance in Germany by : Philipp Marek
Download or read book Basel III and SME Bank Finance in Germany written by Philipp Marek and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines how Basel III capital reforms affected bank lending in Ger- many. We focus on the increase of minimum risk-based capital requirements and the introduction of the leverage ratio. The announcement of stricter risk-based capital regulation significantly affected low capitalized banks. The impact depends on a bank's credit risk model, i.e. whether a bank applies the standardized approach (SA) or an internal ratings-based approach (IRBA) to determine risk weights. Low capitalized SA banks significantly cut lending whereas IRBA banks did not ad- just lending volumes. By contrast, low capitalized IRBA banks significantly in- creased collateralization while low capitalized SA banks adjusted collateralization only marginally. Moreover, the impact on SMEs and large companies also differs. In terms of lending, SMEs were affected more strongly, whilst in terms of collateralization the impact on large companies was bigger. The announcement of the leverage ratio had, however, a rather limited impact. We find some evidence that low capitalized banks reduced lending. Furthermore, low capitalized banks somewhat tightened collateral requirements, especially for large companies.
Book Synopsis The New Basel Capital Accord by : Benton E. Gup
Download or read book The New Basel Capital Accord written by Benton E. Gup and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2004 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Edwards was a preacher, pastor, revivalist, and theologian. This volume unpacks his magnificent theological vision, which starts with God’s glory and ends with all creation returning to that glory. Sean Michael Lucas has converted his years of teaching on Edwards into this valuable work, which places Edwards’s vision in an accessible, two-part framework. Part one focuses on Edwards’s understanding of redemption history-God’s cosmic, grand work from eternity past to eternity future, where all things are united in Christ. Part two examines Edwards’s perspective on “redemption applied”-how that gracious, divine work unfolds in space and time to personally transform individuals, stirring their affections, illuminating their minds, and moving their wills to form new habits and practices. This overview of Edwards’s theology will prove to be a thought-provoking, encouraging guide to contemporary believers at every stage of their spiritual journey.
Book Synopsis Access to Bank Credit and SME Financing by : Stefania Rossi
Download or read book Access to Bank Credit and SME Financing written by Stefania Rossi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the global financial and European sovereign debt crises have forced small-and-medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to reassess and adapt their funding strategies. At the heart of the matter is the worsening access to bank credit for such enterprises. Through this discussion we learn how crucial an understanding of SME-financing is to policy makers, in light of the fact that SMEs dominate the business landscape in Europe and are the main drivers of employment, growth and innovation in the European economy. Contributing chapters present expert analysis and investigate many topics including the problems faced by SMEs in accessing bank credit and the cost of funding and its determinants. Particular attention is also given to how credit-constrained enterprises may reformulate their funding strategies by employing alternative, non-bank, financial resources, and how regulators could support SMEs in broadening and improving their funding opportunities.

Book Synopsis Bank Size and Systemic Risk by : Mr.Luc Laeven
Download or read book Bank Size and Systemic Risk written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed SDN documents the evolution of bank size and activities over the past 20 years. It discusses whether this evolution can be explained by economies of scale or “too big to fail” subsidies. The paper then presents evidence on the extent to which bank size and market-based activities contribute to systemic risk. The paper concludes with policy messages in the area of capital regulation and activity restrictions to reduce the systemic risk posed by large banks. The analysis of the paper complements earlier Fund work, including SDN 13/04 and the recent GFSR chapter on “too big to fail” subsidies, and its policy message is in line with this earlier work.
Book Synopsis Usability of Bank Capital Buffers: The Role of Market Expectations by : José Abad
Download or read book Usability of Bank Capital Buffers: The Role of Market Expectations written by José Abad and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the COVID shock, supervisors encouraged banks to use capital buffers to support the recovery. However, banks have been reluctant to do so. Provided the market expects a bank to rebuild its buffers, any draw-down will open up a capital shortfall that will weigh on its share price. Therefore, a bank will only decide to use its buffers if the value creation from a larger loan book offsets the costs associated with a capital shortfall. Using market expectations, we calibrate a framework for assessing the usability of buffers. Our results suggest that the cases in which the use of buffers make economic sense are rare in practice.
Book Synopsis Central Banking at a Crossroads by : Charles Goodhart
Download or read book Central Banking at a Crossroads written by Charles Goodhart and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on the innovations that central banks have introduced since the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers to improve their modes of intervention, regulation and resolution of financial markets and financial institutions. Authors from both academia and policy circles explore these innovations through four approaches: ‘Bank Capital Regulation’ examines the Basel III agreement; ‘Bank Resolution’ focuses on effective regimes for regulating and resolving ailing banks; ‘Central Banking with Collateral-Based Finance’ develops thought on the challenges that market-based finance pose for the conduct of central banking; and ‘Where Next for Central Banking’ examines the trajectory of central banking and its new, central role in sustaining capitalism.
Book Synopsis Small and medium-sized enterprises in Bulgaria by : Dimitar Vasilev

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,7, Furtwangen University; Villingen-Schwenningen, language: English, abstract: In modern economic conditions, conducting business activity of any kind without availability of debt finance is improbable. The private sector in Bulgaria face the challenge of maintaining sufficient amount of capital to successfully satisfy both working and investment needs. Debt finance products offer an ideal way to satisfy those needs. Small- and medium-sized enterprises are main employment generator and key economic growth factor. They play primarily role in forming both GDP and Value Added of the country. However, SMEs have experienced a vast amount of economic and social problems. Main problems groups can be brought down to: - Inappropriate business environment for the development of SME (administrative, legal, poorly developed business consulting services and regional business centers etc.) - Insufficient financial assistance Since capital markets in Bulgaria are still underdeveloped and alternative sources of finance are hardly present, bank loans/credit lines along with supplier/customer debt prove to be a primary source of capital for small- and medium- sized enterprises. In a bank-based financial system like Bulgaria, banking system is a key factor of economic growth with a major role in productivity, investment levels, innovation and expectation of entrepreneurs. All those factors explain the importance of the chosen topic on regional and national level. Purpose of this work is to create a comprehensive profile of the SME sector in Bulgaria; to pinpoint and analyze its problems toward access to external capital as well as to evaluate trends and challenges in SME debt finance. Key question on which this work attempts to answer is: What are the trends and challenges in the corporate debt financing sector? In order to get there, specific tasks will need to be accomplished - Creation of a comprehensive profile of the SME sector in Bulgaria and illustration of its growing importance for the national economy. - Evaluation of the supply and demand for debt and determination of potential barriers to limited external finance access for SMEs - Formulating and analyzing trends and challenges of corporate debt financing in Bulgaria [...]
Book Synopsis Bank Behavior in Response to Basel Iii by : Thomas F. Cosimano
Download or read book Bank Behavior in Response to Basel Iii written by Thomas F. Cosimano and published by . This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the impact of the new capital requirements introduced under the Basel III framework on bank lending rates and loan growth. Higher capital requirements, by raising banks’ marginal cost of funding, lead to higher lending rates. The data presented in the paper suggest that large banks would on average need to increase their equity-to-asset ratio by 1.3 percentage points under the Basel III framework. GMM estimations indicate that this would lead large banks to increase their lending rates by 16 basis points, causing loan growth to decline by 1.3 percent in the long run. The results also suggest that banks’ responses to the new regulations will vary considerably from one advanced economy to another (e.g. a relatively large impact on loan growth in Japan and Denmark and a relatively lower impact in the U.S.) depending on cross-country variations in banks’ net cost of raising equity and the elasticity of loan demand with respect to changes in loan rates.
