Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many microstates have an economic model that attracts global incorporations and/or finance, as plugging into the global economy is important for microstates that have small domestic economies. However, microstates often offer low business and corporation taxes or lax regulatory regimes to compete in the fiercely competitive global market, therefore criticised as offering havens, engaging in harmful tax competition and leading a race to the bottom. Although international efforts such as led by the OECD and FATF (Financial Action Task Force) have secured an extent of co-operation from such microstates, their position remains an uneasy one in the international legal order, as they engage in regulatory competition with onshore jurisdictions and with each other. Post global financial crisis 2007-9, a slew of aggressive extra-territorial legislation in the area of taxation and finance has been introduced by a number of powerful jurisdictions to bring a new onslaught onto microstates' economic models. This article argues that the US, EU and UK are leading such a move from the traditional multilateral approaches to governing microstates' role in regulatory competition to unilateral approaches that are more overtly antagonistic to microstates' economic models in offshore tax and finance. This article examines why such a move has occurred, and the confluence of driving factors for such a move. This article examines the key unilateral measures, ie the rise of automatic information reporting regimes such as the US FATCA, the more modest EU equivalent, the UK's new corporate reporting and tax enforcement regimes, and the EU's reforms in financial regulation. We also see an incremental trend in such unilateral strategies giving rise to more coordinated multilateral adoption of such strategies. Based on a consultancy project the author has led in 2015, we have gained first-hand insights into policy-making at a microstate which is facing the challenges described above. Microstates offering the old models of tax and financial services are at the cusp of change. However, they have little choice but to continue to try and thrive in global economic competition. We provide some reflections on microstates' continuing role in regulatory competition in the changing international legal order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small jurisdictions have become significant players in cross-border corporate and financial services. Their nature, legal status, and market roles, however, remain under-theorized. Lacking a sufficiently nuanced framework to describe their functions in cross-border finance - and the peculiar strengths of those achieving global dominance in the marketplace - it remains impossible to evaluate their impacts in a comprehensive manner. This book advances a new conceptual framework to refine the analysis and direct it toward more productive inquiries. Bruner canvasses extant theoretical frameworks used to describe and evaluate the roles of small jurisdictions in cross-border finance. He then proposes a new concept that better captures the characteristics, competitive strategies, and market roles of those achieving global dominance in the marketplace - the "market-dominant small jurisdiction" (MDSJ). Bruner identifies the central features giving rise to such jurisdictions' competitive strengths - some reflect historical, cultural, and geographic circumstances, while others reflect development strategies pursued in light of those circumstances. Through this lens, he evaluates a range of small jurisdictions that have achieved global dominance in specialized areas of cross-border finance, including Bermuda, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland, and Delaware. Bruner further tests the MDSJ concept's explanatory power through a broader comparative analysis, and he concludes that the MDSJs' significance will likely continue to grow - as will the need for a more effective means of theorizing their roles in cross-border finance and the global dynamics generated by their ascendance.

Download or read book Offshore Banking written by Mr.Luca Errico and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper takes a closer look at offshore banking—a pervasive practice that has played a role in recent crises. Offshore banking is an increasingly attractive alternative to the sometimes heavily regulated financial markets of emerging economies. From a microeconomic vantage point, offshore banks seem to exploit the risk-return tradeoff by being more profitable than onshore banks, and in many instances also more leveraged. Risks stemming from offshore activities may be easily transmitted onshore with systemic consequences. Current prudential and supervisory frameworks are broadly adequate for risk management if effectively and universally implemented.

Book excerpt: Offshore finance has transformed many small jurisdictions into high income economies and has facilitated the growth of global financial markets, deregulation and the convergence of economic policies worldwide.

This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Theory of Disfunctionality: The European Micro-states as Disfunctional States in the International System" explains the continuing survival of European micro-states as members of the international system. Micro-states are small sovereign states with populations of 1 million or less, of which there are 10 in Europe. The existence of micro-states raises a number of questions about the nature of statehood, the recognition of sovereignty, and the ability of such states to maintain a presence in international politics. This book establishes the ‘theory of disfunctionality’ in which a functional account of statehood is proposed. It is argued that the state has six functions—but the micro-states are so small that they ‘contract out’ some state functions to others in the international system. By doing this, the micro-states ensure their continuing survival in international politics. The book, which focuses on two case studies—Monaco and Luxembourg—, will be of particular interest to those involved in small state studies including scholars, students, practitioners and policy-makers, as well as those researching International Relations and state theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the issues surrounding banking secrecy and confiscation of criminal proceeds in offshore financial centres. The book examines the existing legal agreements at the international, regional and national levels and their interaction in the substantive areas of confiscation, anti-money laundering and banking confidentiality laws. The work draws on the insights of criminologists to offer critical insight into the legislative frameworks designed to deal with banking secrecy and confiscation in offshore financial centres. It goes on to offer suggestions for measures that may be taken by major economies to circumvent the lack of cooperation by offshore financial centres as intolerance towards money laundering grows in light of recent political and economic events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism in European Microstates and Dependencies carefully examines the nuances and realities associated with tourism, social and economic development, geography, and geopolitics of Europe's smallest microstates and dependencies. Through case study-based material, the book covers the smallest states of Europe, the European dependencies inside Europe, and other unique territorial anomalies and unrecognized de facto states. It looks at how, besides small size and economy of scale, one of the characteristics that connects these unique states and territories is their dependence on tourism, or their desire to develop it, for their socio-economic well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caribbean economies face high and rising debt-to-GDP ratios that jeopardize prospects for medium-term debt sustainability and growth. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges of fiscal consolidation and debt reduction in the Caribbean. It examines the problem of high debt in the region and discusses policy options for improving debt sustainability, including fiscal consolidation, robust growth, and structural reforms. The book also examines empirically the factors underlying global large debt reduction episodes to draw important policy lessons for the Caribbean. It also reviews the literature on successful fiscal consolidation experiences and provides an overview of past and current consolidation efforts in the Caribbean. The book concludes that the region needs a broad and sustained package of reforms to reduce debt ratios to more manageable levels and strengthen economic resilience.

This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are internationally-recognized financial reporting guidelines regulated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to ensure that uniformity exists in the global financial system. In addition to regulating financial reporting, the adoption of IRFS has been shown to impact the flow of foreign capital and trade. Economics and Political Implications of International Financial Reporting Standards focuses on the consequences and determinants of the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), which has remained a top issue in International Accounting. This timely publication brings to the forefront issues related to the political and economic influences and impacts of IFRS in addition to providing a platform for further research in this area. Policy makers, academics, researchers, graduate-level students, and professionals across the fields of management, economics, finance, international relations, and political science will find this publication pertinent to furthering their understanding of financial reporting at the global level.

This book was released on 2023-09-25 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Microstate, Macro Consequences: The Nauru Case" offers a nuanced exploration of Nauru, a tiny island nation that serves as a microcosm of larger global issues. Despite its small size, Nauru's story is replete with lessons that resonate on a global scale. Key Themes: Economic Volatility: From phosphate booms to financial collapses, Nauru's economic history serves as a cautionary tale of dependency on a single resource and the perils of lacking diversification. Environmental Challenges: Unsustainable resource exploitation has led to severe environmental degradation, offering a stark lesson in the need for sustainable practices. Human Rights: Scrutiny is given to the island's controversial role in the refugee crisis, as well as its treatment of vulnerable populations, including the LGBTQAI+ community. Globalization and Sovereignty: Navigating complex relationships with larger powers like Australia and international organizations reveals the inherent challenges of maintaining sovereignty in a globalized world. Social Fabric: Gender roles, national identity, and the impact of the diaspora are explored to understand the island's unique social and cultural dynamics. Scientific and Ethical Considerations: A rigorous, data-driven approach assesses various factors impacting Nauru's development, from environmental metrics to healthcare systems. Global Implications: Lessons learned from Nauru are extrapolated to offer insights into broader issues such as climate change, economic inequality, and governance. This comprehensive analysis serves not only as a deep dive into a unique nation but also as a broader commentary on the complexities of globalization, governance, and ethical responsibility in the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyzes the financialization of the Brazilian territory to identify its main actors, technical systems and processes. The work is divided into three parts, which correspond to the three main scales of analysis of the national financial system: 1. the global scale, which defines the relative position of Brazil in the international division of financial work, emphasizing the role of São Paulo as an international financial centre; 2 the national level, which demonstrates the recent development of the financial and banking system (after 1964), with emphasis on the location and regionalization of bank headquarters and branches, as well as the new electronic channels for the provision of banking services (ATMs, points-of-sales, mobile and Internet banking); and 3. the local scale, which shows how these new financial agents and technical systems affect the Brazilian urban population, emphasizing the indebtedness of the lower income classes, as well as the emergence of alternative ways of using finance, such as fintechs, credit cooperatives and community banks.
