This book was released on 1987 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'Central Bank' is comparatively modern, and the domain of the theory of Central Banking is an unmapped land. But there existed certain banking institutions (such as the Bank of England) which by virtue of their history, have acquired preponderating influence. These institutions are today operating as Central Banks, and the theory on which they actually operate is supposed to exemplify the principles of Central Banking. It is the purpose of the following pages to expose the principles and functions of Central Banking in general and particularly in Lebanon, through a systematic process of analysis. The study will examine cases of particular supervisory institutions in a number of countries. The study begins with a description of the evolution of Central Banking through the practices of the Bank of England in the nineteenth century. Then it proceeds to a theoretical exposion of the functions and objectives of Central Banks. It also deals with the monetary and banking developments during the period 1920-1964, which led to the establishment of the Bank of Lebanon. Furthermore, it analytically discusses the reasons and proposals for the establishment of the Bank of Lebanon as well as the func¬tions and structure of the latter. The last chapter, tackles the issues and approaches of bank supervision in a selected number of developed countries and in Lebanon. The conclusion, provides a set of recommendations aimed at improving bank supervision in Lebanon.

This book was released on 2007-10-27 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Economic and Social History, grade: 70% / Distinction, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)/ Economics Department), course: Abschlussarbeit zur Erlangung eines MSc Development Economics, language: English, abstract: This dissertation assesses the role of the banking sector in the Lebanese economy throughout the country’s history with respect to its linkages with the real sector. I thereby focus on the credit market. It is shown that various external and internal factors have led to a credit market development on the supply-side that is not conducive to real sector growth. In particular, the period before the Lebanese civil war is characterised by funds flowing in from other Arab countries, which were not channelled into domestic long term investment but accrued to the trade and services sector or went abroad. Throughout the war and afterwards the share of the private sector in total credit declined substantially as the government crowded out private demand. It is concluded that only a shift of policy with a clear focus on the real sector’s needs can bring about the required economic development.

Book Synopsis Banking on the State by : Hicham Safieddine
Download or read book Banking on the State written by Hicham Safieddine and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1943, Lebanon gained its formal political independence from France; only after two more decades did the country finally establish a national central bank. Inaugurated on April 1, 1964, the Banque du Liban (BDL) was billed by Lebanese authorities as the nation's primary symbol of economic sovereignty and as the last step towards full independence. In the local press, it was described as a means of projecting state power and enhancing national pride. Yet the history of its founding—stretching from its Ottoman origins in mid-nineteenth century up until the mid-twentieth—tells a different, more complex story. Banking on the State reveals how the financial foundations of Lebanon were shaped by the history of the standardization of economic practices and financial regimes within the decolonizing world. The system of central banking that emerged was the product of a complex interaction of war, economic policies, international financial regimes, post-colonial state-building, global currents of technocratic knowledge, and private business interests. It served rather than challenged the interests of an oligarchy of local bankers. As Hicham Safieddine shows, the set of arrangements that governed the central bank thus was dictated by dynamics of political power and financial profit more than market forces, national interest or economic sovereignty.

Download or read book A Central Bank for the Economic Development of Lebanon written by Antoine Edouard Asseily and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an analysis and appraisal of the newly established central bank in Lebanon. The Charter granting the privately owned Banque de Syrie et du Liban the privilege of note issue in Lebanon expired on 31st March 1964 and was not renewed, A state owned institution, the Bank of Lebanon, was created to take over the functions of the Issuing Department of the Banque de Syrie et du Liban and was given central banking powers. This was the most important development in Lebanese banking history since the Banking Secrecy Law of 1956. When a central bank is newly established in a developing country, there is always the danger that it will be dominated by traditional notions of central banking, and insufficient regard paid to the particular characteristics of the economy in which it is to operate. The result may well be the establishment of an ineffective central bank. The problem considered here is whether in Lebanon there was a need for a change from the old system, that is whether or not the Banque de Syrie et du Liban was adequate for the requirements of the country, and if not what sort of a change was required. The development and working of the Lebanese banking system is analysed with special reference to the role that might be required of a central bank. Particular emphasis is placed on the significance of the foreign banks and the very active money market which traditionally provided an effective lender of last resort. The problems of economic development in the Lebanon are outlined and in the light of these problems, of the nature of the economy and of the Government's economic plans, the important functions that could well be served by a central bank are discussed. It is concluded that the Beque de Syrie et du Liban, essentially an Issuing Bank, was not adequate for the requirements of the economic development of the country, and that a central bank was needed. But the Bank of Lebanon, as actually constituted will only marginally help in the economic development of the country.

Download or read book The Role of Monetary Policy and the Banking Sector in Economic Development with Reference to Lebanon written by Abdallah Adnan Jibai and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monetary policy has become the central tool of macroeconomic stabilization, and in more and more countries monetary policy is in the hands of an independent central bank which through its various instruments, targets, and goals along wit h the vital interaction of the commercial banking sector are playing a central role in the economic development and growth of the state. Fundamentally, the goals of monetary policy in developing countries do not differ greatly from those in developed ones, in spite of differences in both eco nomic and social structure. But there is likely to be a substantial difference in emphasis on these objectives, namely the promotion of economic growth in the developing countries and the avoidance of inflation in the developed ones. Central banks along with commercial banks in developing countries have the added responsibility of the development of the financial structure by assisting in the creation of institutions specifically designed to encourage the mobilization of savings and to provide development finance. Theref ore, the evaluation of the financial banking system in an economy must be viewed in terms of the extent of its contribution t o capital formation and economic growth.

Book Synopsis Advanced Introduction to Banking Law by : Sylvain Massaad
Download or read book Advanced Introduction to Banking Law written by Sylvain Massaad and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banking Law is subject to a fast pace of change and development. In the past twenty five years alone, for example, one hundred forty regulatory circulars were issued by the Lebanese Central Bank to create a legal framework for the banking activity. This intense regulatory activity and the increasingly frequent intervention of the supervisory authorities have repeatedly rearranged this framework: these circulars were amended no less than four hundred and fifty times during the same period. In addition, the influence of international laws and regulations on the Lebanese banking system has further complicated the shaping of a regulatory policy. As a result, we all remain apprentices of the subject, no matter how long and profound our experience. These characteristics make this section of the Law so fascinating but, sometimes, frustrating. This book is intended to help law professionals resolve this frustration and become more fascinated with the Lebanese banking laws and regulations. Banking Law is a multifaceted area of practice that can be intimidating even to experienced lawyers. The practice of banking law has considerably evolved over the last several years due to intensive legislative and regulatory initiatives undertaken under the auspices of, or in corroboration with, the Lebanese Central Bank. Since 1993, the passing of several laws and regulations created many watchdogs for the banking sector as well as a complex but comprehensive framework to regulate the banking activity. This book provides a general overview of today's system of banking and financial regulations that is unique to the Lebanese market. Banks are particular entities exercising specific types of operations. Students, researchers as well as lawyers representing banks need to understand their client's specific legal and regulatory contexts to serve better their needs. This practical resource gives the reader the essential keys to understand what we refer to in this book as "Banking Law" by extensively answering, among others, the following questions: - How the role of a banking institution has evolved? - What are the characteristics of the existing types of banks? - What are the local regulatory requirements to establish a bank in Lebanon and branches abroad? - How to issue, trade and deal with banks' securities? - What rules apply to online banking activities? - Who are the supervisory authorities of the banking and financial sectors; how are they managed and what are their respective roles? - How do the current laws and regulations protect the interests of the bank's depositors, shareholders and stakeholders? More than 25 years of accumulated legal learning is comprised in this book that will benefit banking law practitioners, researchers and students. In order to comprehensively answer the above mentioned questions, the content of this book is organised into to the following chapters: I. Introduction II. The role of banking institutions III. Types of banks IV. Establishment of a bank in Lebanon V. Banks' securities VI. Branches, representative offices and affiliates VII. E-banking VIII. Banking supervision IX. Main legal and regulatory framework

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lebanese banking system is seen as having a key role for the region's development, by being the entry point for capital inflows in addition to the fact that Lebanon's high fiscal deficits are financed largely by domestic commercial banks. The Lebanese banking sector activity was at the image of buoyant economic conditions in 2009 despite the international financial crisis of 2008 which resulted in the collapse of large financial institutions, the bailout of banks by national governments and downturns in stock markets around the world. Total sector activity, measured by consolidated domestic assets of operating banks in Lebanon grew significantly by US$ 21 billion in 2009 reaching US$ 115.3 billion. In addition, total deposits with commercial banks increased from US$ 6.5 billion at the end of 1992 to US $95.8 billion at the end of 2009. So, Lebanon was immune to the adverse effects of this crisis due to restrictions set by its central bank and far from experiencing a credit crunch, Lebanon witnessed excess money supply and consequently excess lending. Using time series approach, this thesis aims to highlight the determinants of bank lending in Lebanon and their effect on credit volume using data covering the period from 1994-2010. After a brief introduction chapter two will include a related literature on some financial and banking crisis that erupted in the 20th and 21st centuries. Chapter three discusses the main trends and characteristics of Lebanese banking sector along with a theoretical part of monetary policy and the role of the Banque Du Liban (BDL). Chapter four is empirical it will see what variables affect bank lending in Lebanon through a regression analysis using the statistical tool, E-views. Chapter five concludes the project.
