Book Synopsis International Financial Centres after the Global Financial Crisis and Brexit by : Youssef Cassis
Download or read book International Financial Centres after the Global Financial Crisis and Brexit written by Youssef Cassis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as marking the tenth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the consequent unleashing of the global financial crisis, 2018 is also the year of negotiations on the terms of the UK's exit from the European Union. Within a decade the banking world has witnessed two epochal events with potential to redraw the map of international financial centres: but how much has this map actually changed since 2008, and how is it likely to change in the near future? International Financial Centres after the Global Financial Crisis and Brexit gathers together leading economic historians, geographers, and other social scientists to focus on the post-2008 developments in key international financial centres. It focuses on the shifting hierarchies of New York, London, Paris, Geneva, Zurich, Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, and Tokyo to question whether Asian financial centres have taken advantage of the crisis in the West. It also examines the medium-effects of the crisis, the level of regulation, and the rise of new technology (fintech). By exploring these crucial changes, it questions whether shifts in the financial industry and the global landscape will render these centres unnecessary for the functioning of the global economy, and which cities are likely to emerge as hubs of new financial technology.

Book Synopsis Jean-Pierre Cuoni, a Banker with Heart by : Christophe Vuilleumier
Download or read book Jean-Pierre Cuoni, a Banker with Heart written by Christophe Vuilleumier and published by Éditions Slatkine. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man’s destiny is shaped by the work he does, but also by his attitude towards life, his values and his ethics. Jean-Pierre Cuoni, founder of the international bank EFG, together in collaboration with his old friend in the ranks Lonnie Howell, embraced the virtues of ethics and loyalty in the disillusioned, practical world of finance. He was the father of the name Private Banking, and revolutionised the traditional management model of the banking institution by promoting independence for his employees. Member of the Board of Directors of the Union des Bourses Suisses, of the Board of Directors of the Zurich Chamber of Commerce, Vice-President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce, Vice-President of the British Swiss Chamber of Commerce, Jean- Pierre Cuoni remained unknown to the general public. Sometimes criticised but often adored by those who knew him, Jean-Pierre Cuoni was a Swiss industry giant who knew how to build rather than destroy over decades wrought with major economic and political instability. Noëlle Demole, Cuoni’s first grand-daughter, decided to put in writing the fascinating biography of her grand-father, whom she deeply adored.
Book Synopsis The World of Private Banking by : Youssef Cassis
Download or read book The World of Private Banking written by Youssef Cassis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a full and authoritative account of the history of private banking, beginning with its development in conjunction with the world markets served by and centred on a few European cities, notably Amsterdam and London. These banks were usually partnerships, a form of organization which persisted as the role of private banking changed in response to the political and economic transformations of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was in this period, and the succeeding Golden Age of private banking from 1815 to the 1870s, that many of the great names this book treats rose to fame: Baring, Rothschild, Mallet and Hottinger became synonymous with wealth and economic power, as German, French and the remarkably long-lasting Geneva banks flourished and expanded. The last parts of this study detail the way in which private banking adapted to the age of the corporate economy from the 1870s to the 1930s, the decline during and after the Great Depression and the post-war renaissance. It concludes with an appraisal of the causes and consequences of the modern expansion of private banking: no longer the exclusive preserve of partnerships, the management of investment portfolios of wealthy individuals and institutions is now a major concern of international joint-stock banks.

Book Synopsis Switzerland--European Union by : René Schwok
Download or read book Switzerland--European Union written by René Schwok and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explains in an accessible manner the key elements of the relationship between the Swiss Confederation and the European Union. The author begins by summarizing the main steps in this special and evolving relationship which has long oscillated between membership and marginalization. He also guides us expertly through the thickets of referendums (no fewer than fourteen from 1972 to the time of writing!) in which Swiss citizens have been given the opportunity to pass judgment on the European question. Finally and perhaps most importantly, this volume explains why the Swiss still oppose joining the European Union. It examines the thorny questions of identity, reservations on policy matters (preserving neutrality, direct democracy and Swiss style federalism), not to mention doubts regarding the economy, which have done so much to shape public opinion and the official strategy of the Swiss Confederation. Paradoxically, the closer Switzerland gets to the EU through bilateral agreements, the more distant prospects of joining the EU seem to become. This is the conundrum at the heart of the relationship between the Swiss Confederation and the European Union which is expertly explored in this volume.
Book Synopsis Colonial and Imperial Banking History by : Hubert Bonin
Download or read book Colonial and Imperial Banking History written by Hubert Bonin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the role played by European banks in the economic colonization of much of the globe. Based on previously unused archival material, it examines the origins and development of imperial banking systems. Contributors utilize new developments and methodology in business history to explore a broad range of countries including Cuba, Brazil, Portugal, South Africa and Algeria. The central topic of interest in this book is the institutional history of central, issuing and rediscounting banks. While much attention has been paid to the British, Dutch and French banks and financial instituions, this book is unique in its focus on colonial and overseas banking. Using a range of case studies, this book highlights both the immense variety and cohesion that defined colonial banking practices. This book will be of interest to researchers concerned with international finance and banking and economic history.
Book Synopsis Intermediated Securities by : Pierre-Henri Conac
Download or read book Intermediated Securities written by Pierre-Henri Conac and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's financial markets, investors no longer hold securities physically. Instead, securities such as shares or bonds are mostly held through intermediaries and transferred by way of book-entries on securities accounts. However, there are remarkable conceptual differences between the various jurisdictions with regard to the legal treatment of intermediated securities. It is widely agreed that this patchwork creates considerable legal risks, especially in cross-border situations. Two initiatives are in place to reduce these risks. In 2009, the UNIDROIT Convention on Substantive Rules for Intermediated Securities (the 'Geneva Securities Convention') was adopted, aimed at harmonisation on the international level. The EU Commission is also running a legislative project, to achieve harmonisation at the regional level. This book compares both initiatives and analyses their impact on the securities laws of selected European jurisdictions.
