Book Synopsis Road to a Resilient Financial Sector by : Muhammad Ali
Download or read book Road to a Resilient Financial Sector written by Muhammad Ali and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. financial sector has been plagued by crises in the last few decades. The Dodd-Frank Act was the most substantial set of reforms in recent history aimed at making the financial sector more resilient and stable than before. We analyze the effects of the Dodd-Frank Act in reducing systemic risk in the financial system. We find that the Dodd-Frank Act reduced systemic risk in the financial system by conducting a panel regression on 15 of the most prominent financial institutions in the U.S. However, our results suggest that the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act and the Global Financial Crisis '08 coincide acting as the main driver for the reduction in systemic risk. It is imperative to refine risk-management tools and make data more accessible in order to protect the financial sector from future crises as the health of our economy depends on it.
Download or read book Lifelines written by Stephane Hallegatte and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure—electricity, telecommunications, roads, water, and sanitation—are central to people’s lives. Without it, they cannot make a living, stay healthy, and maintain a good quality of life. Access to basic infrastructure is also a key driver of economic development. This report lays out a framework for understanding infrastructure resilience - the ability of infrastructure systems to function and meet users’ needs during and after a natural hazard. It focuses on four infrastructure systems that are essential to economic activity and people’s well-being: power systems, including the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity; water and sanitation—especially water utilities; transport systems—multiple modes such as road, rail, waterway, and airports, and multiple scales, including urban transit and rural access; and telecommunications, including telephone and Internet connections.

Book excerpt: The world has seen two major financial and economic crises in less than two decades, which have shaken investor confidence in the financial systems, resulted in tens of hundreds of billions of loss, and left behind dislocated societies in many regions. Everything started in the summer months of 1997 in East and Southeast Asia; all the way up to the end of 1996, there was a remarkable success story to tell about the unequaled economic progress that had been going on for at least past three or four decades. Was this a testing time for the so called Asian tigers (or dragons)? Asian tigers were being tested for resilience and redemption to prove to the world that the metaphor was not just a myth; around the same time a serious of technological transformation marked the beginning for the dot-com boom in the United States which lasted only three years. From 1997 to March of 2000, the Internet and related technologies' high-flying stocks in industrialized nations saw amazing equity-value appreciation most of which unfortunately was based on more speculative assumptions rather than historic real valuations. Technology powerhouse NASDAQ composite index, where a lot of the technology stocks including those of dot-com companies were listed and traded, more than doubled its level compared to a year ago. The bubble burst soon after NASDAQ passed the critical 5000 mark and the crash of 2000-2002 (dot-come bust) cost investors a mind blowing half of the U.S. GDP ($10.01 trillion in 2001).
Book Synopsis Building Resilient Banking Sectors in the Caucasus and Central Asia by : MissMercedes Vera Martin
Download or read book Building Resilient Banking Sectors in the Caucasus and Central Asia written by MissMercedes Vera Martin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: External shocks since 2014—lower oil prices and slower growth in key trading partners—have put financial sectors, mainly banks, in the eight Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) countries under increased stress. Even before the shocks, CCA banking sectors were not at full strength. Asset quality was generally weak, due in part to shortcomings in regulation, supervision, and governance. The economies were highly dollarized. Business practices were affected by lack of competition and, in most countries, connected lending, which undermined banking sector health. Shortcomings in financial regulation and supervision allowed the unsound banking practices to remain unaddressed. The external shocks exacerbated in these underlying vulnerabilities. Strains in CCA banking sectors intensified as liquidity tightened, asset quality deteriorated, and banks became undercapitalized. These challenges have required public intervention in some cases.

Book Synopsis Financial Development in Latin America and the Caribbean by : Augusto de la Torre

This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial systems of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have been widely resilient to the global financial crisis, which reflects strong progress in both macroeconomic management and prudential oversight. However, the current juncture provides a unique tapestry upon which this book examines several key questions and challenges looking forward. Does LAC continue to underperform on some key financial development indicators and, if so, why? How can LAC's financial systems contribute more effectively to the region's welfare and growth? How can LAC secure the benefits of deepening financial development while avoiding the fault lines that recently burst to the surface in other parts of the world?
Book Synopsis Building a More Resilient Financial Sector by : Aditya Narain
Download or read book Building a More Resilient Financial Sector written by Aditya Narain and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The IMF, with the Bank for International Settlements and the Financial Stability Board, has been at the forefront of discussions on reform of the global financial system to reduce the possibility of future crises, as well as to limit the consequences if they do occur. The policy choices are both urgent and challenging, and are complicated by the relationship between sovereign debt and risks to the banking sector. Building a More Resilient Financial Sector describes the key elements of the reform agenda, including tighter regulation and more effective supervision; greater transparency to strengthen market discipline and limit incentives for risk taking; coherent mechanisms for resolution of failed institutions; and effective safety nets to limit the impact on the financial system of institutions viewed as "too big to fail." Finally, the book takes a look ahead at how the financial system is likely to be shaped by the efforts of policymakers and the private sector response.
Book Synopsis Basel III: Road to Resilient Banking by : John Taskinsoy
Download or read book Basel III: Road to Resilient Banking written by John Taskinsoy and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial crises since late 1990s have cost the investors a jaw-dropping nearly $20 trillion which is 25% more than the United States' 2012 GDP and it is little over one fourth of the world GDP ($79 trillion in 2011). The World Bank said "While we cannot hope to prevent crises, we can perhaps make them fewer and milder by adopting and implementing better regulation-in particular, more macro-prudential regulation." The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has released the following statement, "A strong and resilient banking system is the foundation for sustainable economic growth, as banks are at the center of the credit intermediation process between savers and investors." IMF praised Turkish financial system for its resilience during the 2008 global financial crisis and contributed its huge success to "significant capital buffers built up aftermath of the 2001 banking crisis, more effective fiscal and monetary management, strengthened banking regulation and supervision, and conservative banking practices." Turkish Banking sector currently has a comfortable 16.5% CAR which is well above Basel II's current 7% or Basel III's 10.5% minimum capital requirement effective by 2019.

Book Synopsis Resilience in Latin America by : Mr.Jose De Gregorio
Download or read book Resilience in Latin America written by Mr.Jose De Gregorio and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the unprecedented resilience of Latin American countries to the global financial crisis. It argues that sound macroeconomic conditions, which allowed an unusual monetary and fiscal expansion, exchange rate flexibility, a strong and well--regulated financial system, high level of reserves, and a bit of luck coming from very high terms of trade, were central to good economic performance. Persevering along the road of strong macroeconomic and financial policies is necessary, but not sufficient, to go from recovery to sustained growth.

Book Synopsis Investing in Resilience by : Asian Development Bank
Download or read book Investing in Resilience written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investing in Resilience: Ensuring a Disaster-Resistant Future focuses on the steps required to ensure that investment in disaster resilience happens and that it occurs as an integral, systematic part of development. At-risk communities in Asia and the Pacific can apply a wide range of policy, capacity, and investment instruments and mechanisms to ensure that disaster risk is properly assessed, disaster risk is reduced, and residual risk is well managed. Yet, real progress in strengthening resilience has been slow to date and natural hazards continue to cause significant loss of life, damage, and disruption in the region, undermining inclusive, sustainable development. Investing in Resilience offers an approach and ideas for reflection on how to achieve disaster resilience. It does not prescribe specific courses of action but rather establishes a vision of a resilient future. It stresses the interconnectedness and complementarity of possible actions to achieve disaster resilience across a wide range of development policies, plans, legislation, sectors, and themes. The vision shows how resilience can be accomplished through the coordinated action of governments and their development partners in the private sector, civil society, and the international community. The vision encourages “investors” to identify and prioritize bundles of actions that collectively can realize that vision of resilience, breaking away from the current tendency to pursue disparate and fragmented disaster risk management measures that frequently trip and fall at unforeseen hurdles. Investing in Resilience aims to move the disaster risk reduction debate beyond rhetoric and to help channel commitments into investment, incentives, funding, and practical action
Book Synopsis The Resilient Society by : Markus Brunnermeier

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Financial Times Best Book of the Year for 2021 People in a resilient society are able to bounce back from shocks, such as pandemics and economic crises. Lacking resilience, societies, families and individuals can reach tipping points from which they cannot recover. The Resilient Society by Princeton University economist Markus Brunnermeier describes how individuals, institutions and nations can successfully navigate a dynamic, globalized economy filled with unknown risks. The author applies his macroeconomic insights to public health, innovation, public debt overhang, innovation, inequality, climate change and challenges to the global order, offering ground-breaking blueprints for the reconstruction of societies and economies in a post-Covid world. Written for business leaders, economists, policymakers and politically interested citizens, the book argues that the concept of resilience can be a compass for developing a social contract that benefits all people.
