Overview

This book explores the potential and problems of bank safety and efficiency arising from the rapidly growing area of cross-border banking in the form of branches or subsidiaries with primarily only national prudential regulation. There are likely to be differences in the treatment of the same bank operating in different countries or of different banks from different home countries operating in the same country with respect to deposit insurance provisions, declaration of insolvency, resolution of insolvencies, and lender of last resort protection. The book identifies these protection problems and discusses possible solutions, such as greater cross-border cooperation, harmonization and organizations.The contributors to this book include experts from different countries and from a wide range of affiliations, including academia, regulators, practitioners, and international organizations.Contents: Special Addresses: Cross-Border Banking Regulation — A Way Forward: The European Case (Stefan Ingves) Remarks before the Conference on International Financial Instability (Sheila C Bair) Benign Financial Conditions, Asset Management, and Political Risks: Trying to Make Sense of Our Times (Raghuram G Rajan) International Financial Instability: Cross-Border Banking and National Regulation Chicago — Dinner Remarks (Jean Pierre Sabourin) Landscape of International Banking and Financial Crises: Current State of Cross-Border Banking (Dirk Schoenmaker & Christiaan van Laecke) Actual and Near-Miss Cross-Border Crises (Carl-Johan Lindgren) A Review of Financial Stability Reports (Sander Oosterloo, Jakob de Haan, & Richard Jong-A-Pin) Discussion of Landscape of International Banking and Financial Crises (Luc Laeven) Causes and Conditions for Cross-Border Instability Transmission and Threats to Stability: Cross-Border Contagion Links and Banking Problems in the Nordic Countries (Bent Vale) Currency Crises, (Hidden) Linkages, and Volume (Max Bruche, Jon Danielsson & Gabriele Galati) What Do We Know about the Performance and Risk of Hedge Funds?
