Overview

Under growing pressure from within and outside their economies, countries around the world have embarked upon wide-ranging programmes of financial reform. This handbook provides country studies of contemporary developments in financial reform in a selection of both developed and developing countries from Western Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia. The outcome is an account of the contemporary world-wide attempt to refashion the way in which the financial services industry (and especially the banking sector) is regulated and supervised.

Reviews

'The editor did an excellent job in editing this Handbook... each chapter gives a very clear and highly informative account of how each country struggles during a crisis and manages to reform their financial industry, as well as the supervision that goes alongside it. What makes this Handbook great reading is the formula followed almost faithfully by all the contributors of the book.' -- Michael Ong, Journal of Financial Regulation and Compliance
