"Global Financial Deregulation is a significant contribution to our understanding of the fast changing character of modern banking. Practitioners, teachers and students will greatly benefit from this important book." Jacob A Frenkel, Governor Bank of Israel, formerly Economic Counsellor and Director of Research, International Monetary Fund "The astute banker will seek out all available resources for building the reservoir of knowledge so essential in the development and ultimate success of his bank. Global Financial Deregulation is an essential and up-to-the-moment addition to the banker's library. It provides a global perspective on the arena in which international bankers will be performing for perhaps the next half-century." Jeffrey C Keil, President, Republic New York Corporation "Global financial Deregulation provides a lucid and stimulating analysis of recent developments in commercial banking, as well as new and penetrating insights into the future of banking. Coverage of the current state of banking makes it especially timely and relevant." Moshe Sanbar, Chairman, Bank Leumi Le Israel, Former Governor, Bank of Israel
GLOBAL FINANCIAL DEREGULATION Deregulation, globalization, and financial innovation are transforming financial markets and banking systems around the world. Global Financial Deregulation provides an indepth description of the banking systems of seven industrialized countries, the trends and developments affecting them, and the implications for the future of commercial banking. The first part examines the structure and function of the financial markets and banking systems of the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, Switzerland, Germany, and France. The regulatory environment, international involvement, accounting, and tax treatment of the banking industry is described, as well as the effects of securitization, increased competition, deregulation, and globalization. Swary and Topf analyse the impact of these developments on bank performance, focusing on indicators such as net interest spread, non-interest income, doubtful loans, and capital adequacy. The second part analyses the major trends that are reshaping financial markets, and their implications for commercial banking. Against the background of securitization and financial innovation, the convergence of capital adequacy requirements, and the single European market, the critical issues facing banking are examined:
