DOWNLOAD EBOOKA distinguished economist examines competition, regulation, and stability in today's global banks Does too much competition in banking hurt society? What policies can best protect and stabilize banking without stifling it? Institutional responses to such questions have evolved over time, from interventionist regulatory control after the Great Depression to the liberalization policies that started in the United States in the 1970s. The global financial crisis of 2007–2009, which originated from an oversupply of credit, once again raised questions about excessive banking competition and what should be done about it. Competition and Stability in Banking addresses the critical relationships between competition, regulation, and stability, and the implications of coordinating banking regulations with competition policies. Xavier Vives argues that while competition is not responsible for fragility in banking, there are trade-offs between competition and stability. Well-designed regulations would alleviate these trade-offs but not eliminate them, and the specificity of competition in banking should be accounted for. Vives argues that regulation and competition policy should be coordinated, with tighter prudential requirements in more competitive situations, but he also shows that supervisory and competition authorities should stand separate from each other, each pursuing its own objective. Vives reviews the theory and empirics of banking competition, drawing on up-to-date analysis that incorporates the characteristics of modern market-based banking, and he looks at regulation, competition policies, and crisis interventions in Europe and the United States, as well as in emerging economies. Focusing on why banking competition policies are necessary, Competition and Stability in Banking examines regulation's impact on the industry's efficiency and effectiveness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this report the Treasury Committee concludes that the pre-conditions for effective competition in the retail banking market are not present. The Committee highlights in particular a lack of price transparency and comparability in the personal current account market, as well as the difficulty of switching. The report calls on the Government to make competition a primary objective of the new regulatory body, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It also recommends a "public interest test" based on competition considerations for proposed future divestments of Government-held stakes in the banks. Given the continuing importance many consumers attach to a branch network, especially for current account services, the report notes that new entrants without access to an extensive branch network will be at a considerable disadvantage to established banks for the foreseeable future. This means that the Government needs to examine carefully where it can help improve the conditions for effective competition. New entry and reductions to barriers to entry and expansion may alone prove insufficient to tackle the problem of ineffective competition. As a result, the Committee urges the Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) to examine seriously whether there is a case for further structural reforms, over and above the RBS and Lloyds Banking Group divestments, to reduce concentration and promote competition. Solving the 'too big to fail' problem is critically important from a competition as well as a financial stability perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInternational Banking and Finance Law Series, Volume 37 Despite open banking’s broad emergence in a variety of jurisdictions and the ambition shared for the benefits it is to deliver, there is a distinct lack of detailed analysis of the legal features which are needed for it to be effectively established. This indispensable study is the first to analyse open banking’s legal foundations by reference to banking law rather than to privacy law or competition law. With a detailed focus on the mature open banking systems of Australia and the United Kingdom, including Australia’s Consumer Data Right, the book’s thoroughgoing legal perspective provides a comprehensive framework which can be used to evaluate and design open banking in any jurisdiction. The presentation proceeds through a comparison of the legal rights, responsibilities, and relationships under open banking systems with equivalent rights in traditional banking payment systems. This process clearly reveals and addresses such salient open banking and data-sharing issues as the following: what data should be shareable and who should be required to share data; how data should be shared and how rights to share data should be established; the role of data minimisation and the role of consent; how laws, standards, rules, and technology interact in an open banking system; how open banking fosters competition, innovation, and financial inclusion; how consumer protection can be included by design; management of quality and security of shared data; facilitation and regulation of participation; legal relationships and allocation of liability among participants; compensation for customers if something goes wrong; strategic challenges and opportunities; enforceability and insolvency; systemic efficacy and safety; and the role of trust. Also included is an assessment framework designed to categorise the risks which arise in open banking and other data-sharing systems. As a systematic appraisal of how banking law can be used to ensure the customer autonomy, data portability, recipient accountability and participant connectivity promised by open banking systems, the book’s legal perspective on the value of customer data will prove of inestimable value for lawyers in banking and finance, as well as for professionals in financial services or information technology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe provision of social services in Australia has changed dramatically in recent decades, raising a range of important questions about financial and democratic accountability: 'who benefits', 'who suffers' and 'who decides'. This book explores these developments through rich case studies of a diverse set of social policy domains. The case studies demonstrate a range of effects of marketisation, including the impact on the experience of consumer engagement with social service systems, on the distribution of social advantage and disadvantage, and on the democratic steering of social policy.
