Review Competition and Convergence in Financial Markets (Advances in Finance, Investment and Banking) (Advances in Finance, Investment and Banking) / North Holland:As Europe prepares for the introduction of a common currency, financial market players are moving to adapt to a new environment in which financial markets and institutions will be much more open to cross-border competition. Two different financial systems are responding to the challenges of more competition: the more institution-oriented German-style and the more market-oriented Anglo-American style. Each type of financial system offers its own strengths and weaknesses. The German system is noted for fostering a long-term outlook and steady relationships between borrowers and lenders in an environment of financial and macroeconomic stability. The Anglo-American system is thought of as providing a more favourable environment for startup firms to obtain market financing, as well as more attractive returns to investors and a more dynamic market for corporate control. On the other hand, the Anglo-American system is faulted for its short-term outlook and lack of attention to other than shareholder concerns, while the German system has been criticized as lacking in innovation and attention to shareholders. The overall conclusions of this volume are: (1) each type of financial system has strengths and weaknesses, and each can learn from the other in mending its own faults; (2) the globalization of financial markets, the inadequacy of existing pension arrangements, and the monetary unification of Europe are all driving each system towards a middle ground which adopts the advantages of the universal bank and the strengths of the open financial market.

Review Islamic Law and the State: The Constitutional Jurisprudence of Shihab Al-Din Al-Qarafi (Studies in Islamic Law and Society) (Studies in Islamic Law and Society) / Brill Academic Publishers:This book deals with an Ayyubid-Mamluk Egyptian jurist's attempt to come to terms with the potential conflict between power, represented in the state, and authority, represented in the schools of law, particularly where one school enjoys a privileged status with the state. It deals with the history of the relationship between the schools of law, particularly in Mamluk Egypt, in the context of the running history of Islamic law from the formative period during which ijtihad was the dominant hegemony, into the post-formative period during which taqlid came to dominate. It also deals with the internal structure and operation of the madhhab, as the sole repository of legal authority. Finally, the book includes a discussion of the limits of law and the legal process, the former imposing limits on the legal jurisdiction of the jurists and the schools, the latter imposing limits on the executive authority of the state.

Review The Separation of Commercial and Investment Banking: The Glass-Steagall Act Revisited and Reconsidered / Oxford University Press, USA:The 1933 passage of the Glass-Steagall Act by Congress has profoundly effected the way banking has been conducted in the United States. Designed to prevent the kinds of bank failures that resulted from the Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed, the Act made it illegal for commercial banks to engage in investment banking, and for investment banks to engage in commercial banking. This study explores the reasons for the passage of the Act, offers new insights into the forces that shaped the final legislation, and examines the possible consequences of repealing the Act-arguing that repeal will not result in the resumption of the problems that created a need for protective legislation.

Review Handbook of Central Banking And Financial Authorities in Europe: New Architectures in the Supervision of Financial Markets (Elgar Original Reference) / Edward Elgar Publishing:Analyzing ongoing changes in the design of regulatory and supervisory authorities over the banking and financial industry in Europe, this comprehensive Handbook pays particular attention to the role of national central banks, the new financial supervisory authorities and the European Central Bank (ECB). The contributors, all experts in their fields, begin by presenting the current situation in Europe, focusing on the role of the central banks, before going on to illustrate the supervisory architecture reforms of the late 1990s. The Handbook also highlights the emerging role of new integrated financial authorities through an analysis of different national case studies. This new original reference book concludes with a review of the various options now available for the design of supervisory architecture at the European level, considering also the possible involvement of the ECB. The Handbook tackles a number of controversial issues including: why financial supervision architecture is important and why the issue has arisen at the present time? the roles of national central banks and national policymakers in alternative financial supervisory structures; and the advantages and potential hazards of single financial authorities unified or integrated agencies. This essential Handbook is a major multidisciplinary work and will be of great value to scholars and academics - principally in economics, finance and European studies but also politics and law - as well as regulators and supervisory institutions.

Review The Evolution of Central Banks / MIT Press (MA):"The Evolution of Central Banks employs a wide range of historical evidence and reassesses current monetary analysis to argue that the development of non-profit-maximizing and noncompetitive central banks to supervise and regulate the commercial banking system fulfils a necessary and natural function. Goodhart surveys the case for free banking, examines the key role of the clearing house in the evolution of the central bank, and investigates bank expansion and fluctuation in the context of the clearing house mechanism. He concludes that it is the noncompetitive aspect of the central bank that is crucial to the performance of its role. Goodhart addresses the questions of deposit insurance and takes up the "club theory" approach to the central bank. Included in the historical study of their origins are 8 European central banks, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve Board of the United States. Charles Goodhart was appointed to the newly established Norman Sosnow Chair of Banking and Finance at the London School of Economics in 1985. For the previous 17 years he served as a monetary economist at the Bank of England, becoming a Chief Adviser in 1980.

Review Strategic Credit Management / Wiley:Timely, authoritative, prescriptive- an essential tool of survival in today's complex lending environment. "The subject matter of this book is important and topical. The authors combine a balance of scholarly and practitioner approaches to banking. "-Edward Altman author of Handbook of Corporate Finance Leonard Stern School of Business, New York University "There is a market for this book. The industry has undergone significant changes over the past five years and we anticipate continued evolution in the foreseeable future. I recommend it. "- Roger Tully Senior Vice President, United Jersey Bank In today's increasingly complex, fiercely competitive lending environment, Strategic Credit Management offers a balanced mix of scholarly analysis and practical hands-on advice and guidance. the authors: * Review and analyze, in depth, the entire field of credit management in light of the changes occurring since deregulation began in the early 1980s * Clearly identify the deep-rooted systemic problems that contribute to most credit management failures * Offer a set of clear-cut guidelines for strategically reengineering your organization's credit management process * Provide proven strategies and cutting-edge quantitative techniques for successful credit analysis, credit management, loan structuring, loan workouts, and more * Outline a detailed, easy-to-implement program for management training and retraining Successive waves of deregulation/regulation occurring since the early 1980s. [+]the rapid emergence of new, highly aggressive domestic and foreign competitors. the continuing erosion of the banking/S&L wholesale loan portfolio. these are just some of the major forces that have conspired to reshape the face of banking in America radically over the past several years. But no matter how different today's banks are from a generation ago, and no matter how many new products and services they now offer, their number one source of capital assets continues to be making loans. If they are to survive and thrive in the turbulent banking environment of the 1990s, commercial banking institutions must adopt a more versatile, far-reaching strategic approach to credit management suitable to today's increasingly complex, fiercely competitive lending environment. This book addresses these issues and provides a framework around which a modern credit management process can be built. Written by Sam N. Basu, a distinguished academic and banking professional, and Harold L. Rolfes, Jr. , a banking and investment professional who has held executive positions at one of North America's most prestigious financial institutions, Strategic Credit Management provides commercial banking executives with a blueprint for strategic change in managing credit risk in the 1990s. The authors begin with an in-depth review and analysis of the entire field of credit management in light of the many changes that have swept the industry since deregulation began in the early 1980s. They then clearly identify the deep-rooted systemic problems that contribute to most commercial banks' lending failures. Working from the first principle that the objective of the credit management process isn't avoiding bad loans, but making good ones, they next offer a set of clear-cut guidelines and action steps that readers can take to strategically reengineer their organizations' credit management process. The authors provide proven strategies and cutting-edge techniques for successful credit analysis, credit management, loan structuring, and loan workouts. And they even outline a detailed, easy-to-implement program for management training with an emphasis on fostering the ability to adapt quickly to the ever-changing legal, regulatory, and market conditions surrounding credit management. Timely, authoritative, and prescriptive, Strategic Credit Management is an essential tool of survival in today's helter-skelter banking environment.

Review A Guide to Islamic Finance / Risk Books:A concise report for senior executives in investment banks and structured products to quickly grasp the principles behind Islamic finance and understand how to develop products that would comply with Islamic principles. The latest addition to the popular Risk Books Executive Reports series will enable you to get involved in this US$300 billion business. Although the roots of Islamic finance lie in ancient Islamic principles, the development of Islamic finance as an industry is relatively new. Whilst conventional commercial banks provide financial intermediation services on the basis of interest (charged and paid), the basic premise of Islamic finance is the prohibition of interest. Islamic bankers have developed a number of instruments that can perform financial intermediation functions without the involvement of interest. From a small banking experiment in rural Egypt during the 1960s, Islamic finance is currently expanding at a rate of 10-15% per annum. It now represents a vast global practice and the preferred channel of banking for one fifth of humanity. Rapid growth is expected for this industry and Islamic finance offers bright prospects for those involved. One of the reasons for this optimism is the huge amount of petro-dollars (estimated to be US$1. 3 trillion) currently afloat due to the post Iraq war increase in oil prices. [+]As a result of which, the number of high net worth individuals in the Middle East (of whom the majority are Muslim) has increased by 9. 5% over the past few years. Consequently there is tremendous scope for developing and marketing new Islamic financial instruments and Shari ah compliant money managers are extremely well positioned. In order to take advantage of this growth, familiarity with basic principles of Islamic finance is essential. The author of this new report, Munawar Iqbal, Dean of the School of Islamic Banking and Finance in International Islamic University, Islamabad does not assume such familiarity. He presents the fundamentals in a way that non-Muslim, non-Arabic speaking professionals may quickly grasp the principles. An extensive glossary of Arabic terms is also included. By reading this concise report you will quickly get up-to-speed on this booming financial sector. Islamic Finance will help you: Become acquainted with the theory, practice and limitations of Islamic banking; Understand how to develop products for the Islamic financial industry; Grasp the objectives and sources of Islamic law and the basic guidelines for business contracts; Evaluate and implement the Islamic banking model and the financial modes presently in use by Islamic financial institutions; Learn about Islamic fund management and insurance; Consider future prospects and opportunities of the Islamic financial industry Due to the success of Islamic banking, many conventional commercial banks are now offering their clients Islamic financial services. Several mega multinational banks such as Citibank, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, are already actively involved in Islamic finance. This is recommended reading for anyone hoping to take advantage of the boom in Islamic finance.
