New Regulation of the Financial Industry

Written by a leading financial analyst, this book provides a detailed overview of the regulatory environment facing the financial industry at the end of the 20th century. Whilst the 1980s and early 1990s focused on de-regulation within the financial sector, today a key point of interest has become re-regulation in a global setting. The new rules of supervision stress transparency and market discipline, which has an impact on trading strategies and lending patterns as well as the ways of managing assets and liabilities. Written for analysts, traders, technologists and managers of financial institutions, this book provides coverage of the aftermath of this regulatory environment, and the implications of globalization and technological developments.
