The International Handbook on Financial Reform

"This Handbook provides country studies of the latest developments in financial reform in a selection of both developed and developing countries from Western Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia, written by experts in their fields. The outcome is an account of the current world-wide attempt to refashion the way in which the financial services industry (and especially the banking sector) is regulated and supervised." "This comprehensive reference work contains a wealth of up-to-date knowledge, presented in an accessible manner and with a standardised format. It will be of interest to scholars of central banking and international banking reforms as well as policymakers, legislators, practitioners and organisations from the banking world."--BOOK JACKET.
