Many financial institutions have in recent years failed - failed
either completely, and gone into bankruptcy, or failed in the sense
that they have not achieved what their owners or their customers
expected them to deliver. This has had significant and adverse
effects on customers, taxpayers, shareholders, and sometimes
management. There has been much discussion of what should be done
about this, and some action has been taken. But has it been the
right kind of action? Crises of the sort being experienced are low
probability but high impact events. This volume, from an
international group of scholars, deals with two main issues:
firstly, how can the governance of the financial sector by the
authorities be improved and secondly, how can the governance of
firms and institutions within the sector be improved to render the
probability and cost of future crises lower? Poor governance has
been one of the major contributors to the global financial crisis.
With better governance of and in the financial sector the financial
crisis might well have been avoided altogether and certainly could
have been much milder in its impact. This is not simply a case of
being wise after the event. These problems were widely discussed
before the event, but little action was taken. This book explores
not only what the contribution of poor governance was to the crisis
and to its depth, but also why it is often difficult to improve
governance. The volume offers a positive critique of the measures
that are being put in place in the light of the experience of the
crisis and suggests how they might plausibly be improved. This book
will be of particular interest to students and researchers of
economics and international finance, but will also prove profitable
reading for practitioners and the interested public.
