This text provides a modern statement of the theory and practice
of domestic and international banking and finance. Today, banks are
no longer limited to retail deposit-taking and lending operations;
they engage in wholesale banking activities, off-balance sheet
business, and activities beyond domestic markets. The principles of
all these types of bank services are lucidly discussed. Separate
chapters provide general background on payments systems,
Eurocurrency markets, bank safety and depositor protection.The
authors' conception is unique in providing a comparative study in a
geographical sense (they deal with banking in the U.S., Britain,
and Australia) and in an institutional sense, tracing parallels
between operations of banks and other financial institutions,
particularly insurance companies.With the growing impact of
financial innovations and the internationalization of financial
markets, Domestic and International Banking is the innovative text
needed for courses on monetary and banking policy and on capital
markets and financial institutions.Mervyn K. Lewis is Midland Bank
Professor of Money and Banking at the University of Nottingham, and
Kevin T. Davis is Professor of Finance at the University of
Melbourne.
