The subject of bank stability has been under a great amount of
political and legislative scrutiny since the mid-2007 to late-2009
global financial crisis. However, these efforts have centred on
developed economies. Little coverage is given to strategies adopted
by many developing economies. While there is a global discourse on
the subject of insolvency generally, there is ample scope to
contribute to the growing body of work on the narrow subject of
bank insolvencies. This book provides a unique perspective on an
emerging theme in at least two respects. First is the focus on
selected developing economies and selected developed economies in
the EMEA region alongside cross-border developments, with the
objective of deciphering the regulatory approach to bank
insolvencies. The second is the analytical consideration of methods
that may be implemented to preclude or resolve bank insolvencies in
developing economies. This book explores the nexus between
developing economies and their banking institutions. Developing
economies are acutely dependent on their banks for the functioning
of their cash-based economies. Recent events, however, suggest a
weakness in the long-term viability of some of their banks and a
mixed-bag regulatory approach to redress this weakness. This book
evaluates the effectiveness of regulatory frameworks in selected
developing economies that are designed to prevent or resolve the
insolvency of banks. At a time of global economic uncertainty, this
book will prove to be a valuable resource to the discourse on the
viability of banks, businesses, and economies in developing States.
There is little literature on the development of banking regulation
in Nigeria, or the scope of powers of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
which is its core banking sector regulator. The critical impetus of
this book is to contribute to the literature of this area, with a
detailed exploration of the Nigerian regulatory architecture. In
addition, the book also engages in a comparative analysis with two
emerging economies in Africa: South Africa and Kenya. It also
considers the UK and the US as comparator jurisdictions in light of
their regulatory responses to the global financial crisis of 2008.
This book contributes to the ongoing discourse in this area by
exploring, in detail, the theoretical underpinnings of regulation
and supervision, to determine whether there is an understanding of
what constitutes effective regulation in these jurisdictions. Given
that Nigeria is the core jurisdictional focus, a historical account
of banking exchanges from the pre-colonial era to more recent times
is provided. Offering an understanding of how political, local and
economic settings, in conjunction with the theories of regulation,
have impacted and influenced regulatory development in Nigeria, the
book engages in an examination of Nigeria's historical experiences
with bank failures, including the banking crisis it experienced in
2008. The newly enacted Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act
2020 is also explored as part of this discourse. Through a critical
analysis of the law, the book demonstrates that the Nigerian
regulator has historically adopted a reactionary strategy, instead
of a proactive and pragmatic approach, which is imperative for an
effective regulatory regime. The outcome of this analysis is that
there are lessons to be learned, and proposals are discussed in
order to rethink the act of banking regulation.
