The globalization of the world economy poses significant challenges for policy makers, regulators and legal professionals. The Asian and Brazilian financial crises have shown that difficulties in the banking sectors of some economies can have serious repercussions across world financial markets. It is clear that a sound legal infrastructure is crucial to promote financial stability in this global market. Particularly in the case of international bank failures, the need for harmonized and effective international insolvency procedures is becoming increasingly apparent. It is against this background that the Bank for International Settlements organised a workshop on International Bank Insolvencies in the summer of 1998. This work presents the edited workshop papers by expert lawyers from over 20 national central banks, the European Central Bank, the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision and the UN Commission on International Trade Law. Nineteen country reports provide a comprehensive overview of central banks and other institutions responsible for banking supervision and the co-ordination between authorities involved in insolvency procedures. The authors further discuss the instruments employed for crisis prevention and resolution and issues arising in the aftermath of a bank failure in the respective jurisdictions. In addition, twelve expert papers discuss issues ranging from specific national experiences to attempts at co-operation and harmonisation at regional and international level. The book further includes in annex the text of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and the EC Finality Directive.
This new book from MOCOMILA, the Monetary Law Committee of the ILA,
is a unique collaboration of the top academic and practitioner
monetary and financial lawyers from around the world. It examines
current legal issues of international monetary and financial law in
the light of the current global financial crisis and consequent
reforms of international and domestic financial architecture. The
book deals with post-crisis financial regulation and supervision,
including that of rating agencies and sovereign wealth funds, and
financial crisis resolution with an analysis of bank rescue
operations.
This unique collaboration between the top academic and practitioner monetary lawyers from around the world takes the first steps towards filling the current gap in the literature for a truly systematic text on the modern international monetary law system. It tackles all of the key issues for practitioners in the field today, drawing upon the experience of many contributors from within the most important international banking institutions.
