The monograph presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on European banking, both at a macro and a
micro level. It analyses the impact of the pandemic on bank
stability, performance and credit policies, as well as their
strategic adjustments to the challenges brought about by the
COVID-19 pandemic. The initial chapters analyze the various
governmental responses to the pandemic. Topics of discussion
include the scale and scope of the wide range of public policies
undertaken to mitigate the consequences of the crisis, and their
efficiency in limiting the negative impact of the pandemic on the
economy. The results suggest that the extensive public
interventions have been largely successful in averting the possible
disastrous consequences for the financial sector on a macro level.
On a micro level, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the
restructuring and recovery of the banking industry started after
the 2008 crisis which has had a significant impact on economies
around the world, arguably leading to a negative long-lasting
effect on sustainable development. To examine this, the book
focuses on the impact of the pandemic on bank lending policies,
bank stability and performance, and on competitive position of the
banks vis a vis the FinTech sector. Offering a thorough overview of
the issues that banks will have to face as a consequence of
pandemic related macroeconomic and industry adjustments, the book
will be of interest to scholars, researchers and students of
banking and finance as well as banking specialists concerned with
the impact of crises on financial markets, risks and resilience.
This book discusses the transformation of the banking industry,
particularly after a number of recent shocks: 2008 financial
crisis, 2012 Euro-sovereign crisis, the pandemic COVID-19 crisis,
the technological revolution, and reputational problems in banking
due to climate risk and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance)
metrics. The book emphasizes two post-pandemic issues: the role of
financial education and inclusive finance, and responsible banking
and ESG priorities. Individual chapters analyse how the pandemic
shed new light on social and governance responsibilities: Major
issues include the importance and efficiency of financial
education, and the impact of ESG programs on firms’ value,
banks’ probability of default, bank business models and
reputation risk. The book also addresses investors’ behaviour and
the factors which may bias financial disclosure and reporting. By
addressing whether the post-2008 crisis bank restructuring has
effectively created a resilient and sustainable banking system –
mostly from the European market’s perspective – the book will
be of interest to researchers, academics, policy makers, and
professionals of banking and financial institutions.
This timely reader of seminal papers published by Palgrave on
behalf of Comparative Economic Studies, examines how and why
foreign banks enter emerging markets and the positive benefits they
bring to the host countries.
Throughout much of the twentieth century, economists paid little
heed to the role of financial intermediaries in procuring a
beneficial allocation of capital. By the end of the century,
however, some financial historians had begun to turn the tide, and
the phrase 'finance-growth nexus' became part of the lexicon of
modern economics. Recent experience has added another dimension in
that countries with broader, deeper and more active financial
systems might be prone to financial crises, particularly if
regulatory structures are inadequate. In this book, Peter L.
Rousseau and Paul Wachtel have gathered together some of today's
most distinguished financial historians to examine this
finance-growth nexus from both historical and modern perspectives.
Some essays examine the nexus in a particular historical or
cross-country context. Others, in the light of recent experience,
explore the expanded nexus of finance, growth, crises, and
regulation.
Banking in Transition Economies is a modern analysis of banking in
the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe and includes
a detailed examination of banking in the first five years of
transition as well as policy recommendations for banking reform in
the region. This authoritative book presents an extensive
investigation of changes in the structure of the banking industry
and the progress of privatization, particularly in Hungary, Poland
and the Czech Republic. Privatization and the restructuring of
'problem banks' are analysed as well as the strategy for
re-capitalization and bank failure, and the role of foreign banks
in bringing reform to the region. The book offers policy
prescriptions for the transition from a passive banking structure
to an active financial sector supporting the development of the
industrial sector, and for the role of the state after
privatization. This book will be of great importance to bankers in
Central and Eastern Europe and economists interested in the process
of transition, as well as financial and monetary economists.
This volume presents the proceedings of an international conference
held in 1986, a year in which the policy frictions between Japan
and the United States were particularly heated. The issues
discussed herein are of broader interest than the crises reported
in the daily press. The conference programme and discussions
attempt to put these crises in perspective and thereby contribute
to our understanding of economic policy.
