Monetary policies and international standards and norms on banking
regulations have, once again, come to the forefront of the policy
discussion in developed nations due to the recent crisis in the
world's financial markets. This discussion is far from new, nor
does it apply exclusively to the world's most advanced economies. A
stable monetary policy and a sound and well-enforced regulatory
regime can help developing nations channel financial resources more
efficiently into investments. For open economies it can also act as
a buffer, an important stability factor in today's shaky market
environment.
This book assesses the challenges facing monetary policies and the
independence of central banks. It explores banking systems and
examines the impact of monetary policy and banking sector
regulations on bank efficiency and economic growth in the Southern
and Eastern Mediterranean, at the same time investigating the level
of convergence of regulatory practices and efficiency to EU
Mediterranean standards.
Financial centres are constantly evolving to accommodate an
increasingly integrated global economy and an equally challenging
environment post financial crisis. They are home to a range of
financial services and serve as intermediaries between mostly
non-resident clients and international and local financial
institutions, large or small. Financial centres have grown over
recent decades as a direct result of the increasing importance of
financial markets across the globe. Using analysis from a
representative sample of financial centres in Europe and elsewhere,
face-to-face surveys pre and post crisis and systematic
comparisons, "Financial Centres in Europe" provides a comprehensive
assessment of the extent to which increased international
cooperation in regulation and taxation could allow financial
centres to better respond to risks and opportunities facing them in
the future. At the same time, it identifies challenges of a
geopolitical and macroeconomic nature facing financial centres in
the coming years.

representative samples and systematic comparisons of financial
centres.
