Finance in Asia (Routledge Advanced Texts in Economics and Finance)

Asia’s demand for second-generation financial institutions and markets needs to be met in order for the region’s further development to be sustained. This book provides a compelling, fact-based assessment of current practices and regulations in Asia’s financial institutions and markets and carefully documents the exciting opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in the region’s financial systems.  This book differs in design from typical treatments of financial institutions and markets because its focus is on Asia rather than using the US model (in terms of market configurations or products) as a benchmark, and its takes a contemporary and forward-looking view of financial markets.  Examples of practice from Asia are used to illustrate major accepted themes in finance and financial regulation. To the extent that Asia’s main economies share characteristics that are distinct, for example, in the relationship between government and the banking sector, or in aspects of corporate governance, the book will discuss the consequences for market operation and intermediation.  The book’s carefully structured facts and rigorously argued analysis carry important implications both for students in business and law and for professionals new to financial markets in Asia. It will change the way that Asian financial markets and institutions is taught in universities as well as provide a valuable resource for professionals working in finance in Asia.

In this comprehensive, accessible work, Ross P. Buckley, Douglas W. Arner, and Dirk A. Zetzsche offer an ideal reference for anyone seeking to understand the technological transformation of finance and the role of regulation: the world of FinTech. They consider FinTech technologies including artificial intelligence, blockchain, BigData, cloud computing, cryptocurrencies, central bank digital currencies, and distributed ledger technology, and provide a unique perspective on FinTech as an interactive system involving finance, technology, law, and regulation. Starting with an evolutionary perspective, the authors then consider the major technologies transforming finance, arguing for approaches to balance the risks and challenges of innovation. They address the central role of infrastructure in digital financial transformation, highlighting lessons from China, India, and the EU, as well as the impact of pandemics and other sustainability crises, while considering the risks generated by FinTech. They conclude by offering forward-looking regulatory strategies to address the challenges facing our world today.

The global financial system--founded on principles of capital account liberalization, the process by which barriers to capital flows between nations are eliminated and financial globalization facilitated--has proven highly crisis-prone and deficient for debtors and creditors alike. Since 2008 we have been learning once again that mistakes in global finance can bring rich countries to the brink of bankruptcy and appalling suffering to the poorest citizens of poor countries. The predictable response measures of institutional economists fail to stop the continuing sacrifice of the lives of thousands and the futures of millions. This book presents a powerful indictment of this regulatory failure and calls for greatly increased attention to international financial law and a new recognition of the principles that ought to underlie it. Using a historical approach that compares the various financial crises of the twentieth century, the authors clearly show how in each case the same misconceived economic policy responses paved the way for the next ""crash"". Among the numerous topics that arise in the course of this revealing analysis are the following:  bank profitability and market share; floating interest rates; overvalued exchange rates; excess liquidity; premature liberalization of local financial markets; OTC derivatives markets; accounting standards; credit ratings and credit rating agencies; investor protection arrangements; insurance companies; payment, clearing and settlement activities; capital controls; and debt-for-development exchanges.   The author offers detailed commentary on: the role of multilateral development banks, the IMF, and the WTO in crisis response; measures stemming from the Basel Accords, the Brady Plan, and other response initiatives; and proposals by the European Commission, the G20, and other groups, including financial transaction tax schemes and a global sovereign bankruptcy regime. Apart from its great usefulness as a detailed introduction to the international financial system and its regulation, the book is enormously valuable for its clear identification of the specific ""danger zones"" in economic policy that prevent regulators from intercepting the vicious cycle of financial crisis. Banking and investment policymakers at every level (not to mention bankers and investors themselves) cannot afford to neglect this book.
