The paper provides an assessment of the recommendations of the Financial System Inquiry and the Government's reform proposals relating to the regulatory structure, financial safety and the mega-prudential regulator, systemic stability, and competition policy in the financial sector. It is argued that key reform proposals are based on explicit or implicit assumptions relating to the workings of financial markets and institutions. The Report fails to test those assumptions against contemporary and prospective circumstances to determine the practical worth of the recommendations.

The Stability

As the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout continue, policymakers keep a watchful eye on the stability of the financial system. Having learned many lessons from the financial crisis of 2007–2009, they may again turn to that crisis for insights into potential vulnerabilities emerging in the financial sector and ways to make financial markets and institutions more resilient to shocks. At a recent conference on financial stability, 12 papers and two keynotes explored this ground. This Commentary summarizes the papers’ findings and the keynotes.

This chapter describes the overall legal and regulatory framework supporting financial markets in Hong Kong. This is developed in tandem with, and in response to, their characteristics. Regulatory reforms in the financial markets of Hong Kong have typically been developed after a financial crisis and market failure. However, while Hong Kong has not always had effective systems of financial regulation, it has been steadily strengthening its regulatory framework both for financial markets and institutions. This chapter argues that the increasing effectiveness of its legal and institutional regulatory framework has enhanced its development as an international financial centre over the past two decades and will be vital to its continued success in the future. The chapter concludes by outlining the common objectives of the Hong Kong financial regulators today.

AbstractThe current banking crisis has reminded us of how risks materialising in one part of the financial system can have a widespread impact, affecting other financial markets and institutions and the broader economy. This paper, prepared on behalf of the Actuarial Profession, examines how such events have an impact on the entire financial system and explores whether such disturbances may arise within the insurance and pensions sectors as well as within banking. The paper seeks to provide an overview of a number of banking and other financial crises which have occurred in the past, illustrated by four case studies. It discusses what constitutes asystemicevent and what distinguishes it from a large aggregate system wide shock. Finally, it discusses how policy-makers can respond to the risk of such systemic financial failures.

Global Financial System

Excessive regulatory practices to combat anti-money laundering (AML) have the potential to ‘de-bank’ entire regions and deprive certain communities of their participation in traditional financial markets. While protecting the integrity of the global financial system and shutting down some illicit activities, this may also facilitate the development of alternative remittance systems (ARSs) and payment mechanisms, the so-called shadow banking systems, where AML compliance is not adequate. This article will critically re-examine the relationship between the overregulation of financial markets and the shift to ARSs. It will propose a new take on ARS to include illicit activities through an international network of financial institutions and the need for the regulators to consider a better methodology for detecting ARSs outside the conventional financial sector to deal with this problem.

The Impact

A stable financial sector creates economic development. Speculative actions in financial markets cause disturbances and are an indicator of economic instability. The growth of a modern market economy more than two centuries ago is interconnected with the growth of the financial system. The averment that there is a connection between the growth of the financial and real sectors of the economy is as old as economics science. A developed financial system encourages competition, expands the market, and increases the efficiency of financial institutions. The depth and the breadth of financial markets are growing, which are transmission to the performance and structure of the economy. Through linking savings and investments, the financial system controls and manages the risks that are characteristic of financial operations and facilitates the interaction of production and consumption. The financial systems of transition countries are not sufficiently developed, so this paper aims to point out the interconnectedness and impact of the financial system on macroeconomic stability.

In modern conditions of development, financial security is an integral part of the overall security of the region and is formed on the basis of the functioning of the financial system. The complication of relationships between key segments of international financial markets, as well as the limited ability to accurately predict future trends in the development of the global financial system, lead to a gradual increase in the risks that accompany the activities of economic entities, and an increase in the number and scale of internal and external threats that have a negative impact on the financial security of the state. This formulation of the issue requires generalization of approaches to determining the financial security of the region in order to further formalize this issue and determine the key factors affecting it. The article considers the types of financial security, as well as certain areas of ensuring the financial security of the region and their priority. In work the assessment of the level of socio-economic development of the region with a view to ensuring financial security on the basis of which offers the main activities and priority areas of implementation of the investment policy that will ensure financial security of the Republic of Crimea.
