Global Banking Supervision - Online

Banks serve unique economic functions and those functions are directly related to their inherent vulnerability. Weaknesses in the banking system of a country, whether developing or developed, can threaten financial stability both within that country and internationally. In today’s financial environment, dominated by a dynamic, aggressive financial service industry, banks as major players operate with greater freedom. Banks are exposed to greater financial risks than before due to the appearance of more complex and dynamic transactions that have substantially increased uncertainties. Advances in IT technology, capital movements and geographical extension of banking business have become the new engines of global integration. What seems to be important for banking systems is not the size, but the level of compliance with the internationally accepted rules and standards, and their functionality.
