by Abdullahi Dahir Ahmed, Sardar M. N. Islam
Part of the Contributions to Economics series
Paperback / softback
Description
The recent global ?nancial crisis has made ?nancial liberalization a topic of great academic and practical interest.
This book makes new contributions to the topic by combining fact-?nding, empirical analysis, and theory to examine the relationship between ?nancial liberalization and economic growth.
Among its contributions, the book provides detailed country assessments on the effects of ?nancial liberalization, including its striking impact on the banking sector.
Although an important goal of ?nancial deregulation has been to help ?nancial institutions better perform their role in intermediating resources, the book models how deregulation may fail to achieve that goal in countries with underdeveloped ?nancial markets and institutions.
For that purpose, the book draws on actual experience in Kenya, Malawi, Botswana, and Thailand.
This book should constitute important reading for students of ?nancial economics, researchers and general academics, ?nancial practitioners, policymakers, and teachers of economics.
