Description

One of the key constraints to accelerated economic performance in developing countries is, in the authors' view, the absence of strong, dynamic financial systems.

Many, if not most, developing countries suffer from repressed financial systems.

Thus the most important step in effecting the development of capital markets is to lay a foundation of sound macroeconomic and regulatory policies conducive to financial sector development.

This book presents an approach to financial sector reform composed of financial sector diagnosis, policy and institutional targeting, macroeconomic reforms, bank regulation and supervisory reform, and privatization.

The work also presents criteria to help decision-makers apply the approach.

The issues and approaches presented are as relevant to the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe and such transitional countries as Brazil and Mexico as they are to developing countries. The authors begin with an introductory discussion of the two-pronged strategy of financial reform and privatization and then, in chapter 2, provide an overview of developing financial systems.

Chapter 3 discusses the public/private debate. Chapter 4 is devoted to financial sector liberalization, and chapter 5 goes on to discuss the privatization of financial institutions.

A framework for financial reform and privatization is presented in chapter 6, and chapter 7 provides concluding comments.

In addition, a series of case studies are presented in the appendix.

These case studies demonstrate the methods and strategies used to address financial sector reform in Bangladesh, Chile, Guinea, Jamaica, Mexico, and the Philippines.

This book will be useful to financial and development experts and to policy makers in countries amenable to changing their financial systems.

It would also be appropriate for courses in international economics, international banking, international monetary issues, international finance, and economic development.
