Financial Market Regulation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Equity Markets in Transition

Abstract

A well-functioning financial system is indispensable for economic growth. To that end, the overall objective of the current regulatory reform process is to guarantee, globally, financial market stability. In this context, one of the most important preconditions for stability is a system of working financial market infrastructure (FMIs). Every analysis of financial markets must naturally account for its infrastructure regulations.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Financial market stability is a multidimensional construct with the most important factors being system stability and investor/customer protection and the core element of guaranteeing fair, safe, and sound markets through the elimination of risks for market infrastructure and participants that might also affect the internal market and the real economy.

  2. 2.

  9. 9.

    Similar to banks, shadow banks perform term transformations by financing long-term assets with short-term loans (breaking the “golden rule” of duration symmetry), outside the banking system and without access to central bank liquidity. Basic capital requirements that are valid for banks can thus be avoided.

    Financial innovation, however, is not by itself an impairing factor for financial markets—on the contrary. The problem lies—as usual—in the specific construction, use, and rating of those instruments. For a detailed analysis of and outlook on the securitization market see [3].

    The term “new (financial) order” was coined in 2003 by Yale Professor and Nobel Laureate Robert J. Shiller: “The New Financial Order proposes a radically new risk management infrastructure to help secure the wealth of nations: to preserve the billions of minor—and not so minor—economic gains that sustain people around the world” ([18], p. IX).

    The G-10 central banks were for decades the institutions which governed the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland, which hosts the secretariats of a number of the international standard setters including the FSB, BCBS, and IAIS. The G-10 consisted of Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the USA, and the UK; Switzerland was later added as its 11th member. The G-10 groupings have more recently evolved largely to reflect broader G-20 participation.

    The majority of the 50 states themselves maintain regulators divided by the various sectors, although a minority have more recently introduced consolidated regulators within a state’s jurisdiction. One prominent example is the Ney York State Department of Financial Services, which was created in 2011 by combining the state’s previously independent banking and insurance supervisors.

    See FT Lexicon: This term is most often used to denote banks and firms that would substantially damage the financial system and the rest of the economy should they “fail,” i.e., go bankrupt.

    The logic is therefore that these organizations would receive a “bailout” of some kind from the government—at the very least, protecting creditors against losses and perhaps also enabling management to stay in place (and, in some cases, the full payment of wages and bonuses).

    Regulation (EC) No 764/2008: “The principle of mutual recognition, which derives from the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, is one of the means of ensuring the free movement of goods within the internal market. Mutual recognition applies to products which are not subject to Community harmonisation legislation, or to aspects of products falling outside the scope of such legislation. According to that principle, a Member State may not prohibit the sale on its territory of products which are lawfully marketed in another Member State, even where those products were manufactured in accordance with technical rules different from those to which domestic products are subject.”

  69. 69.

    The principle of full harmonization was first laid out by the Court of Justice of the European Communities as well. In its judgment regarding Joined Cases C‑261/07 and C‑299/07 on Directive 2005/29/EC (Unfair Commercial Practice) it is concluded that: “The Directive is based on the principle of full harmonisation. This means that Member States can no longer implement or apply either less or more restrictive or prescriptive consumer protection measures in the area it harmonises. As the Preamble to the Directive explains, in order to remove internal market barriers caused by regulatory disparities and to increase legal certainty for both consumers and businesses, it was necessary to replace existing national systems with a uniform regulatory framework at Community level.” (https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/ucp/public/index.cfm?event=public.guidance.showArticle&elemID=52).
