Part 1 - Introduction This is an assessment, regarding the importance of financial liberalisation programmes on the financial development of the emerging markets worldwide. In the following parts of the assignment, we will try to define financial liberalisation as a term. Furthermore, we will try to discuss and investigate the correlation of the financial liberalisation programmes with the financial development of the emerging markets in a worldwide scale. We can say that, we will focus on the ways that the different financial liberalisation programmes can lead to a financial sector growth in underdeveloped financial markets. In our effort we will use published relevant research journal papers that can give us proper scientific guidance on …show more content…
We can adopt the following as a definition of financial liberalisation in general terms. `Financial liberalisation is defined as the removal of government intervention from financial markets`. (Masci, 2008, p. 46) After adopting the above definition of financial liberalisation we can say that, when the uplifting of government intervention policies takes place, then there is going to be a change inside the market. Masci (2008, p. 46-47) supports the view that scientific research and our empirical evidence support that, the financial liberalisation programmes can have a two-way impact on a financial industry. Both of these ways can provide benefits for the economy but can also be costly for it as well. On one hand, financial liberalisation processes can enhance the pace of the economic growth of the market but on the other hand there is evidence that liberalisation programmes can decrease the stability level of the financial sector and thus making it more susceptible to a financial crisis event. We will try to investigate and understand the effects of financial liberalisation and more specifically we will try to understand the way its policies affect the development and the growth of the financial …show more content…
45) in their recent study, point out that in an emerging financial market, liberalization processes can have a significant negative impact on the stability of the domestic financial intermediation institutes. This is not an outcome of changes in the overall competition levels between the financial intermediaries but a result of an increase in the plurality of risk taking opportunities for the financial intermediaries. This negative impact that comes as a result of the financial liberalization programmes can be changed into a positive impact if more prudent capital regulations are
Beginning with bank reform, the New Dealers were able to maintain oversight in the banking industry, which had previously been an unregulated and unpredictable source of capital. The Glass-Steagal Act and the Emergency Banking Act signaled a shift from a lassiez faire approach to the banking industry to one that ensured banks were making responsible loans and not gambling with depositor’s savings in the stock market. By not allowing banks who were considered “irresponsible’ to reopen and separating the savings and investment functions of the banks, a more secure system began to emerge. The impact of this legislation was immediate, as bank failures dropped dramatically. Additionally, major breakdowns in the banking industry were avoided until fairly recently, which came as a result of the repeal of Glass-Steagal.
There were 10,000 banks that went out of business. Around one-half of all banks either closed or merged with other banks. The role of the Federal Reserve and government increased. Tighter regulations were put on financial markets and banks. The Federal Reserved shifted to a policy of maintaining high employment and fast growth.
From 1790 to the late 1800’s, the Industrial Revolution recreated industry as Europe knew it with ground-breaking inventions and mass-producing factories. The Industrial Revolution widened the social gap with the bourgeoisie on a pedestal and the proletariat baring the weight of being the work class that would make the Industrial Revolution happen; this strife would lead to many riots and revolutions across Europe as many men like Karl Marx would develop solutions to the proletarian’s problems such as communism. The question arose of how the proletariat were to rebel against the bourgeoisie. The fact was that a revolution was inevitable.
FDR and his administration declared that “...there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments...” (Text 1, lines 21-23). The quote above shows that strict supervision of all bank transactions will be taking place. By taking these precautions, the banks will be able to recover from the damage of the Great Depression. In total, private enterprise and the banks of America have had the help of
The Fed’s goal in trading the securities is to affect the federal funds
The reader so far could gather that globalsim that globalism is a wide spread movement that began it grip on the nation predominately during the mid 20th century, but even to this very day globalism is on the offensive. Most modern day Americans are probably familiar with the Subprime Mortage crisis of ‘08 and for those who are not: in 2008 the U.S. economy’s real estate market suffered from a collapse due to Chase Bank unwarily handing out risky loans that would, realistical, be left unpaid due to people inability to require funds. Being the Federal Reserve’s job to maintain the economy the private bank is ultimately the cause of this economic crises. Before going into an explanation of the crisis one must understand that, through the words of Richard H. Timberlake (2008) “...a particular market instability can be contained only if Federal Reserve policy maintains monetary equilibrium, the principle it abandoned in 1929[The Gold Standard].” Timberlake also mentions in this text that market can, and sometimes, will return to the equilibrium.
In the advanced countries capital accumulation takes place within industry of development, in the moderately backward countries the banks first undertake the leading role in industrialization, and at the next stage industry advances to a position independent of the banks. In other words, the backward countries it is the state which first undertakes the leading role in industrialization, at the second stage the banks take over this function, and at the third stage industry attains independence of the
Along the same line of thinking for protecting the freedoms of the people, the government creates and enforces the law of the market but should not directly participate in the game (Friedman, 1975). Intervention as a discrepancy from Friedman’s theory is understood as the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates low prior to the crisis. This will be discussed later in the

To conduct the nation’s monetary policy is to “promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates in the U.S. economy;” (Board). The Federal Reserve promotes the stability of the financial system. Promoting the stability of the financial system is to seek to “minimize and contain systemic risks through active monitoring and engagement in the U.S. and abroad;” (Board). The Federal Reserve promotes the safety and soundness of individual financial institutions, “and monitors their impact on the financial system as a whole;” (Board). The Federal Reserve “fosters payment and settlement system safety and efficiency through services to the banking industry and the U.S. government that facilitate U.S.-dollar transactions and payments;” and “promotes consumer protection and community development through consumer-focused supervision and examination, research and analysis of

This act enables creditors to gain power and it gives large-scale entrepreneurs an advantage in competing for investment capital. One major weakness of the system is that it restricts beginning entrepreneurs entry into markets because the banks need reserves, which prevents long-term
