The sector having the most important role among developedness indicators is financial sector. The most important and vulnerable part of this sector is banking system. Financial liberalization and relaxation in political approach, based on strict norms, following it, and increasing competition at sectorial level required the presence of supervision mechanisms. The rigid rules of supervision system under consideration led profit margin to fall gradually. Hence, alternative searches became a current issue in terms of the other actors of banks and banking system. These alternative ways, developed and termed off-balance sheet activities despite the fall at profitability level, are shown as one of the main reasons for 2008 Global Crisis by some economists and draw attention to the concept of shadow banking. In USA, together with the synthesis of liberalization and financial engineering, “Shadow Banking” system formed as the main reason for 2008 Crisis and played role in its development. In this study, the effects of shadow banking on world banking are dealt with the theoretical meaning, and a set of economic policy are suggested in the light of the data obtained.

Many studies have examined the relationship between economic growth and finance. A continuing question is the choice of a clear proxy for financial development. This paper attempts to elucidate this issue from a developing country perspective, while controlling for financial repression. The proxy of choice is the ratio of currency outside the banking system to real output (CB). This proxy is unique in that it is related to the degree of financial repression, and thus relates differently to economic growth depending on the level of financial development. The statistics support the hypothesis of a U-shaped behavior of CB with financial liberalization. The empirical results show that CB relates negatively to growth in countries that are less financially liberalized and positively with growth in countries that are more financially liberalized. The literature has used real interest rates as a measure of financial repression. An innovative measure of financial repression is then proposed that combines the use of currency inside banks and currency outside banks, and is tested concurrently with a broad money depth measure. The study is carried out using a panel approach, and the sample is also divided into different geographical regions, in order to see whether the relationship differs between geographical regions. The study concludes that there is overwhelming evidence that financial repression, which is indicative of financial under-development, is negatively related to growth.

<p>Thai banking’s readiness before approaching a new phase of regional economic integration under AEC’s Financial Liberalization in 2020 is evaluated through the applications of Financial Development Index (FDI), developed by World Economic Forum (WEF). The paper assesses bank’s readiness for regional competition by using readiness index constructed in this study. Data limitation allows this article to cover only six countries in ASEAN, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The analysis includes four pillars and one sub-pillar out of 7 pillars representing the whole financial system. Results show that Singapore’s banking system is the readiest country for regional competition, followed by Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines. The banking sector in Thailand is not quite ready for AEC financial liberalization. The pillars that weaken Thai banking system are the “Institutional environment” and the “Business environment”. The country needs to improve these two pillars to foster its competency for AEC challenges.</p>

IMF policies have been widely criticized in the aftermath of the Asian crisis. Key critics questioned the appropriateness and the sequencing of financial liberalization programs which, along with insufficient monitoring and inadequate prudential regulations, left the financial sectors of the affected countries highly leveraged and exposed. This paper examines the impacts of similar reforms on the efficiency of the banking system in Tunisia, a country whose economy has been reshaped by the IMF/World Bank prescribed economic adjustment plans since 1987. Using various DEA models and panel data covering the period 1992–1997, we evaluate the individual effects of each component of the reforms on the banking industry overall. Meanwhile, we compare the effects on banks because of the different ownership structures over time. We also pay particular attention to specific factors that have kept the financial sector in Tunisia relatively stable in the midst of the global market turmoil caused by the Asian crisis.

The pre-reform policies, coupled with an acute and prolonged economic crisis which severely damaged the financial system in Ghana, caused policymakers to address the institutional deficiencies of the financial system through the Financial Sector Adjustment Program. This paper investigated the pre- and post-reforms policies to determine whether those policies have helped to eradicate problems that have hindered the effectiveness of the financial system. The liberalization of Ghanas financial system has included the relaxation of interest rate controls, credit ceiling, partial privatization of the governments own banks, restructuring of public sector banks, capital markets developments, and deregulation of the prudential system. The performance of the financial sector has been substantial and healthy since the reforms. Overall, the financial liberalization strategy pursued in Ghana has been supportive of wider economic development.
