<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>The economics literature related to the financial system seeks to define the concepts of financial stability, systemic risk and macroprudential instruments for the purpose of drafting a policy that essentially "leans against the wind", that is, a policy that monitors macroeconomic vulnerabilities and combats system instability. Such a policy should cover all financial institutions involved in credit intermediation (not just banks) and consider the pro-cyclical and intrinsic nature of risk in the financial system, and account for the spillovers effects of policies in other countries, that is, the global context. This article summarizes the main concepts related to macroprudential policy discussed in the economics literature after the crisis the 2008 financial crisis. In addition, we describe macroprudential policy in the context of the Brazilian financial system, specifically major policies implemented in the banking regulatory environment related to Basel III and non-bank regulations related to shadow banks. After the 2008 crisis, Brazil was one of the precursors countries in operating macroprudential instruments to curb excessive credit growth and strong capital inflows. The Brazilian financial system has a broad regulatory perimeter, adhering to international standards and covering the Shadow banking system. This system has a weak connection with the banking system and is small relative to the financial assets of the national and global systems. </span></p></div></div></div>

AbstractThe European Union (EU) has faced not only the international financial crisis, but also the European banking and the sovereign debt crisis. A lack of efficient regulations and supervision were a serious cause of recent developments. As a reaction, the EU finally implemented a framework covering both micro- and macro-prudential policies. Measures such as the new capital requirements, the deposit guarantee schemes, the green paper on shadow banking and, most importantly, the new approach for a macro-prudential supervision are headed towards crisis prevention. However, the challenge is to define regulations enhancing financial stability, which, at the same time, do not prevent institutions from generating reasonable financial risks and do not reduce growth. In that regard, the presented measures still have deficits which have to be faced. Furthermore, coordination between various authorities and the European Commission remains another challenge.

Purpose – This paper aims to survey available data sources and put China’s shadow banking system in perspective. Although bank loans still account for the majority of credit provided to China’s real economy, other channels of credit extension are growing rapidly. The fast expansion of shadow banking has spurred wide concerns regarding credit quality and financial stability. Design/methodology/approach – This paper explores various data sources, provides an overview of shadow banking activities in China, discusses their close ties with banks and summarizes regulatory issues. Extensive descriptive data are included to provide a comprehensive picture of the nature of shadow banking activities in China. In particular, institutions and products are discussed in great details. Findings – While China’s shadow banking system is by no means simple, it does not (yet) involve the extensive use of financial derivatives. Rather, shadow banking credit is often directly extended to the real economy. In addition, shadow banks are typically interconnected with commercial banks in various ways. The expanding scale and constantly evolving structure of the shadow banking system has posed challenges for financial regulators. Originality/value – This paper attempts to quantify the scale and scope of China’s shadow banking activities and provides a consistent framework as the basis for cross-country comparison of shadow banking systems. This is one of the first scholarly research products that discusses the origin, nature and risks of China’s shadow banking system in a regulatory context.

Financial intermediaries increase the efficiency of capital allocation by accumulating it between the parties to match the needs of all stakeholders. Due to market imperfections and information asymmetries, financial intermediaries have moved from traditional banking to intermediaries that are more complex: investment banks, pension funds, venture capital funds, mutual funds and hedge funds. The interrelation between intermediaries and economic indicators is a topic of discussion for many scholars around the world. The final opinion on this does not yet exist, because the hypotheses that are put forward are polar in nature. This study is based on the assumption that financial intermediaries have a positive impact on economic development. This study is aimed at bibliometric analysis by means of VOSviewer v.1.6.16 to identify key contextual areas of the research topic. The paper identifies numerous trends in the study of financial intermediation. The main national and foreign approaches to the studied concept are systematized. Key subject groups of the studied phenomenon are revealed. The most cited authors who worked in this direction are analyzed. Articles on key aspects of the study were clustered. The connection between the concepts of "financial intermediation" and "non-financial reporting" is revealed. Google Books Ngram Viewer and Google Trends analyzed the frequency of mentions of research concepts and the frequency of user queries. As a result, on the basis of 405 documents indexed by the Scopus database during 2012 - 2018, 6 clusters were identified, focusing on: the place of financial intermediaries in the financial system; role in ensuring financial stability; the prerequisites for the formation of this phenomenon; roles in the financial market; interactions between financial intermediaries and systemic risks; connection with shadow banking. The growing number of mentions of the research topic among Ukrainian and foreign scientists indicates an increased interest in the nature and role of this phenomenon.

PurposeThe Financial Stability Board (FSB) determined that entities classified as shadow banking are of a credit nature because they are capable of affecting the financial system through the entry and exit of capital. This study aims at measuring the impact of shadow banking in the systemic risk in Chile. A sample of 91 institutions (Run) belonging to the mutual funds was used, with a series showing a continuous behaviour between 2004 and 2018.Design/methodology/approachThe measurement is carried out using the conditional value at risk (CoVaR) methodology, which analyses the behaviour of an institution in a regular state against the same institution in a state of stress.FindingsThe results obtained reflect that liquidity mismatches do not have a relevant effect on the systemic risk, while the 2008 crisis does contribute to its decline.Originality/valueThere are less number of literature studies that apply statistical models regarding shadow banking, at least at a quantitative level, so this research is a beginning for other studies, supporting future authors in their new research as a basis.
