Banking and finance are inherently pro-cyclical, a condition exacerbated by a combination of Basel II and mark-to-market accounting. But these latter measures have many advantages, so the need is to devise other counter-cyclical macro-prudential policies. This fragility was further enhanced by a decline in bank liquidity (reliance on wholesale funding) and a shift in govenance from partnerships to limited liability public companies. Some commentators have seen the solution to such pro-cyclicality in the guise of direct constraints on bank activity, such as the promotion of ‘narrow banking’ or limits on bank size. While there are arguments for toughening regulation as systemic risk increases, direct constraints are simplistic; more sensible ideas involve the adoption of better designed macro-prudential regulation, perhaps with some version of banking self-insurance. Quite what the future holds for bank regulation remains, however, to be decided.

AbstractThe Address is a journey in three parts. The first part describes the world scene in the last century when the Institute was founded and traces the development of actuarial work to the present day. The current U.K. pension scene is then broadly reviewed and the journey ends with vistas of the future. The concentration of actuarial work towards life assurance and pensions is attributed to meeting the needs of the past and encouragement is given to the urgent extension of the work of the profession into wider fields.The U.K. pension scene is described as being complex, confused and filled with uncertainty. The profession is urged to assist government actively and positively, to examine the expected future growth of pension funds, and to compare the financing of retirement benefits in the U.K. with other methods adopted in Europe.Work in wider fields is envisaged as embracing general insurance, the health and care of the aged, banking and finance, and the appraisal of capital projects.

This article summarizes the multitude of empirical studies in the area of Islamic banking and finance with purpose to analyze impact of Islamic banking and finance studies to practice by mapping research direction and the depth of the study. The studies are categorized based on research paradigm, countries being researched, methods employed, and results that lead to policy direction in the particular period. The research found that the research direction of the papers under study mostly employ positivist paradigm with countries being researched are generally Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia and UAE. It documents that the papers did not link directly to the future policy directions ie. to predict and prepare for financial crisis, rather they merely responded to the undergoing policies or themes of the journals. This review provides insights for understanding the importance of guiding future policy direction in the area of Islamic banking and finance by publishing more research policy papers authored by both academics and professionals.
