Global banking

In Global Banking, Roy C. Smith and Ingo Walter assess the transformation that is taking place world-wide in the financial industry - its causes, its course, and its consequences. Beginning with an overview of recent developments, the authors consider the major dimensions of international banking, including the issue of cross-border risk evaluation and exposure management and the creation of a viable regulatory framework in a global competitive context. The authors link the field of international commercial banking with international investment banking. They identify the factors that distinguish winners from losers in each activity of global financial services. Global Banking concludes with a section on the problems of strategic position and execution. This book will be essential reading for anyone involved in the worldwide financial industry, as well as students of international banking and financial markets.
