...XYZ National Bank A statistical data analysis was conducted regarding the checking accounts of the clients of XYZ National Bank. It encompasses tables and graphs representing the checking account balances in peso and the distribution of it among the four branches. It also includes characteristics of the accounts in terms of number of ATM transactions in the month, number of other bank services used, clients who have debit card and those who don’t have, clients who receive interest on the account and those who don’t. It was determined that the balance of a typical customer based on the data of the account balances in peso per client given is 149,986.67.

...The revaluation of Chinese Yuan The Chinese national economy is probably the most powerful nowadays. At least, it is the main antagonist to the American economy. A lot of experts tend to call it as the main driver of renewal of the world’s economy after the global financial crisis. A reasonable question is what the preconditions of such powerful status are. In our opinion, these preconditions are the following. First of all, it is cheap labor force. Moreover, the country has a lot of labor force, more than any other country in the world. Because of the cheap labor force the country’s products are quite cheap on the international market. That is why it is not surprising that export plays a great role in the country’s economy. Cheap labor force is not the only reason for the competitiveness of the Chinese products. Cheap Yuan is another reason, but about it we are going to talk below. Some additional information about the national economy of China can be got from the following quote. “China's economy is huge and expanding rapidly. In the last 30 years, the rate of Chinese economic growth has been almost miraculous, averaging 8 percent growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per annum. The economy has grown more than 10 times during that period, with Chinese GDP reaching 3.42 trillion US dollars in 2007. China already has the biggest economy after the United States and most analysts predict China will become the largest economy in the world this century” (The Chinese Economy). ...

Executive Summary: National Australia Bank (NAB) is the largest business bank in Australia and the fourth largest retail bank (by total assets) with net operating profit of $A6728 million in 2011. However, due to already competitive trading environment, every major banking institution is beset by increasing pressure on their trading performance – and NAB is no exception. NAB has responded to these challenges by increasing its proprietary trading positions within the Corporate & Investment Banking division, which was in contrary to the customer-focused strategy. The traders engaged in large unauthroised transactions with minimal supervision, which turned into fraud and significant trading loss due to volatile market conditions. However, the integrity of the traders was not the sole cause that led to the $360 million loss. Along with NAB’s unreliable internal risk and control framework and an inappropriate level of governance, the traders exploited the loopholes within NAB’s operations and created fictitious...

The increasing public interest and concern over corruption have resulted in a large amount of scholarly research on the subject. The concept of economic rent is important in corruption.

...MATERIALS AND METHODS This study contains both qualitative and quantitative research. This paper contain information taken from websites and articles written previously. Secondary data has been used throughout the study of the project. 3 Abstract This preliminary study undertakes to investigate on electronic banking system and current scenario of e-banking in United Arab Emirates (UAE). Nowadays all the companies are trying to advance their technology and increase their output. Similarly Banks are also moving rapidly to an era of technological change. Online versions of nearly all existing payment methods are appearing rapidly bringing about profound changes in the whole system of financial services and intermediation. While many banks especially in Europe and the U.S. have adopted internet banking, this research shows that the majority of banks in U.A.E. are still in the early stages of developing e-banking. Only very few have well-developed e-banking facilities, despite all banks having an internet banking website for the convenience of their customers. This project will focus on discussing what is e-banking? What are the advantage and risk in adopting this banking system? What are the rules or guidelines to implement the system? What services does e-banking provide in the UAE and how e banking has increased the profit and efficiency of banks? 4 TOPICS PAGES 1.

...Jordanian Commercial Banks Ahmed Arif Almazari Department of Administrative Sciences- Finance Section, King Saud University E-mail: aalmazari@ksu.edu.sa; ahmadarif26@hotmail.com Abstract This study attempted basically to measure the financial performance of some selected Jordanian commercial banks for the period 2005-2009. It is evaluatory in nature, drawing sources of information from secondary data. The financial performance of banks is studied on the basis of financial variables and ratios. In this paper an attempt was made to analyze the financial performance of seven selected Jordanian commercial banks using simple regression in order to estimate the impact of independent variable represented by; the bank size, asset management, and operational efficiency on dependent variablefinancial performance represented by; return on assets and interest income size. It was found that banks with higher total deposits, credits, assets, and shareholders’ equity does not always mean that has better profitability performance. It was also found that there exists a positive correlation between financial performance and asset size, asset utilization and operational efficiency, which was also confirmed with regression analysis that financial performance is greatly influenced by these independent factors. This study can be a source of help to bank managers to improve their financial performance and formulate policies that will promote effective financial system. The study also recommend measures...

Housing is a major purchase requiring long-term financing, and the factors that are associated with well functioning housing finance systems are those that enable the provision of long-term finance. Across all countries, controlling for country size, we find that countries with stronger legal rights for borrowers and lenders (through collateral and bankruptcy laws), deeper credit information systems, and a more stable macroeconomic environment have deeper housing finance systems. These same factors also help explain the variation in housing finance across emerging market economies. Across developed countries, which tend to have low macroeconomic volatility and relatively extensive credit information systems, variation in the strength of legal rights helps explain the extent of housing finance...

Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil Foundation’s Institute of Business Management and Rural Development, Ahmednagar 1. Introduction India is transforming demographically, in which the population of a nation slows down and life expectancy increases, participation of women in labor force and rate of saving increases. India has its own issues like illiteracy, income disparity, gap between haves and have-nots; etc. This study explores demographic dividend in case of India by studying issues and challenges, the policies to be implemented and lessons to be learned from countries like Japan, Ireland and Thailand. By 2025, India will have over 65% population under working class. This is a unique window of opportunity for deploying resources. This study explores the benefits to be realized and the policies to be implemented; now India is well poised for becoming a super economic power. As all developed nations will have older population by 2026, as their population is aging. It means if India can take the advantage of this situation, by proper deployment of resources, by converting the human potential in to engine of economic growth. This period of demographic dividend is an opportunity for overall growth; it’s not the guarantee for improving the standard of living. This window of opportunity demands from youth, the right skills...

...different provinces. The implicit attitude—that it is the federation as a whole rather than the federating units that matter—is so firmly embedded in the official mindset that, even after 65 years of Pakistan’s existence, the authorities do not produce official statistics of province-level gross domestic product (GDP), investment, savings, exports, imports, labor productivity, and other key economic indicators. 2. The Importance of a Province-Level Approach Why is a province-level approach important? The issue is not merely of academic interest. It is necessary to strengthen studies at the province level, because policies to address questions of employment, poverty, and perceived deprivation, and to improve the delivery of key services are more effective if the perspective is as close to the ground as possible. The validity of this approach is recognized by the burgeoning number of regional or state studies in India and in other parts of the world—such as China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, and Nigeria among developing countries, and of course the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, and several others in the developed world—where individual provinces or states can exercise a significant degree of autonomy over many economic decisions. Stimulating the convergence of economic growth between the different provinces of Pakistan is vital, because the cohesion...
