Cambodia has deficit every year and survives by foreign aid and donations both financially and technically. In response to that, donating countries and international communities introduce good governance to Cambodia, which leads to administrational and institutional reforms. In this project, I am going to talk roughly about public administration reform, and more deeply about bank restructuring programs which play crucial rules in development of the economy of this poor country. After transforming from planning economy to free market economy, public administrational and institutional reform is one of the transforming processes. The government has tried its best to reduce excessive public employees by eliminating ghost employees, creating job descriptions and decentralizing local authorities. In bank restructuring programs, the government transformed one-tier banking system...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Banking reached colonial Africa through the activities of colonial merchants, and the first bank in West Africa was established in 1894, that is the British Bank for West Africa (BBWA), which extended its operations to Ghana soon after in 1896. In Ghana, the Bank of Ghana is responsible for the banking sector. The Bank of Ghana was established in 1957 to oversee the health of the nation’s financial sector. Presently the Bank of Ghana is empowered by the banking act of 2004, Act 673 (amended in 2007) and the Bank of Ghana Act 2002, Act 612 to regulate banks in Ghana. The mission of the central bank is “to pursue sound monetary and financial policies aimed at price stability and create an enabling environment for sustainable economic growth.” In maintaining a stable banking industry, the Bank of Ghana ensures that banks playing a part in the pursuit of its goals are well leveraged to withstand any unforeseen circumstances. One way the central bank does this is to ensure that banks have capital adequacy to a certain level through the regulation of the minimum capital requirement. The issue of the minimum capital requirement, its increases and implications has always been an issue of hot debates amongst economists, and even politicians. The minimum capital requirement is the minimum level of security below which the amount of financial resources should not fall (European Parliament legislative resolution of 22 April...

...in providing the full range of financial services is thus a task that will be well rewarded with economic growth. This report takes a first look at the overall financial system of Iraq with a forward looking approach. At the outset it was agreed with Iraqi authorities that the focus of this review should be forward looking and constructive. Overall the financial sector in Iraq is underdeveloped, and is playing a limited role in financial intermediation. The banking system is still by far the most important part of the Iraqi financial system, accounting for more than 75 percent of the assets and dominated by state ownership. Non-bank financial institutions and markets are small and under-developed but have the potential to provide access to sources of finance. Access to finance is impeded by weak financial infrastructure, which needs to be strengthened over time in all areas, including credit registry, the collateral framework, judicial systems, and accounting and auditing skills. When looking at Iraq’s financial system it is important to keep the general political economy in xv REPUBLIC OF IRAQ FINANCIAL SECTOR REVIEW mind. The difficult security situation imposes costs and constraints, the complex political situation impedes decisive policy action, governance issues linger, and the legacy of...

...The Financial Crises in Russia and East Asia: How the World Bank can Help. 1 - Overview of Asian financial crisis On July 2, 1997, the Government of Thailand abandoned its efforts to maintain a fixed- exchange rate – the Baht had been pegged to a basket of currencies dominated by the U.S. dollar – and allowed the Baht to float. This Baht quickly depreciated, falling 18% on the first day alone. The collapse of the Thai Baht was followed by speculative attacks on other countries’ currencies (including the Indonesian Rupiah, the Malaysia Ringitt, the Philippine Peso, and the Korean Won) and to a further round of forced devaluations. The collapse of fixed exchange rates was accompanied by a series of more general financial sector crises in several of these countries. Although the precise details vary, the immediate cause appears to be a mismatch between assets and liabilities in the corporate and banking sectors (in both currency and term length) and a sharp decline in asset values. These immediate problems were exacerbated by general financial sector weakness due to inadequate supervision and rampant insider lending. In many ways the crises in Asia were somewhat different than previously observed exchange rate crises. Corsetti, Pesenti and Roubini (1998) note that several of the usual indicators of a pending financial crisis – slow growth, large fiscal deficits, high rates of inflation and low savings and investment rates – were not observed in these...

...A FRAMEWORK FOR PRUDENTIAL REGULATION AND SUPERVISION OF THE FINANCIAL SECTOR BY DR. OWEN JEFFERSON Recent developments in the financial sector has catapulted the issue of the safety and soundness of the financial system into the forefront of discussions in Jamaica. While not necessarily providing any consolation for us, it is important to note that this issue has also been plaguing many other countries and has become a matter of international concern. The number of countries experiencing significant banking problems has increased substantially in recent years - hitting industrial and developing countries alike - and the high costs and macroeconomic disruptions caused by banking crises have become a matter of increasing concern to the international financial community. Not since the Great Depression of the 1930's have so many banks failed as in the 1980's and the 1990's. A recent survey by the International Monetary Fund reported banking problems in 131 of its 181 member countries over this period, ranging from outright systemic crises to isolated causes of failing banks. We all remember the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in 1990. There was the much publicised savings and loan debacle in the United States which cost some $150 billion. In Latin America, banks in four countries - Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina - have recently had to struggle with crises of varying degrees of severity....

With the banking conditions now of Sonali Bank Limited & Bangladesh Bank (Central Bank) with all those issues that have been thrown into them due to the deregulation in the banking sector in the country. According to Alam (2012), if there is a proper implementation of banking regulations and supervision structures, definitely, banking efficiency and profitability would follow. The efficient and effective banking regulations serve as a unified power to control the creation, operation and liquidation of the banking sector as well as a proper control in the stability of the economy of the country. Hence, BB as the Central Bank of the country should put into appropriate places all the specialized banking supervisory regulations and policies that can protect the depositors from higher risks of losing their deposited money in the banks. The core objective of the banking sector is to provide total protection to the investors with their money and funds. Both businesses and individuals have the rights to be ensured with certainty and safety about their funds in the banks.
