Abstract

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved on February 8, 2023 the applications of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), the Development Bank of Latin America (known as Corporacion Andina de Fomento or CAF), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) to become prescribed holders of Special Drawings Rights (SDRs). The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF to supplement the reserves of IMF members that participate in the SDR Department. The IMF's Articles of Agreement authorize the IMF to prescribe (i.e., approve) as holders of SDRs (i) non-members, (ii) members that are not participants in the SDR Department; (iii) institutions that perform functions of a central bank for one or more IMF member countries, and (iv) other official entities (which all five entities approved on February 8 are). Prescribed holders may acquire, hold and use SDRs in transactions by agreement and in operations. Approval of these five institutions brings the number of prescribed holders to twenty.

Abstract

This book is the culmination of the authors’ industry-academic collaboration in the past several years. The investigation is largely motivated by bank balance sheet management problems. The main difference between a bank balance sheet management problem and a typical portfolio optimization problem is that the former involves multiple risks. The related theoretical investigation leads to a significant extension of the scope of portfolio theories. The book combines practitioners’ perspectives and mathematical rigor. For example, to guide the bank managers to trade off different Pareto efficient points, the topological structure of the Pareto efficient set is carefully analyzed. Moreover, on top of computing solutions, the authors focus the investigation on the qualitative properties of those solutions and their financial meanings. These relations, such as the role of duality, are most useful in helping bank managers to communicate their decisions to the different stakeholders. Finally, bank balance sheet management problems of varying levels of complexity are discussed to illustrate how to apply the central mathematical results. Although the primary motivation and application examples in this book are focused in the area of bank balance sheet management problems, the range of applications of the general portfolio theory is much wider. As a matter of fact, most financial problems involve multiple types of risks. Thus, the book is a good reference for financial practitioners in general and students who are interested in financial applications. This book can also serve as a nice example of a case study for applied mathematicians who are interested in engaging in industry-academic collaboration.

Abstract

One of the core functions of any successful business is the ability to manage and adapt to risk. In a global environment characterised by complexity, it is vital to be able to understand where risk lies and how it impacts upon business. This textbook presents a series of meta-level trends, including as geo-political risks, climate change, and technology, and explores how they are forming and reshaping the risk environment of business. Using a mix of micro and macro level analysis, students will be able to understand how seemingly random, global events, pose challenges for firms. Representing a bold sea-change in the study of international business, this book emphasises the practical elements that students will need to understand in order to succeed in the real world. Readers will not only learn how to understand and read risks in international markets, but they will also benefit from a tooklit to help them assess these processes. Ultimately, this textbook will furnish students with a full appreciation of the importance of risk in international systems. Colin Turner is Associate Professor in International Management at Heriot Watt University, Scotland. He has authored/co-authored five books on infrastructure alongside numerous journal publications upon this subject matter. He is also co-author of two market leading textbooks on International and European Business: both of which are currently on their third editions. He has taught IB for nearly 30 years and has been at the forefront of many innovations in IB curriculum design and content.

Abstract

"European economies have been plagued by successive crises, from the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) to the COVID-19 pandemic, through to the economic and geopolitical instability in Ukraine. These events, the uncertainty they generate combined with dynamic technological progress and significant socio-cultural changes, have profoundly modified the character of modern finance. Understanding what happened, what mechanisms worked, and the reaction of the banking sector, bank customers, and policymakers require an in-depth and structured analysis. This book critically assesses the impact of these events, notably the Covid-19 pandemic, on the performance of the banking sector in Europe and serves as a compendium of knowledge on recent changes in European banking from two perspectives. Firstly, European banking transformation, analyzing the process of what has already taken place: in particular, the GFC and Covid-19 crises; secondly, from the perspective of the challenges facing the operations and strategic management of European banks. It identifies specific areas of impact on the activity of commercial banks and the determining factors that will shape the economic and financial condition of banks and their customers - borrowers - in the future. Risk management, particularly credit risk, is a key focus of this volume. Each chapter, implicitly or explicitly, address a variety of questions that can help the reader to understand the complex nature of the transformation of the banking sector. The book provides a structured reference for those concerned with the impact of volatility on the business models of modern banks. As such, it will find a broad audience among students, academics, banking, financial, business, and industry professionals, policymakers, and market regulators"--

Abstract

The use of cloud applications is becoming increasingly popular due to their scalability and cost advantages. However, companies need help in adopting cloud applications due to their internal policies and compliance requirements. Trust and security are crucial factors that influence the adoption of cloud applications. This book proposes a cloud architecture that addresses this challenge by shifting the trust for compliance-driven configurations of cloud applications from the cloud application provider to the blockchain. The architecture was developed using design science research and evaluated using mixed-method semi-structured guided interviews. The results show that the proposed architecture can significantly reduce adoption risk due to compliance-driven cloud application configurations, shifting trust from the cloud provider to the blockchain. This book presents an innovative approach to address the challenge of adopting cloud applications, and enhancing trust and security for businesses. About the author Thorsten Weber, PhD, is a Senior InfoSec Compliance Specialist at SAP SE and a Research Fellow at the Institute for IT Management & Digitalization at FOM university, specializing in cybersecurity, cryptography, and AI. With experience working for NATO in Brussels and leading cybersecurity teams, his research now focuses on AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and blockchain-based smart contracts.

Abstract

Alors que la crise financière de 2008 et de multiples scandales financiers ont ébranlé les systèmes bancaires et encore dégradé la confiance dans les banques, on connait mal les modes de contrôle externe et interne, qui sont pourtant un instrument essentiel de la régulation bancaire. Cet ouvrage - le premier en langue française sur ce sujet - entend replacer la supervision prudentielle dans la perspective d'une histoire longue et comparative. Après un bilan historiographique, il présente des travaux récents sur les acteurs et les institutions, les pratiques et les outils du contrôle bancaire depuis le XIXe siècle, en France, en Suisse et dans l'espace colonial français. Il analyse ensuite l'internationalisation de la supervision et des normes comptables du contrôle des risques, fin XXe- début XXIe siècle. Enfin, les contributions d'archivistes de banques et des autorités de régulation constituent un appel à de nouvelles recherches pour combler le retard historiographique français. --
