...THE EFFECTS OF BANKING SECTOR AND STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT ON THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION BY HAFSAH AHMAD A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ECONOMICS KULLIYYAH OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA MAY 2005 1 ABSTRACT This study investigates the long-run relationship between financial development (banking sector and stock market development) and economic growth in Malaysia. Six variables based on Malaysian quarterly data from 1978:1 to 2002:4 are employed, namely real GDP per capita, investment rate and ratios of credit, deposit, market capitalization, and value of shares traded to GDP. Two dynamic frameworks are adopted - Vector Auto regression (VAR) with error correction formulation for causality analyses and dynamic OLS (DOLS) procedure for estimation of growthfinance long-run relation. Causality analyses show that there is bi-directional causality between financial development (banking sector and stock market development) and economic growth. Analyses on growth-finance long-run relations indicate that banking sector development and stock market development individually have an independent positive effect on long-run economic growth. They enhance economic growth through both channels – the volume and efficiency of investment, with the latter being the main source of their independent effect. The study also shows that...

...896N1 - Multinational Financial Management The impact of the global financial crisis on the Multinational bank funding and its liquidity CandNo: 109098 Tutor: Dr Bruce Hearn, Dr Javad Izadi Zadeh Darjezi and Miss Madina Tash Date of Submission: 7th March 2013 Abstract This paper analyses the impact of the global financial crisis on the Multinational bank funding and its liquidity. In analysis of several articles, under the global financial crisis, multinational banks change their funding model to the stable wholesale funding and reduce the lending when the parent banks are financially weak. For its liquidity, multinational bank subsidiaries can rely on support from the bank group they belong to and therefore tend to hold a slightly lower liquidity. Content Abstract 1 Introduction 3 Literature Review 3 Analysis 5 Conclusion 6 Reference 6 Appendix 7 Introduction As the financial crisis existed through the fabric of the world’s financial system in the third quarter of 2007, it became clear that firm access to finance was going to be an early victim, including Multinational banks. During the local crisis, strong parent banks used their internal capital market to provide subsidiaries with capital and liquidity (Haas and Lelyveld, 2010). Domestic banks rely to a great extent on local funding, whereas an affiliate of a multinational bank can exploit both local funding possibilities and the funding capacity of its parent bank, all of which are embedded in...

...some combination of irrational exuberance, jumps forward in technology and financial deregulation, for which the connection between monetary conditions and the rise of bubbles is tenuous. However, the central bank is at the centre point in this debate. The recent crash in the stock market in Bangladesh is also associated with some policies of the central bank. The aim of this article is to analyse the following two aspects: (i) whether the monetary policy response was appropriate to the rise and the recent collapse of the bubble, and (ii) whether the behaviour of financial institutions was optimal to the policy response. Commercial banks have been involved heavily in the stock market business in the last few years. Allowing merchant banking has exaggerated the situation. They became the key player in the stock market. Undoubtedly, any policies to control banks' exposure to the stock market could have significant impact on the capital market. Monetary easing during last two or more years (money supply was more than 22 percent during the period) could have helped stock market remain buoyant during these days. Perhaps, Bangladesh Bank (BB) was not much aware about banks' exposure to the stock market. Because, surprisingly, banks profit from share business seemed to be negligible according to their income statement or balance sheet although there is a wide perception that banks are making handsome profits from...

...suggested to the company, enhancing Westpac’s business operations and development. 1.General environment As one of the big four banks in Australia, Westpac Bank is unavoidably affected by macro environment, faced with several opportunities and threats. Specifically, in terms of political and legal factors, although lots of financial policies and regulations are made to support better Australian banking industry reforms, excessive regulatory interventions may confine Westpac development and higher financial uncertainties also influence the company’s future plans (Australia Trade Commission, 2011). From the economic perspective, although affected by the European debt crisis which may lead investors to lose confidence of finance and capital market, Westpac suffers negative impacts slightly (Taylor, 2013). Moreover, along with stable development of Australian economy,...

...Bank PLC (Barclays) has a broadly diversified business profile, with a strong franchise across retail, commercial, and investment banking. It has progressively expanded outside its domestic market through acquisitions and organic growth. For example, non-U.K. customer lending represented 54% of the group total at June 30, 2009. Excluding nonrecurring gains and a loss on own debt, Barclays reported a £4.4 billion pretax profit for the first nine months of 2009, which was a 116% increase on the same period in 2008. The performance of the retail and commercial banking activities was depressed by elevated impairment charges, but this decline was more than offset by increased earnings from Barclays Capital, which benefited from favorable market conditions and the September 2008 acquisition of Lehman’s North American businesses. Barclays Capital contributed 62% of the group’s underlying earnings in the first nine months of 2009, which is a materially higher proportion than Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services would expect in a normal environment. Nevertheless, we consider that the Lehman acquisition and additional hiring by Barclays Capital have raised the sensitivity of the group’s risk profile and earnings to conditions in securities markets. In our opinion, Barclays retains material credit market exposures, particularly in commercial real estate and leveraged finance. The aggregate disclosed exposure stood at £28.3 billion at Sept. 30, 2009, down from...

Ltd. Major Rating Factors Strengths: • 100% ownership by the Irish government, which has provided substantial capital support. Counterparty Credit Rating CCC/Negative/C Weaknesses: • Apparent reluctance of the Irish government to provide further capital support. • Potential for burden-sharing by subordinated bondholders to be extended to senior unguaranteed bondholders. • Very high reliance on emergency liquidity assistance from the Irish central bank. Rationale The ratings on Anglo Irish Bank Corp. Ltd. (Anglo) reflect Anglo's 100% ownership by the government of the Republic of Ireland (BBB+/Stable/A-2) and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' view of Anglo as a government-related entity (GRE). According to our criteria for rating GREs, we believe there is a "low" likelihood of further extraordinary support for Anglo. This is because we perceive a "limited" link between the bank and the government in terms of future support and we consider Anglo to be of "limited importance" to the government. As a result, the GRE status provides no uplift to our assessment...

...CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM: OBJECTIVE- Here our main objective is to analyse the impact of mergers and acquisition in banking sector in India. We will try to find out from the experience of US and EU how Indian banking sector will respond if some major players merge together. In this report we will create a situation in which five big players in banking sector merge together and we will analyse the effect of merger on Indian Banking sector. In the past three decades, India's banking system has earned several outstanding achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer confined to metropolises or cities in India. In fact, Indian banking system has reached even to the remote corners of the country.1 This is one of the main aspects of India's banking growth story. The first banks were Bank of Hindustan (1770- 1829) and The General Bank of India, established 1786 and since defunct. The largest bank, and the oldest still in existence, is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India in 1955. The Government...

...the creation of money. Details The U.S. is the world’s largest economy, and such its monetary policy has widespread implications both domestic and global. The objective of the policy is to influence factors like inflation, economic output, and employment by affecting demand for goods and services. This policy is carried out by the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve (the nation's central bank), consists of the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., and 12 Federal Reserve District Banks. Although accountable to congress and structured by law, the fed is totally separate from the departments that manage the country's spending decisions. Within the Federal Reserve System is another sub agency called the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which consists of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Reserve Bank presidents. The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings during the year, and other meetings as needed. Monetary policy is generally referred to as either being an expansionary policy, or a contractionary policy. An expansionary policy increases the total supply of money in the economy, and a contractionary policy decreases the total money supply. Expansionary policy is traditionally used to combat unemployment in a recession by lowering interest rates, while contractionary policy has the goal of raising interest rates to...
