Banks And Lenders: A Case Study

The fact that banks control 97% of the world's money supply makes them a vital institution. Banks are the engine of our modern financial system and a source for economic growth. The bank's ability to create credit can have destructive effects; the Great Depression of 1929 and the Great Recession of 2008. In both cases, banks spurred on an asset bubble through overextending credit to aid the purchase of assets. The result was an economic collapse that wiped out wealth and reduced credit creation which stalled productive investments. The lessons of the two great economic collapse support the notion proposed by the author, that bank credit for transactions that do not contribute to the economy should be restricted.

The banking industry has undergone major upheaval in recent years, largely due to the lingering recessionary environment and increased regulatory environment. Many banks have failed in the face of such tough environmental conditions. These conditions

There are various categories of banking; these include retail banking, directly dealing with small businesses and persons. Commercial and Corporate banking which offers services to medium and large businesses (Koch & MacDonald 2010). Private banking, deals with individuals, offering them one on one service. The last category is investment banking. These help clients to raise capital and often invest in financial markets. Most global banking institutions provide all these services combined. With all these institutions in existence within the same localities and offering similar services, there is a need to regulate the industry so as to protect the consumer and provide fair working environment for all banks (Du & Girma, 2011).

One of the primary feature of the Global Financial Crisis, as well as other previous financial crises, was the build up of excessive on and off-balance sheet leverage in the banking system. The force on the banking system to reduce its leverage caused a forced decline on asset prices worsening the feedback between looses, deterioration in bank capital and the reduction of credit availability. The framework introduced a leverage ratio requirement, fixed at 3% (actuaries.asn.au, 2011), which aims to constrain leverage in the banking sector, and introduce additional protection against model risk and measurement error. This will help alleviate the risk of the deleveraging processes, which can damage the financial system (bis.org, 2010). The introduced leverage ratio will be a reliable extra measure to the risk-based requirement.

The majority of America’s banks are small individual institutions that had to rely on their own resources. This resumed as being unbeneficial for people because these banks were not stable, in terms of keeping Americans’ money cycling properly through banking systems. When there was a panic, depositors rushed to take their money out of the banks. The banks sank if they did not have enough money on reserve. This eventually left banks in the dust.

The recent financial crisis has a huge impact on systemic Important Financial Institutions; it’s distressing effect can be felt in almost every business area and process of a bank. A fairly large literature investigates the impact of financial crisis on large, complex and interconnected banks. The great recession did affect banks in different ways, depending on the funding capability of each bank. Kapan and Minoiu (2013) find that banks that were ex ante more dependent on market funding and had lower structural liquidity reduced supply of credit more than other banks during crisis. The ability of banks to generate interest income during the financial crisis was hampered because there was a vast reduction in bank lending to individuals and

The financial crisis of 2008 has been, so far, the worst financial meltdown of today’s generation. The crisis not only brought a halt to the banking system as we know it, caused major financial institutions to close their doors for good, but required a Government bailout in order to stabilize the failing economy. The eventual collapse of the established institutions and the recession that followed, caused the finance industry to re-think their position and ideology on their operating practices so that the same type of occurrence would not repeat itself again.

In this essay I am going to discuss the effects of shadow banking on the recent financial crisis of 2007-8. Shadow banking was one of the major causes of the financial crisis since it was the subprime mortgages which was the first trigger of the collapse in the banking system. Through this essay I am to achieve a detailed analysis of why the shadow banking was one of the causes in the financial crisis and why was it not prevented by any regulation enforced. The basis of shadow banking system is that it occurs when financial intermediaries conduct transformation of maturity, credit and liquidity without having access to the central bank liquidity guarantees or even public sector credit. Maturity transformation: obtaining short-term funds to

In this essay I will be addressing the “Too Big To Fail” (TBTF) problem in the current banking system. I will be discussing the risks associated with this policy, and the real problems behind it. I will then examine some solutions that have been proposed to solve the “too big to fail” problem. The policy ‘too big to fail’ refers to the idea that a bank has become so large that its failure could cause a disastrous effect to the rest of the economy, and so the government will provide assistance, in the form of perhaps a bailout/oversee a merger, to prevent this from happening. This is to protect the creditors and allow the bank to continue operating. If a bank does fail then this could cause a domino effect throughout

According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the number of bank branches shrinks dramatically after the crisis. A total loss of 7, 689 bank branches occurred from 2009 to 2016. Figure \ref{f: map} shows the gain and loss of bank branches in the U.S. counties. In the local lending markets, banks used to act as the key financial intermediaries. A well developed banking network eases access to credit, which benefits the local economy by eliminating poverty (Burgess and Pande 2005) and activating the labor markets (Bruhn and Love 2014). However, the use of credit score and the development of secondary market reduces the importance of lender-borrower distance in local credit supply markets (Petersen and Rajan 2002; Berger

A well functioning financial system is necessary for enhancing the efficiency of intermediation, which is achieved by mobilizing domestic savings, channeling them into productive investment by identifying and funding good business opportunities, reducing information, transaction, and monitoring costs and facilitating the diversification of risk. This results in efficient allocation of resources, contributing to a more rapid accumulation of physical and human capital, and faster technological progress, which in turn lead to higher economic growth.
