Summary/Abstract: During the global financial crisis exchange stock markets fell by more than 40% in Europe, USA or Japan. Real economy stopped, which was seen in international trade, direct investments and industry. These declines illustrate the scale and impact of systemic risk and its local and global consequences. In response, international supervisory and regulators have identified causes of the global financial crisis and took necessary steps to create stability of financial system, discipline in risk-taking, leverage and management of systemic risk. At the present, the global economy is facing some critical factors - supervisory improvement to minimize the risk and its impact of economy and simultaneously market participants examine the multi-faceted nature of regulation. The question is how to make sure that regulation are suitable for potential risk exposure and appropriate to financial institutions capitalization? The other topic is measures of systemic risk factors associated funding, profitability and bank liquidity through stress testing and economic analysis. What is the current level of systemic risk in the global financial system? The increased complexity of financial markets is a relatively new challenge that requires a fundamental shift in our thinking with respect to risk measurement. But we cannot manage what we do not measure. It is unlikely that a single measure of systemic risk will suffice. We anticipate that the variety of inputs ranging from financial stability, liberalization, concentration, and connectedness will all be revealing. Meaningful measurement requires a clear definition of systemic risk and thoughtful modelling of it. There are three major components to the challenge of monitoring systemic risk: the availability of data, modeling and measurement. Practical aspects of monitoring of systemic risks are, therefore, high on the policy of regulatory and supervisory community. Meet to this crucial problems regulators discuss aspects of macro-prudential frameworks, including Basel III capital buffer and monitoring of financial systems in order to detect vulnerability signs. Last years, policy makers, regulators and academics have been exploring questions related to financial stability, systemic risk and regulation. Thus, the goal of this book -Challenges to Financial Stability - Perspective, Models and Policies - is to encourage the exchange of new ideas about challenges in global trends in finance in the view of wide aspects of current critical perspective of financial system evolution. This special book addresses answers of these difficult questions. The target audience for this publication is academics, researchers and policy makers engaged in various disciplines such as evolution of the financial system, empirical financial analysis, macro and micro economic, including banking, currency and capital market, financial market liberalization and regulation, risk measurement & management. I expect that this special book will shed light on some of the challenges to stability of global financial system. The book consists of 19 chapters that are organized in 2 volumes: Volume I - A Framework for Modelling Systemic Risk Drivers of Different Markets and Volume II - Towards the Financial Stability – Macroprudential Policy and Perspective.

- Summary/Abstract:The recent financial crisis has highlighted the need to complement in a more integral fashion the micro-prudential approach to financial regulation and supervision with a proper assessment of systemic risks. Thus, there has been more emphasis in considering a macroprudential approach for the design of the prudential policies and governance of the regulatory and supervisory authorities to achieve financial stability. We suggest a series of principles that should govern the design of rules and institutions, and argue that Financial Stability Committees are adequate institutional responses to face current challenges. In particular, they turn financial safety nets into financial stability nets that contribute and reinforce micro and macro-prudential perspectives.

- No. of Pages:21
- Keywords:accountability; central banking; financial crisis; financial stability; monetary policy; transparency
- Summary/Abstract:The principal objective of this chapter is to identify and assess practical tendencies in development of central banking accountability for financial stability. The accountability of central bank is treated - be it in theory or in practice - as one of the institutional conditions of effective central bank’s financial stability policy. In highly developed countries a regular process of formalization of the goal of financial stability is noted as one of the goals assumed by the central bank coupled by the heterogenic manner of defining the goal of financial stability. However, consolidation of objective accountability is not evenly accompanied by formal relationship arrangements between the central bank and the accountee. It can be also concluded that the one-size-fitsall principle should not be employed when developing institutional arrangements concerning the accountability of the central bank related to financial stability. At the same time, it is important to draw on experiences of solutions concerning the goal of price stability (a ‘rational analogy’ approach seems to be effective here).

- Keywords:European banking; efficiency; regulation; risk; performance; inefficiency
- Summary/Abstract:This chapter aims at investigating the need for more efficiency in the European banking sector with particular reference on the impact of bank supervisory and regulatory policies on different aspects of banking performance and cost efficiency. The chapter uses inter-temporal links between capital regulations, bank efficiency, and risk in order to depict the inefficiencies in regulating the European banking industry. The review emphasizes on the importance of more efficiency in regulating the banking sector, which has become more competitive and integrated. The need for more efficiency has been related to the efforts by regulatory authorities to encourage banking institutions to work towards efficient production and operation functions. The impact of the increasing regulation inefficiency in European banking has been evaluated relative to risk prevalence, as well as deregulation standards.

- Keywords:financial crisis; economic resistance; economic freedom; EEA
- Summary/Abstract:In the scientific literature there are many publications focused on the causes of financial crisis of 2008. However, causes of the crisis are one issue, while the second one is the ability of the other countries to amortise the impact of the breakdown in the USA economy on their own economies. Evidences from European experiences show that even highly globalized economies tended to react to this phenomena with a different intensity. The chapter focuses on the factors responsible for the level of the resistance of developed and highly globalized economies to the crisis of 2008. The main aim of the research is to examine the role of the elements of public policy and economic freedom among the factors responsible for the resistance of the economies to the crisis on the basis of the EEA countries (without Lichtenstein because of the lack of data), and Switzerland. Following potential determinants were considered: branch structure of the economy, shares of the enterprises by size class, the level of market capitalization and dependency on banking, public debt, budget deficit, economic condition before the crisis, and Index of Economic Freedom. The analysis was conducted with usage of correlation coefficients and random-effect GLS regression models.

- Keywords:financial stability; systemic risk; monetary policy; open economy; euroisation
- Summary/Abstract:Financial stability does not have a precise definition. A stable financial system implies a state of institutional, regulation and an open market environment in which accurate information is available and there are effective mechanisms to adequately assess the risk in transactions. In such a business environment, the return corresponds to the undertaken risk and the risks are properly identified and addressed. Systemic risk includes all risks in the market, acting alone or in interaction with the associated risks that can jeopardize the stability of the system. Macroprudential policy is a policy that is focused on threats that create such systemic risk. An appropriate choice of macroeconomic and prudential policies is oriented towards the creation of a financial system that is able to absorb serious disorders, prevent accumulation of systemic risk and perform the basic functions in a safe and sound financial market. In open economies, especially those with the choice of a more fixed exchange rate policy framework such as euroisation, monetary policy instruments become less effective and limited. In such a policy situation, the maintenance of financial stability becomes more important and targets not only monetary policy but also the overall macroeconomic policy stance. The institutional and legal framework aims to create a financial infrastructure that would initiate preventive actions to preserve stability and prevent the development of a crisis which is the final phase of instability.

- Keywords:central banks; macro-prudential policy; financial stability; systemic risk; coordination
- Summary/Abstract:The failures of the adopted consensus, before and during the recent crisis, launched a new “post - consensus “that the central bank should expand its mandate and policies of financial stability. Expanding the mandate includes the joint application of central bank policy and macroprudential policy and greater responsibility for ensuring financial stability. A new framework of financial stability is established in practice. Institutionally, the partial integration has been established under the same roof, the Bank of England, with a particular branch of separate macroprudential policy integration within the EU, the establishment of an independent body to ensure financial stability. The joint action of central bank policy and macroprudential policies to ensure financial system stability is ensured coordination and communication. Coordination and communication, both policies will lead to an alignment of goals and setting instruments. At the same time, such behavior will result in the avoidance of conflict between the objectives and activities of the central banks and macroprudential policy.

- Summary/Abstract:The price stability-financial stability relation is based on the assumption that both types of stability offer each other long-term support. These two concepts are not similar, although they are strongly connected. Price stability is an important condition for achieving financial stability. This chapter aims to present the opinion of the literature regarding these two concepts and the relationship between them and to analyze this relationship in Romania’s case. Romania is an open economy that faced many financial inflows in the post-communist era. It is important to see their impact on the Romanian financial and price stability and how the National Bank of Romania acted in this context.

- Keywords:shadow banking, crisis; informal finance; China
- Summary/Abstract:The US and Chinese shadow banking systems are vastly different, but both present a potential threat to the economy. For the US, the shadow banking system is large and an increasingly integral part of the financial sector. For China, regulations are helping to curb bad behavior, but fast growth of new, unregulated instruments or aspects of the informal financialsector may present a problem. The kaleidoscopic Chinese economy is extremely difficult to regulate but essential to control, particularly since it is closely interconnected with the rest of the world economy. In this chapter, we compare the American and Chinese shadow banking systems in terms of scale, nature, and potential risk, making policy recommendations for each.

- Summary/Abstract:Foreign capital flows and exports are widely recognized for the positive externalities generated both in the host country economy and the source one. This chapter aims at emphasizing the existence of a long-run or short-run correlation among FDI, trade openness and economic growth in CEECs, through the VECM method and Johansen Co-integration test. The analysis uses data over the period 1991 - 2011 and the results have revealed the strong interdependency among the selected variables for Bulgaria and Hungary in long run. The findings for Romania, Slovakia and Czech Republic have proved a short-run causality. Further analysis shall be implemented and developed using a panel study, including both developed and developing economies, from different regions and various econometric techniques.

- Summary/Abstract:In this chapter, we investigate the stability of Phillips Curve for 14 developing countries, using annual panel data from 1991 to 2012. After checking the data for stationarity purpose, we used various panel unit root tests and found the data were almost stationary at level. Our sample of 14 countries grouped into two groups-Asian and non-Asian developing countries. The empirical results reveals that in the group of Non-Asians countries regardless of the model effects, the effects of unemployment on inflation is not considerable and the estimated coefficients of unemployment is not only of small value but insignificant all around in the case study Mostly, results of the present study with robust estimates confirm, that there is no significant relationship between inflation and unemployment in selected group of countries and suggest that the Philips Curve is unstable.
