| | Financial capital - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
 | | When in forms other than money, financial capital may be traded on bond markets or reinsurance markets with varying degrees of trust in the social capital (not just credits) of bond-issuers, insurers, and others who issue and trade in financial instruments. | | | This article focuses mostly on financial instruments which are not uniformly affected by native currency inflation and which are not guaranteed by a state. | | | Trading in stock markets or commodity markets is actually trade in underlying assets which are not wholly financial in themselves, although they often move up and down in value in direct response to the trading in more purely financial derivatives. |

| | Paper: Globalization and the International Financial System |
| | Despite widespread agreement that the international financial system and the global economy stand to benefit from the development and adoption of internationally agreed codes and standards, such efforts are not without their critics and detractors. | | | Finally, widespread agreement on codes and standards governing participants in international financial markets does little to improve the functioning of the international financial system unless the codes and standards are adhered to and unless participants in international financial markets pay close attention to the extent and quality of their implementation. | | | The antiglobalizers in their criticisms, informed or uninformed, of the workings of the international economy and financial system are able to join with many others who decry what they perceive as the directionless sloshing of vast amounts of funds around the world. |

| | Those advanced infrastructures generally have been able to discourage speculative attacks against a well-entrenched currency because their financial systems are robust and are able to withstand large and rapid capital outflows of foreign currency instruments, and the often vigorous policy responses required to stem such attacks. | | | The new international financial system that has evolved as a consequence has been, despite recent setbacks, a major factor in the marked increase in living standards for those economies that have chosen to participate in it. | | | The financial instruments of a bygone era, common stocks and debt obligations, have been augmented by a vast array of complex hybrid financial products, which allow risks to be isolated, but which, in many cases, seemingly challenge human understanding. |

| | Strengthening the International Financial System and the Multilateral Development Banks |
| | In the Report on Strengthening the International Financial Architecture submitted to the Cologne Summit in 1999, we encouraged the IMF to continue its work on the appropriate pace and sequencing of capital account liberalization. | | | Financial sector reform — Strong, transparent and well functioning financial sectors are an essential condition for development. | | | The financial crises in emerging market countries over the past decade have underscored both the costs of financial instability and the speed with which problems in one country can spread to others. |

| | Strengthening the Architecture of the International Financial System |
| | In addition, the IMF and other international financial institutions should publicize their concerns about important gaps in countries' disclosure and consider conditioning access to loans on countries' willingness to improve their transparency. | | | Developing a strong financial system that is a match for the challenges of a global financial market is a long and difficult process. | | | Experience shows that when countries allow foreign financial service providers into their markets — with all the competition, capital and expertise they bring with them — the strength of financial systems is greatly enhanced. |

| | WHO International Financial System |
| | Sometimes referred to as the global financial system, this is the collective name for the various official and legal arrangements that govern international financial flows in the form of loan investment, payments for goods and services, interest and profit remittances. | | | The main elements are the surveillance and monitoring of economic and financial stability, and provision of multilateral finance to countries with balance of payments difficulties. | | | The organization at the centre of the system is the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which has the mandate to ensure its effective running. |

| | FRB: Testimony, Greenspan -- The growing international financial system -- November 13, 1997 |
| | While the current turmoil has significant interaction with the international financial system, the recent crises would arguably have been better contained if long-maturity property loans had not accentuated the usual mismatch between maturities of assets and liabilities of domestic financial systems that were far from robust to begin with. | | | Similarly, in providing any international financial assistance, we need to be mindful of the desirability of minimizing the impression that international authorities stand ready to guarantee the external liabilities of sovereign governments or failed domestic businesses. | | | The financial disturbances that have afflicted a number of currencies in Asia do not at this point, as I indicated earlier, threaten prosperity in this country, but we need to work closely with their leaders and the international financial community to assure that their situations stabilize. |

| | FRB: Speech, Greenspan -- Understanding today's international financial system -- May 7, 1998 |
| | Once a private financial institution infers the amount of capital it must devote to ensure against, first, illiquidity and, finally, insolvency, the size of its balance sheet for maximum rate of return on equity, adjusted for risk, is determined. | | | These global financial markets, engendered by the rapid proliferation of cross-border financial flows and products, have developed a capability of transmitting mistakes at a far faster pace throughout the financial system in ways that were unknown a generation ago. | | | In this rapidly expanding international financial system, the primary protection from adverse financial disturbances is effective counterparty surveillance and, hence, government regulation and supervision should seek to produce an environment in which counterparties can most effectively oversee the credit risks of potential transactions. |

| | The Korea Times : Capital Flow, Aging Population Challenge APEC Members |
| | Financial globalization, coupled with falling costs of crossborder transactions since the 1980s, has accelerated the free movement of capital across economies. | | | Major factors of currency crisis are caused from an economic system that is dependent on short term capital, improper capital liberalization, and an absence of short-term capital flow monitoring. | | | Effective management ultimately depends on economies having strong and resilient economic and financial systems, and the adoption of a set of consistent and mutually reinforcing macroeconomic, exchange rate, financial, and structural policies. |

| | FSF reviews vulnerabilities and efforts to strengthen the international financial system (BIS Press Releases 4 Sep 2002) |
| | The FSF calls upon national and international standard setters to accelerate their efforts at developing more comparable, accurate and transparent ways of accounting for these in financial statements; to improve international accounting standards; and to bring about greater international convergence on principles-based standards. | | | The experience of the financial sector overall supports the benefits of the considerable investments in risk management that had previously been made. | | | The erosion of confidence in the wake of misleading financial statements and the recent series of large corporate failures has had serious and widespread repercussions on financial markets. |

| | Reform of the International Financial System |
| | Many analysts and financiers, particularly at the outset of the crises, argued that the lack of proper disclosure or high level of transparency hampered the appropriate assessment of risks. | | | There have been many cases where a country tries to defend a rigid exchange rate system at all costs until finally it has to abandon the pre-set target and opt for a flexible regime, and in the process economic activity is stifled by too tight fiscal and monetary policies. | | | These are, I think, the core of the wide-ranging issues concerning the so-called international financial architecture although there are many other issues, including a need for more transparency, standards for good practices, and enhanced supervision. |

| | International Monetary System |
| | Under such a system, nations fix the value of their currencies not with respect to gold, but to some foreign currency, which is in turn fixed to and redeemable in gold. | | | The euro was introduced in financial markets in 1999 as replacement for the currencies (including the Deutschmark) of 11 countries belonging to the European Union (EU); it began circulating in 2002 in 12 EU nations (see European Monetary System). | | | Widespread inflation after the United States abandoned gold convertibility forced the IMF to agree (1976) on a system of floating exchange rates, by which the gold standard became obsolete and the values of various currencies were to be determined by the market. |

| | Stability and Growth in the International Financial System |
| | One of the much vaunted benefits of global integration is that it allows developing countries to use international financial markets to diversify and hedge against their risks. | | | More generally, it is not considered prudent to hold international reserves equal to or greater than short-term foreign debt, a policy that amounts to developing countries borrowing from industrial country banks at high interest rates only to relend the money to industrial country Treasuries at low interest rates. | | | The international community justifies this support because it is worried about the potential for contagion and systemic risk in these types of crises. |

| | The UK of course is not a member of the EU, so they have their own financial services administration, which is their financial insurance and banking and regulator that oversees these matters. | | | I think what he has said is that we need to control the deficit, make sure that financial markets do not perceive the deficit as an embedded part of our financial structure, as an entrenched part of the financial structure, and to do that we need to control spending and control the deficit. | | | And I think the evidence is pretty clear that the litigation system is driving lots of physicians and doctors and health care providers and nurses out of that profession, raising the cost of health care in the United States. |
