About this book

This book takes you on a journey through post-crisis regulatory reform, highlighting the unintended consequences of some of the measures on transaction banking, a business that provides the backbone of financial markets.

Reviews

'This book brings to light the challenges of international regulation and clarifies the role of transaction services in supporting the world economy. It is an essential navigation tool to understand unintended consequences of regulations on this vital business, where rectifying measures should be applied.'

Vítor Constâncio, Vice President European Central Bank

'The importance of transaction banking services, such as trade finance, to the real economy has to be considered in the context of Basel III and other key legislative developments. This book constitutes a critical contribution to the design of the bank regulatory regime post-crisis, which needs to ensure that critical banking services can continue to be delivered in support of the global economy.'

Sharon Bowles, Former Member of the European Parliament and Chair of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee 2009 2014
