Banking in India

by K. S. Hasan (1979)

About this book

This book, one of a series of guides to foreign banking systems, has been produced to present a concise account of the banking system currently operating in India, a two-tier system that has evolved from the joint influences of the traditional and English patterns. It is based on a German text written by Dr. Khaja Shoeb Hasan and translated in English by Roy North. It commences with an outline of the origins and develolpment of the Indian banking system and describes its economic background, legal framework and particular features. The Reserve Bank of India, its functions and its central role in controlling the financial and credit sectors is described, as are the functions of the commercial banks and their nationalisation. The various credit institutions concerned with raising finance for agriculture and industry are also discussed. Official statistics including those of the Reserve Bank of India have been culled from primary sources and are extensively quoted throughout the book.

The interaction of monetary policy and wage bargaining in the European Monetary Union

Sebastian Dullien

"Sebastian Dullien gives a explanation for unemployment and inflation in the Euro-Zone. He argues that unemployment stems from a lack of cooperation between unions and monetary authorities. In an economy with endogenous money and monopolistic competition in good markets, the standard economic textbooks' distribution of macroeconomic responsibilities are turned upside down - wage setters are now responsible for price stability while the European Central Bank is responsible for level of output." "Only unions with a small and limited constituency can increase employment by simple wage restraint. However, this is shown to be a beggar-thy-neighbour policy, destroying employment elsewhere. On a European level, only when unions and the central bank cooperate can high employment and low inflation be achieved simultaneously. The institutional set-up with the 1999 Cologne process is found to be unable to assure such a cooperation."--BOOK JACKET.

Cover of Crisis

Crisis

Thomas F. Huertas

Crisis: Cause, Containment and Cure explains how the global financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 came about, how it is being contained and what steps should be taken to prevent such a crisis from happening againches Written by the Director of the Banking Sector at the Financial Services Authority, it gives a first-hand view of policy making combined with rigorous economic analysis presented in an easily readable style. It is analytical - not anecdotal - based on up-to-date economic theory and recent policy pronouncements, including both macroeconomic and financial sector aspects. There are numerous books on the crisis but few which have the breadth, analytical rigour and first-hand experience of policy-making offered here by Dr. Huertas. Enhanced with diagrams to illustrate key concepts, this book will be a valuable resource for banks, central banks, public policy makers, banking regulators, law firms, securities associations, finance ministries, students of banking, finance and monetary economics and indeed anyone who seeks a balanced, comprehensive, global authoritative view of the crisis.
