In this report, Treasury presents a series of "short-term" and "intermediate-term" recommendations that could immediately improve and reform the U.S. regulatory structure.

Banking Law in the United States - Fourth Edition
Author: Alfred M. PollardPublisher: Juris Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1578233615
Category : Banking law
Languages : en
Pages : 1404
Book Description
The all-new revised fourth edition of Banking Law in the United States positions the text to address three challenges — the need to maintain an historic record and statement of existing law, the need to document changes made to existing law and to report the deployment, implementation and interpretation of new laws. Just as new laws in 1989, 1990 and 1991 had significant impact on banking, so new laws, adopted in rapid succession in 2008, 2009 and 2010, have altered the legal landscape in which banks and other financial institutions operate. The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, adopted in 2010, set the stage not only for new agencies, new regulatory authorities and new market restrictions, but also for extensive interpretive regulation and judicial interpretations implementing such changes. As a result, the all new 4th edition positions Banking Law in the United States to accommodate legal and market changes and whatever secondary, reactive responses occur in the law and the environment in which it operates. This new edition continues to meet the needs of practitioners, courts, legislators and regulators and those interested in better understanding the breadth and diversity and dynamic nature of banking law in the United States.

Financing American Higher Education in the Era of Globalization
Author: William ZumetaPublisher: Harvard Education Press
ISBN: 1612502539
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This ambitious book grows out of the realization that a convergence of economic, demographic, and political forces in the early twenty-first century requires a fundamental reexamination of the financing of American higher education. The authors identify and address basic issues and trends that cut across the sectors of higher education, focusing on such questions as how much higher education the country needs for individual opportunity and for economic viability in the future; how responsibility for paying for it is currently allocated; and how financing higher education should be addressed in the future.
Savings for the Poor
Author: Michael A. StegmanPublisher: Brookings Institution Press
ISBN: 9780815721000
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Beginning this year, federal payment recipients will receive their government benefits through electronic funds transfer (EFT)-- what most of us call direct deposit. Although cost-cutting is the driving force behind the move to a virtually all-electronic federal payment system, Michael Stegman believes the initiative has a far broader potential: to bring poor Americans into the banking mainstream. In this book Stegman outlines how many families will enter the mainstream banking system through EFT '99, as the program is called. He explains in careful detail the thinking behind the shift to EFT and the implementation of the program this year. He also argues that, for maximum success, EFT '99 should be combined with a program of national Individual Development Accounts (IDAs), dedicated savings accounts for low-income people that can be used for purchasing a first home, acquiring more education or job training, or starting a small-business. Essentially, EFT '99 will bring people into the banking system, and IDAs will give them an incentive to use the system to its fullest in order to make their money work for them and their children. There are other steps that the government can take to boost EFT's ability to help public aid recipients achieve self-sufficiency. It can: add a direct deposit option to state benefits payments programs; give banks significant additional Community Reinvestment Act Credit for establishing accounts for EFT recipients; and regulate fees for cashing government benefits and voluntary accounts so that people are not charged excessively for accessing their money. This book demonstrates that — with careful planning and a relatively small investment — the government's EFT initiative can have a major payoff in real assets and improved prospects for those who have been, for far too long, on the fringes of the country's mainstream banking system.

Financial Modernization and Regulation
Author: Robert A. EisenbeisPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475752288
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Financial systems around the world are undergoing a process of modernization due to many different forces. Advances in information technology, product and market innovations, and recent regional financial crises have contributed to this movement. As a result, evolution in the financial sector is leading to larger, more complex financial organizations that render inadequate the supervisory and regulatory structures currently in place. While some changes in regulatory policies have already occurred, the adaptation of supervisory oversight and regulation in the face of these new developments is expected to continue for many years to come. This book collects papers originally presented in September 1998 at the Financial Modernization and Regulation Conference co-sponsored by the Federal Reserve Banks of Atlanta and San Francisco. Revised before publication, the papers seek to identify the reasons for changes in the financial services sector, and the implications these changes pose for financial supervision and regulation. Taken together, the papers offer valuable insights on 1) the forces behind financial modernization; 2) the implications financial modernization poses for corporate structure, market discipline, and financial regulation; 3) how to price deposit insurance accurately to reflect banks' risk-taking; and 4) balancing private versus public interests and managing potentially conflicting public policy goals.
The Future of Banking
Author: Benton E. GupPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313011613
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
The basic functions of banking—lending, deposit taking, and making payments—are constant. What changes are the forms banking takes in response to increases in competition, globalizaion, new laws, and emerging technologies. Among the most visible of these changes will be an increase in the consolidation and globalization of banking in the world's major trading countries. Now, prestigious academics and practitioners, including regulators from around the world, join Benton E. Gup in exploring these coming changes—and by doing so, define a global perspective on banking's future. They find that the consolidation of banking will persist on a global scale. Electronic banking in all its forms will increase in importance, and banking in mature economies will be even more different from what it is now in developing economies. While focusing on the financial system in the United States, Gup's panel of contributors also explores financial systems in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. Like Gup, they predict that a small handful of very large banks will control a disproportionate share of bank assets. Their views provide an unusual survey of current thinking in the domains of banking and finance, and an important source of current information, background, and foresights for banking and finance practitioners, students, and academics.
