The trouble is that, by 2010, the shadow banking system was about the same size as it was just before the 2007 market crash, whereas the regulated global banking system was 18 larger than in 2007. That is why the FSB report pinpoints the shadow banking system, together with the large global banks, as sources of systemic risk.

The weak capacities of local implementing partners and lack of a banking system also constrain effective implementation.

The alternative theory of a global credit glut gained more ground with the release last week of the Financial Stability Board s report on shadow banking. The FSB report contains startling revelations about the scale of global shadow banking, which it defines as credit intermediation involving entities and activities outside the regular banking system.

Third, the interaction between the shadow banking system and the global banks is highly concentrated, because the global banks act as prime brokers, particularly for derivative trades. Data from the US Comptroller of Currency suggest that the top five US banks account for 96 of the total over the counter (OTC) derivative trades in the US.

According to market sources, total assets managed by the shadow banking system have risen exponentially since 2009, totaling 14 trillion, or one third of GDP, in the third quarter of 2012. With relatively slow growth, corporate profitability, upon which the returns of the shadow banking system s asset pools are based, is low and falling.

For example, the country s Central Bank the Czech National Bank uses EDI to exchange information with other banks.

On top of all this, there is a shadow financial system of non bank financial institutions that, like banks, borrow short and liquid and lend to or invest in longer term and illiquid assets. This shadow system includes structured investment vehicles (SIVs), conduits, money market funds, hedge funds, and investment banks.

Obviously, the domino effect need not stop there the insolvency of banks A and B could get a bank C and additional banks into trouble. Indeed, the entire over indebted fractional reserve banking subsystem might have to be liquidated.

The shadow banking system is estimated at roughly 25 30 of the global financial system ( 250 trillion, excluding derivatives) and at half of total global banking assets. This represents a huge regulatory black hole at the center of the global financial system, hitherto not closely monitored for monetary and financial stability purposes.

Allowing foreign banks subsidiaries to become orphaned amid a worsening crisis in home countries would undermine confidence in emerging Europe s financial systems, which could trigger asset price declines and precipitous contractions in credit.

Another 1.5 trillion is needed to bring banks capital back to pre crisis level, which is needed to resolve the credit crunch and restore lending to the private sector. So, the US banking system is effectively insolvent in the aggregate most of the British banking system looks insolvent, too, as do many continental European banks.

Worse, restricting commercial banks role as financial intermediaries and encouraging the growth of unregulated shadow banking has generated even more risks for China s economy.

In May 2007, Estonia was the victim of cyberattacks, that damaged its communication and banking systems.

At the very least, the combination of higher interest rates in the shadow banking sector and weaker nominal GDP growth undermines borrowers debt repayment capacity. In a worst case scenario, falling property prices or diminishing faith in implicit government guarantees would compound the risks generated by the shadow banking system, severely undermining China s financial stability.

And the regulatory boundary problem persists risky activities may migrate to areas where regulation is lax and reproduce the problems with the shadow banking system that we have witnessed during the crisis. As a result, investment banking operations might need to be rescued if they pose a systemic threat.
