The financial institutions are required to comply with the requirements of section 18.3 of Prudential Regulations 2002, which pertains to the Know your customer policy .

After the crisis, world leaders and central bankers overhauled banking regulations, first and foremost by rectifying the Basel prudential rules. Unfortunately, the new Basel III Accord and the ensuing EU Capital Requirements Directive have failed to correct the two main shortcomings of international prudential rules namely, their reliance on banks risk management models for the calculation of capital requirements, and the lack of supervisory accountability.

For example, audit, entry and annual fees, tax on business profit, prudential requirements such as minimum capital, bank guarantee and minimum managerial experience as required in some States.

Other countries adopted slightly different models. A fashionable approach was known as twin peaks, whereby one regulator handled prudential regulation setting capital requirements while another oversaw adherence to business rules.

In addition, prudential regulations have lagged behind.

Platforms that offer basic deposit and loan facilities should be classified as banks, whose transactions entail credit, liquidity, and trading risks that merit prudential supervision alongside measures like risk based capital requirements. Nonetheless, it is important not to overburden these firms with complex, high level capital adequacy requirements that would impede their operational flexibility.

A further distortion stems from the prudential regulation adopted in reaction to the global financial crisis. The imposition of higher capital requirements on riskier investments has pushed financial institutions into holding government debt, which in turn means that they have less money available to lend for productive investment.

Such a reliability requirement merely transfers the prudential judgement from the relying party to the judge or adjudicator.

As people become more familiar with electronic signatures, they will become more experienced at making that prudential judgement.

UNCTAD is providing assistance to Burundi to establish its strategies for legislation and the prudential regulation of its insurance sector.

The Basel Committee, in its Customer due diligence for banks (CDD) paper of October 2001, issued prudential guidance in this area.

These are the Royal Monetary Authority Act 1982, Financial Institution Act 1992, Foreign Exchange Regulations 1997 and the Prudential Regulations 2002.

Avoidance of prudential requirements is at the core of today s financial crisis, exacerbated by the collapse of confidence in a system based on trust. This has exposed the fragility of the banking system, including quasi banking institutions, as revealed by Bears Sterns, Lehman Brothers, and other US investment banks, and in Europe by Northern Rock, UBS, WestLB, and many more.

People are currently less familiar with the potentials and vulnerabilities of methods of signing electronically, and may be less proficient in making that prudential judgement.

The judge or adjudicator may be no more competent to make that prudential judgement, although he or she may have the benefit of expert evidence.

Third, a country s financial sector must be both open, with no capital flow restrictions, and sophisticated, with a wide range of instruments and institutions. It must also be safe, with a central bank maintaining economic stability, prudential regulators keeping fraud and speculation in check, macro prudential authorities displaying adequate financial fire fighting capabilities, and a legal system that is predictable, transparent, and fair.

The use of the Lisbon Treaty clause means that the ECB must be given these additional responsibilities. But it is impossible to create a separate bank supervision entity within the ECB, as has been done in France, for example, with the Prudential Control Authority, or in the UK with the new Prudential Regulatory Authority, which has its own board and accountability arrangements within the Bank of England.
