In addition, prudential regulations have lagged behind.

There, unprecedented leverage, massive debt creation, and a seemingly infinite sense of credit entitlement prevailed. Financial excesses become the rule rather than the exception, facilitated by financial innovation and the erosion of lending standards and prudential regulation.

The National Security Act 1992 Financial Institutions Act 1992 Prudential Regulation 2002 Bhutan Penal Code 2004.

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.

Standards. Two standards are proposed.

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.

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 .

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.

But, in the absence of international consensus on some key points, reform will be greatly weakened, if not aborted. The freedom of money, financial markets, and people to move and thus to escape regulation and taxation might be an acceptable, even constructive, brake on excessive official intervention, but not if a deregulatory race to the bottom prevents adoption of needed ethical and prudential standards.

Developing standards

Setting standards

Minimal standards

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.

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.

The most illustrative examples of NTBs include plant and animal health standards, food safety standards, environmental certification and other similar export quality standards.

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.

International standards, including technical standards and sanitary and phytosanitary standards, can also pose an additional challenge to developing countries with regard to accessing international markets.

Technical standards, including standards at the international level, are also being discussed (including definitional questions of technical and international standards, and how harmonization with international standards should be linked to the fulfilment of the objectives of VI.4).

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.

The standards task force of the ICT Board continues to address ICT standards throughout the Secretariat.

Nor do large international reserves guarantee financial stability. There are better ways to enhance stability, from strengthening prudential supervision to taxing and controlling destabilizing capital flows and letting the exchange rate adjust.
