Global Financial Development Report 2019 / 2020: Bank Regulation and Supervision a Decade after the Global Financial Crisis

image

Overview

Over a decade has passed since the onset of the largest global economic crisis since the Great Depression. The crisis revealed major shortcomings in market discipline, regulation, and supervision. The Global Financial Development Report 2019/2020 provides new data and evidence on the regulatory remedies adopted to prevent future financial instability and sheds light on ongoing policy debates.

Main Messages

  • Developing countries have increased their minimum capital requirements to help curb risks, but greater information disclosure and supervisory capacity are needed.
  • Effective regulation and supervision need to harness the power of market discipline to curb excessive risk-taking by private parties.
  • Bank regulations need to be compatible with incentives, but designing and enforcing such regulations are complex tasks.
  • Less complex regulations may mean more effective enforcement by supervisors and better monitoring by stakeholders.
  • Globalization and technological change are important trends that make it even more challenging to provide effective oversight of banks.
