Introduction The most debated critical issue among developed economies is about banking reforms after the global financial crisis of 2008. Vickers (2012) argues that the combination of retail and investment banking increases the failure risks associated with the banking system which in turn leads to different financial crisis. The debate is over the implementation of suggested reforms in terms of splitting the universal banking model which includes both investment and retail banking sectors under one roof. The main suggestions are about employing ring-fencing techniques in retail banking to separate it from investment banking. Different proposals in the different countries are taken into consideration for reforming the banking structures …show more content…
It was maintained that universal banks not only provide tailored services to the customers but also lower customers’ costs by employing economies of scale that traditional commercial banks cannot utilize (Aguirre, Lee, and Pantos, 2008). Further, universal banking system is more financially stable due to their diversification model. In addition, the measures of customers benefits due to inter-connectivity of the financial institution are highlighted which in turn may be affected as a result of separating entities by treasury committee. However, on the other side, Treasury committee exemplifying the Lehman Brothers’ case accepted that inter-connectivity of the financial entities meant a lot. It was accepted that the viability of separating the entities in terms of mitigating the risks is associated with the inter-connectivity of the …show more content…
On one hand, many favored the viability and stability of reforms while, on the other hand, some authors argued that the reforms would decrease the diversity of operations and will increase the failure risks associated. For instance, Chow and Surti (2011) shed light on the plausible viability of ring-fencing technique in terms of coping with contagion risks. In the same regard, Montanaro, and Tonveronachi, (2011) stated that one size fits for all approach may not be able to produce an effective results and varying country specific implications can worsen the challenges, as a result. However, with the discussed arguments it is accepted that relatively low investment share universal models are more stable in the crisis time which is supported by many empirical evidences. Some of the major empirical studies that favor a high/low-investment structure are discussed in
In their work, Plato and Paulo Freire have offered harsh critiques of education and learning. Plato compares people to prisoners in a cave of darkness in relation to knowledge, and Freire refers to a “Banking Concept” of education in which teachers put their thoughts and information into students’ minds much like the deposition of money into a bank. Instead of this money being of value, Freire and Plato acknowledge that the value declines. Although many people refute the concept of accepting new knowledge and admission of mistakes, I claim that both Plato and Freire produce valid points about the corruption of education because people cannot learn unless they have an open mind and truly desire to learn. Ultimately, what is at stake here is the effectiveness of learning and continuing the cycle of education.
With the floodgates open, it would be impractical and unsafe to deal with millions of dollars in cash. Under these circumstances, the implementation of a new and separate banking system is necessary, as the existing global financial institution will not be willing to go against international money laundering laws.
“Education thus becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor. Instead of communicating, the teacher issues communiques and makes deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize, and repeat. This is the "banking" concept of education, in which the scope of action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the deposits. They do, it is true, have the opportunity to become collectors or cataloguers of the things they store. But in the last analysis, it is men themselves who are filed away through the lack of creativity, transformation, and knowledge in this (at best) misguided system. For apart from inquiry, apart from the praxis, men cannot be truly human. Knowledge emerges only through
Historically, banks link savings to investment. Deposits are paid in by savers, the bank’s liabilities, some of that money is held in capital reserve and the rest is lent to businesses and entrepreneurs as loans, the bank’s assets. The savers will be paid interest on their deposits, and the enterprises will have to pay interest on their loans, higher than the interest paid to depositors; the difference in interest is the banks revenue. This is a fairly mundane business model which banks have been doing for over 600 years. Recent declines in interest rates have led to decreased profit margins on this type of intermediation. Banks needed to diversify, and the deregulation of UK banks in 1986, and the emergence of light touch regulation, allowed them to do such. Retail banks from here on offered services such as mortgages, pension plans and insurance. Investment banks, traditionally offering corporate services like merger and acquisition advice, now operate in proprietary trading in wholesale markets. OECD reports that non interest income accounts for 40.7% of credit institutions income in 2003, up from 25.5% in 1984. All this change in how banks operate, fuelled by declining margins and self-regulation, has led to the us...
Unlike traditional banking institutions where members are just mere customers, credit unions are formed and owned by its members with the primary purpose of serving the members’ saving and borrowing needs (Fabozzi, 2015). This means that credit unions are not geared towards profit making objectives but are only supposed to be a means through which the members can obtain affordable and convenient financial services. As such, these institutions offer better services that corporate banks since the members needs are prioritized above anything else and their best interests pursued. Not being for-profit entities, members are able to derive additional benefits such as superior customer services and competitive rates due to tax-exemption. The end product is that with a credit union, the members obtain greater satisfaction than those who utilize traditional

High school seniors takes deep breaths and parade onto the stage. The beginning of a new chapter awaits as they make the journey from one point of the stage to the end.

How many equations, subjects, and dates did you memorize just before an exam never to use again? Today’s society is in a digital age where our youth and most of our older generations are swept up by technology. We are so swept up by the latest online games like Candy Crush, or GTA 5 that we don’t realize what is happening. We are being a part of a bigger issue. We are the banking concept. The banking concept can be described as what it is, banking. We accept the knowledge that is given to us but we don’t use it. The person depositing the knowledge is the one using the information when needed. Put it into school: the professors teach the student but the student does not use that information until the professor asks for the information later for a quiz or a
The invention of money was a major improvement in peoples’ lives. In the past, people usually had to travel all day to find the person who is willing to exchange their goods. In addition, the goods people want to exchange did not have the standard value of measurement. This led to unequal exchanges. Furthermore, it is not convenient to carry heavy goods from one place to another for an exchange. To solve these issues, money will be the only solution. Later, people tend to develop money from cowry shells to credit cards for the convenience and to improve their society.
