    This essay will argue that the 2008 financial crisis has brought to the forefront of global political consideration what some economists have known for some time. This is that 1) The global financial system is inherently flawed and cyclical recessions are a product of its nature 2) The interconnectedness of the global financial system means macro-management cannot fully buffer an economy against these cyclical recessions 3) Policy has reduced effectiveness in this interconnected world 4) Globally co-ordinated regulation and co-operation in preventing and managing crises is an imperative 5) Although less effective, macro-management can still have a role in terms of preventing, and managing future crises.…

    Introduction This essay explains the pitfalls associated with derivatives instruments by making reference to the 2007 Global Financial Crisis. Derivatives are financial securities that are linked to a specific instrument or indicator or commodities called underlying instruments (Hull, 2009). There are as many derivatives as they are underlying instruments. Derivatives are essentially financial contracts which are entered into between two parties with respect to some other underlying instruments. Since they are contracts entered into with respect to underlying assets they do not have value on their own standing but derive it from that of instruments upon which they are entered into. According to the IMF (2010), even though it’s true that derivatives are linked to the value of underlying instruments, transactions in derivatives are separate transactions from those of underlying instruments upon which derivatives are based. This means that derivatives are financial securities with own roles, advantages and disadvantages which are distinct from those of underlying instruments.…

    With Basel II now being rolled out globally, there is increasing interest among both originators and investors in how this new capital regime affects structured finance. Given that bank capital considerations have historically influenced origination, structuring and investment decisions, understanding the mechanics of Basel II and its impact on capital requirements is important to understanding the future scope and shape of securitisation activity. More immediately, recent ratings volatility within some sectors of structured finance has sparked renewed interest in this topic among originators, investors and regulators. This report provides both (1) a review of the various Basel II approaches for calculating capital charges on securitisation exposures; and (2) analysis of the potential capital dynamics for a sample of securitisation transactions. The capital analysis covers residential mortgage‐backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage‐backed securities (CMBS); credit card asset‐backed securities (ABS); and collateralised debt obligations (CDO) of corporate assets. The Basel II capital charges on the underlying pool of collateral assets is analysed relative to the total charges on the securitisation of these same assets, a methodology first used in Fitch’s 2005 report, “Basel II: Bottom‐Line Impact on Securitisation Markets”. There are several findings of note from this study. · A primary goal of Basel II is to neutralise regulatory capital arbitrage, such that a bank’s decision to securitise a given pool of assets is based on economic rather than regulatory motivations. By aligning capital charges more closely with economic risk, Basel II aims to mitigate the Basel I arbitrage of securitising high quality assets and retaining subordinate tranches. Basel II’s impact on securitisation capital charges ultimately depend on a complex…
