The Role Of The Black Market In China's International Financial System, Amy E. Yates
The Role Of The Black Market In China's International Financial System, Amy E. Yates
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The dichotomy between China's political theory and its administrative reality is nowhere more apparent than in the system China has developed to manage the inflow of foreign reserves into the country. In order to avoid disturbing the domestic economy, the government developed an elaborate two-tiered currency system. In addition, the government issued a set of Foreign Control Regulations which placed restrictions on the use of exchange. The regulations purported to place the use of foreign exchange under a "unified national plan." In reality, however, beyond the reaches of the officially promulgated regulations, a thriving black market for foreign currency, foreign …
The Conflict Between United States Securities Laws On Insider Trading And Swiss Bank Secrecy Laws, Ellen R. Levin
The Conflict Between United States Securities Laws On Insider Trading And Swiss Bank Secrecy Laws, Ellen R. Levin
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
In recent years the Swiss have grown defensive about the bad reputation their banks have earned for hiding so-called "dirty" money. A common perception is that through the protection of strict Swiss banking and commercial secrecy laws, Swiss numbered accounts hold the ill-gotten gains of organized crime, corrupt politicians, United States income tax evaders, and inside traders on United States securities markets. Both out of concern for preserving the integrity of what is regarded as Switzerland's most valuable asset -- its banking sector -- and in response to mounting criticism from abroad, Switzerland has agreed to help the United States …

Performance Bonds, Bankers' Guarantees, And The Mareva Injunction, Peter S. O'Driscoll
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In recent years, the amounts represented by these instruments have grown so large that banks have begun to syndicate them in order to limit the exposure of any one bank. With so much at stake, it is imperative that traders, bankers, and lawyers understand the legal implications of performance bonds and bankers' guarantee agreements and the treatment of such agreements by the courts. This Comment will address some of the problems associated with …
Perspectives On Foreign Banking In The United States, Henry C. Wallich
Perspectives On Foreign Banking In The United States, Henry C. Wallich
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Foreign banking has had a great expansion in the United States. This evolution has been accompanied by a variety of questions and concerns on the part of the public, American legislators and regulators, and American bankers. Many of these concrns have been allayed by the passage of the International Banking Act. Some nevertheless remain. To evalute them, I will begin by setting forth the benefits that foreign banks have brought to the United States. Then I will take a look at the principles that have guided and, I believe, should continue to guide United States' policy in this regard.

Exports, Banking And Antitrust: The Export Trading Company Act - A Modest Tool For Export Promotion, George E. Garvey
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
There is an almost universally held perceptoin that expanded export trade is essential to a robust United States economy. President Carter, for example, stated in a report to Congress that export expansion is critical to the health of our economy. Huge balance of payments deficits in recent years, the increasingly successfuly and visible penetration of United States markets by foreign producers, and substantial unemployment in basic industry have all fuedl this concern. These conditions have led naturally to a two-pronged response by the public and members of Congress: first, the call for greater protection against foreign competition; and second, a …

The general history of the international banking legislation and positions supporting and opposing the regulation of interstate branching will be discussed. Thereafter, the elements of the Stevenson compromise will be explained and their efficacy illustrated. Finally, the current and potential effects of …
