Risk Exposure And Management In Cross-Border Banking., Sheriffdeen A. Tella
Risk Exposure And Management In Cross-Border Banking., Sheriffdeen A. Tella
Economic and Financial Review
The title of this paper connotes the fact that risk-based supervision and inflation targeting are mutually inclusive policies that have to be carried out simultaneously. This is not true. The two frameworks can be adopted at the same time but they do not need to go pari passu. To that extent the paper can be regarded as two-in-one. In this connection, the two frameworks are treated separately but within the context of a single paper. We looked at their challenges and prospects in monetary policy formulation and implementation in the Nigerian economy. The rest of this paper is divided into …

The Imperatives Of Developing Risk Management Framework For Individual Risk Elements In Nigerian Banks., Emmanuel M. Abolo
Economic and Financial Review
This paper states that for a bank to be successful over the long term, it has to effectively manage its opportunities, threats and uncertainties. The point of risk management is not to eliminate it. That would eliminate reward. The point is to manage it. That is, choose where to place bets and where to avoid betting altogether.

How Relevant Is Risk-Based Supervision For Pension Funds: The Regulators Perspective., Musa A. Ibrahim
Economic and Financial Review
Over the past two decades, privately managed pension systems have expanded greatly to play a central role in the provision of retirement income worldwide. The design and operation of these systems vary extensively, but the basic reason for their adoption remains unique across the board: countries need to provide affordable and sustainable income for their retired citizens. Achieving this objective becomes a challenging task in the face of the uncertainties created by globalization and rapid integration of financial markets. The utilization of risk-based methods originates primarily in the supervision of banks. In recent years, it has increasingly been extended to …

The Challenges Of Good Corporate Governance For Effective Risk-Based Banking Supervision., Chris C. Itsede
The Challenges Of Good Corporate Governance For Effective Risk-Based Banking Supervision., Chris C. Itsede
Economic and Financial Review
Corporate governance has changed tremendously over the past two decades. These changes have been driven by new laws, regulations, guidelines and rising investor and public expectations. In the past, many boards were under the thumb of their chief executive officers (CEOs); this is no longer the case. Today, boards generally strive to govern their companies by benchmarking a set of best practices which have emerged and codified in corporate governance laws, stock exchange listing rules and company annual reports. Many individual directors are willing to accept these additional responsibilities. In this paper, the importance and principles of Corporate Governance is …

Asset Price Movement And Derivatives: Implications For Risk-Based Supervision And Effective Monetary Policy., Biodun Adedipe
Economic and Financial Review
The consideration of asset price movements and monetary policy has attracted a lot of attention in the last few decades, as asset prices moved upwards significantly and there arose the general perception that there are bubbles in those prices. The argument revolves around the role that monetary policy can play in this whether it can be used to prick the bubble before it is due for natural burst, or it can be designed and implemented in such manner as to prevent bubbles to grow in the first place.

Nigerian Stock Market Reflection Of The Global Finance Crisis: An Evaluation, Sere- Ejembi A. A.
Bullion
With its roots in banking, the sub-prime mortgage crisis that commenced in the United States in 2007 soon resonated in other sectors of its financial system, and the economy, at large. It spread quickly to the developed economies in Europe, including the United Kingdom, and Asia. In the case of the Nigerian stock market, following initial relative insulation, the speed of contagion and response was comparatively slower. However, the effects began to manifest in the first quarter of 2008. The objective of this paper, therefore, is to review the global financial crisis, in the context of its recent effects on …

Central Bank Communication And Monetary Policy: The Case Of Central Bank Of Nigeria, Egbuna N. E.
Bullion
The importance of concise communication in monetary policy making cannot be over emphasised . A g o o d communication of policy definitely strengthens the institutional independence of central banks and enhances the effectiveness of monetary policy. However, no one single method could fit all when it comes to designing good communication strategies because central banks face different constraints as they try to fine-tune their messages. With current reforms and financial liberalization, there is added impetus for increased communication between the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), market operators, stakeholders and the public in general. Monetary policy needs to be explained …

Investing Africa's External Reserves In Africa: Issues, Challenges And Prospects, Onwioduokit A. E.
Bullion
The paper underlined the challenges and opportunities for managing Africa's external reserves by Africans after identifying several pre-conditions for an African currency to emerge as international currency and noted that these conditions have not yet crystallized in Africa. Although African external reserves have grown over time the benefits of such growth in terms of facilitation of domestic financial markets and even the earning are not commensurate with the reserves growth rate. The non-convertibility of African currencies, volatile macroeconomic and sometimes volatile political environment coupled with the shallowness of the domestic markets are the main challenges that are faced by the …

Supervising Cross-Border Banks: Matters Arising., Kim Norris
Economic and Financial Review
An essential element of banking supervision is that supervisors supervise their banking groups on a consolidated basis, adequately monitoring and, as appropriate, applying prudential norms to all aspects of the business conducted by each group worldwide. This paper examines supervision of banking groups on a consolidated basis which goes beyond accounting consolidation. It simply implies that there is a group-wide approach to supervision whereby all risks taken on by each banking group are taken into account wherever they are booked (i.e. in the bank or in a subsidiary; in Nigeria or elsewhere).

The persistent effect of fiscal balances on the volume of bank reverses in the short run shows that consideration of government activities remains important in developments in the financial sector. Findings from the study revealed that the system adjusts itself to equilibrium within three quarters in the event of a shock. …
