The book discusses about the methods and approaches used by banks in granting credits to their customers. The material covers the various types of lending and the processes involved in detail. It goes beyond the normal classroom rhetoric as it adopts a practical approach similar to having a hands-on-experience in lending. It is an ideal material for students of finance who need to understand the core rudiments for financial activities and to succeed in professional examinations. It is also useful for bank staff and researchers in the subject area to keep abreast of the banking procedure. I strongly recommend the material for finance students and lecturers in the field.
The book is designed for undergraduates and professionals who needs to understand the rudiments of the practise of banking. The book focuses on the procedure for carrying out banking activities and elaborates these procedures on a departmental basis. It promises to be a guide for young professionals who desire to understand quickly the procedure within the system. It also helps the customers to understand the procedure that takes place within the system and what they should expect for each banking transaction. The book ends with a detailed procedure for inspection. It can be a guide for branch operatives to prepare ahead of their branch inspection and also as an insight into the possible areas into which the inspection team may wish to look. Conclusively, the book will be useful for students of banking, practioners and customers alike. It is an eye opener and a revealer of hitherto cloudy areas of banking practice.
One of the most important recent developments in financial markets is the institutionalization of saving associated with the growth of pension funds, life insurance companies, and mutual funds. An increasing proportion of household saving is now managed by professional portfolio managers instead of being directly invested in the securities markets or held in the form of bank deposits. With the aging of the population and its adverse impact on public pension systems, the shift of individual savings to institutional investors is likely to become even more marked in the coming years. This book provides a comprehensive economic assessment of institutional investment. It charts the development and performance of the asset management industry and analyzes the implications of rising institutionalized saving for the development of the securities trading industry, the financial sector as a whole, and the wider economy. The book draws extensively on international experience, particularly in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan.

The next chapter deals with promoting banking services, and the last chapter tackles the Institute of Bankers. The book will be of great interest to the undergraduate students of accountancy, business administration, and management.

'Filled with fresh observations from the global financial crisis, this book provides a blueprint for making Asia's financial systems safe. With contributions from experts in several countries, it is both comprehensive and rigorous. It will be invaluable to policy makers and students of finance everywhere, but its unique Asian perspective provides special insight into the systems that managed to ride out the global crisis but absent further reform might set the stage for another one. The book's analysis and recommendations deserve urgent policy attention.' Peter Petri, Brandeis University, US 'What are the lessons of the global financial crisis of 20072009 for Asia?

The Basel III international regulatory framework, which was produced in 2010 by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision at the Bank for International Settlements, is the latest in a series of evolving agreements among central banks and bank supervisory authorities to standardize bank capital requirements, among other measures. Capital serves as a cushion against unanticipated financial shocks, which can otherwise lead to insolvency. The Basel III regulatory reform package revises the definition of regulatory capital and increases capital holding requirements for banking organizations. This book summarizes the higher capital requirements for U.S. banks regulated for safety and soundness. It examines how the U.S. Basel III regulations may affect U.S. banks, including smaller ones; and implementation of Basel III by different countries and other jurisdictions may affect U.S. banking organizations' international competitiveness.
