It is claimed that the global financial crisis starting in 2007 was partially caused by poor regulation of the world financial system. A major problem with regulation of financial institutions is:
-
The variety of different national regulatory systems.
-
The Basel II Framework has been too effective.
-
Banks have provided regulators with too much information on their activities.
-
Regulators were well informed about the new financial products created by financial institutions.
Correct Answer
A. The variety of different national regulatory systems.Explanation
The correct answer is the variety of different national regulatory systems. This is because the global financial crisis was partially caused by poor regulation of the world financial system, and one of the major problems with regulation was the lack of consistency and coordination among different countries' regulatory systems. This allowed for regulatory arbitrage, where financial institutions could exploit loopholes and differences in regulations across different jurisdictions to engage in risky behavior. This lack of harmonization and coordination among regulatory systems made it difficult to effectively monitor and regulate financial institutions on a global scale.Rate this question:

Which of the following are likely to lead to international financial crises?
-
International business
-
Exchange rate profit and large international long-term lending.
-
Waves of over lending and over borrowing.
-
High rate of oil price
Correct Answer
A. Waves of over lending and over borrowing.Explanation
Waves of over lending and over borrowing are likely to lead to international financial crises because they create a situation where there is excessive debt in the economy. When lenders provide too much credit and borrowers take on more debt than they can handle, it creates a bubble that eventually bursts, leading to financial instability. This can result in defaults, bankruptcies, and a collapse of the financial system, causing a ripple effect across countries and leading to a global financial crisis.Rate this question:
