Publisher's Synopsis
Emerging markets are increasingly facing significant challenges, from a slowdown in productivity, rising debt, and trade tensions to the adverse effects of proliferating global uncertainty on domestic financial systems. This incisive Handbook examines the ongoing dynamics of global financial markets and institutions within the context of such rising uncertainty and provides a comprehensive overview of innovative models in banking and finance.
Chapters investigate the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on health and economic activities, as well as other global factors such as geopolitical shifts, digital transformation, and climate change. This expansive range of perspectives demonstrates how emerging market policymakers have been forced to rethink their banking and financial industries to spur sustainable and inclusive growth. Global in scope, the Handbook features contributions from more than 70 experts, offering key insights into new developments in banking and finance, and considering how emerging markets might overcome the pandemic, shape the new normal, and foster economic sustainability.
This ambitious Handbook will be an essential read for regulators and policy analysts who will benefit from its innovative perspectives on advancing governance of banking and finance sectors in emerging markets. Its exploration of forthcoming directions for research will be of special interest to academics and research scholars in related fields.
