    This paper argues for a transformation of finance to support the economic and social transformation of the Middle East and North Africa. The paper first documents the existing financial system in the region. The system is heavily skewed toward banking, relative to non-banking services, such as stock and corporate bond markets, with significant heterogeneity across countries. Second, the paper discusses the stance of macroeconomic policy in the region, which has had important implications for the destination, profitability, and quality of bank lending and the limited evolution of the financial system. Third, the paper explores the impact of technology on financial development, with particular attention to prospects for the development of fintechs. Entrenched incumbency of banks has limited the role of non-bank operators in fostering market contestability and fintech development. The paper is a call to the authorities and policy makers in the Middle East and North Africa to break with the status quo and business as usual. It underscores the need for a "moonshot approach" focused on establishing the foundations of a new digital economy and its role in promoting a well-functioning and inclusive financial economy to support the development needs of the region

    China’s economy has become larger and more interconnected with the rest of the world, thus raising the possibility that acute financial stress in China may lead to global financial instability. This paper analyzes the potential spillovers of such an event to the rest of the world with three methodologies: a VAR, an event study, and a DSGE model. We find the sentiment channel to be the primary spillover channel to the United States, affecting global risk aversion and asset prices such as equity prices and the dollar, in addition to modest real effects through the trade channel. In comparison, the combined financial and real effects to other advanced and emerging market economies, especially net commodity exporters, would be more consequential due to their larger direct exposure to China and more limited scope of monetary policy to respond to shocks

    Should we blame the euro for widening of current account deficits in the EMU? In this paper, we employ time-specific fixed effect estimator to study determinants of the current account deficits of the EU countries before and after adoption of the euro. Our aim is to assess to what extent the increased current account deficits could be attributed to the single currency and to the role of other variables, especially fiscal policy and developments of financial sector. We show that euro had negative effect on current account balances of southern countries. Moreover, we provide evidence that the role of fiscal policy in current account dynamics changed with euro adoption and twin deficits emerged in many countries. Finally, we document significant role of growing credits to private sector for built-up of persistent current account deficits, hence the negative effects of excessive lending on external balance should be addressed by the regulators and policy makers in the future.

    This paper provides an overview of conceptual issues and recent research findings concerning the structure and the role of financial systems and an introduction into the new research area of comparative financial systems. The authors start by pointing out the importance of financial systems in general and then sketch different ways of describing and analysing national financial systems. They advocate using what they call a "systemic approach". This approach focuses on the fit between the various elements that constitute any financial system as a major determinant of how well a given financial system performs its functions. In its second part the paper discusses recent research concerning the relationships between financial sector development and general economic growth and development. The third part is dedicated to comparative financial systems. It first analyses the similarities and, more importantly, the differences of the financial systems of major industrialised countries and points out that these differences seem to remain in existence in spite of the current wave of liberalisation, deregulation and globalisation. This leads to the concluding discussion of what the systemic approach suggests with respect to the question of whether the financial systems of different countries are likely to converge to a common structure.

    This paper examines the relationship between changes in the financial sector and the increasing inequality in Germany. For this, first an overview about the development of the main inequality indicators for Germany is given, which show inequality has been rising since the 1980s. Thereafter, the main features of the German financial system and its main changes in the last decades are reviewed. It is also looked at employment and incomes in the financial sector to determine, whether exorbitant growth of the financial sector, as observed in other countries, could be responsible for the increasing inequality. Thereafter, the relation of the financial sector with the non-financial sector is examined. First, a look at the financing structure of non-financial firms is taken. Subsequently, it is studied how changed behaviour in the financial sector may have led to increased inequality. It is argued that a multitude of factors including the retreat of the big banks from the German Inc., the changes in securities market regulation, the occurrence of new types of financial investors have all changed the corporate governance system in a way that made it more conducive to inequality. Then, the most important regulatory reforms and reform proposals for the financial sector are outlined. In the last section of the paper the main results are summarised and some general conclusions are drawn.

    This paper is a draft for the chapter German banks and banking structure of the forthcoming book The German financial system edited by J.P. Krahnen and R.H. Schmidt (Oxford University Press). As such, the paper starts out with a description of past and present structural features of the German banking industry. Given the presented empirical evidence it then ar-gues that great care has to be taken when generalising structural trends from one financial system to another. Whilst conventional commercial banking is clearly in decline in the US, it is far from clear whether the dominance of banks in the German financial system has been significantly eroded over the last decades. We interpret the immense stability in intermediation ratios and financing patterns of firms between 1970 and 2000 as strong evidence for our view that the way in which and the extent to which German banks fulfil the central functions for the financial system are still consistent with the overall logic of the German financial system. In spite of the current dire business environment for financial intermediaries we do not expect the German financial system and its banking industry as an integral part of this system to converge to the institutional arrangements typical for a market-oriented financial system.

    Germany entered the euro with a current account deficit but over theentire past decade has run large and persistent current account surpluses. Besides joining the common currency, the increase of Germany's current account since the late 1990s has been accompanied by strong shifts in thepersonal and, in particular, the functional income distribution. In this paper, we argue that income inequality should always be analyzed with respect to both the personal and the functional distribution of income. We present a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model in which a current account surplus arises as an endogenous result of a decrease in the share of household income in national income. On the one hand, this result complements existing literature where current account deficits result from rising personal income inequality. On the other hand, we find that current account imbalances will be more pronounced when accompanied by changes in the financial system. Accordingly, if we link Germany's accession to the European monetary union to lower exchange rate costs for German banklending, the current account surplus becomes larger. Als Deutschland dem Eurosystem beitrat, zeigte die Leistungsbilanz ein Defizit. Seit über einer Dekade jedoch hat die deutsche Volkwirtschaft hohe und persistente Leistungsüberschüsse erzielt. Neben den üblicherweise in der Literatur diskutierten Ursachen wurde die Verbesserung der deutschen Leistungsbilanz von starken Veränderungen in der personellen und noch deutlicher in der funktionalen Einkommensverteilung begleitet. In diesem Papier argumentieren wir, dass Veränderungen der Einkommensverteilung daher immer vor dem Hintergrund beider Bezugsgrößen diskutiert werden sollten. In diesem Zusammenhang entwickeln wir ein dynamisches stochastisches allgemeines Gleichgewichtsmodell (DSGE), in dem sich Leistungsbilanzüberschüsse als endogenes Resultat einer Veränderung des Anteils der Haushaltseinkommen am Nationaleinkommen ergeben. Einerseits vervollständigt dieses Resultat die vorhandene Literatur, in der Leistungsbilanzdefizite als Folge zunehmender personeller Einkommensungleichheit auftreten. Andererseits bestätigt sich, dass Leistungsbilanzungleichgewichte deutlich ausgeprägter auftreten, wenn sie mit Veränderungen des Finanzsystems einhergehen. Dementsprechend ergibt sich ein deutlich ausgeprägter Leistungsbilanzüberschuss, wenn wir Deutschlands Beitritt zur Währungsunion mit geringeren Wechselkursrisiken für die Kreditvergabe deutscher Banken verbinden.
