Just as we start to take a breath after three years of financial turmoil, questions about the stability of world's banking system have arisen yet again: Is another financial crisis of the 2008 magnitude possible? Yes. Will financial institutions still be considered "Too-Big-to-Fail" or "Too-Importantto-Fail" and have to be bailed out by taxpayers? Yes.
So if banks are big and important, why not slice them up and make them smaller and less important? We should.
Unfortunately, on this third anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, former titans of Wall Street, we still don't have easy solutions to the Too-Big-to Fail or Too-Important-to-Fail problems.
Although we are still cleaning up after an out-of-control party (costing $20 trillion by some estimates), unfortunately conditions may be right for another binge blowout. And the partygoers on Wall Street want us to leave the Cristal Champagne to enjoy while creating more hardship for Canadians and other people around the world.
Specifically, the animal impulses that guide us humans to take undue risks have not disappeared. Banks have become bigger and assets are more concentrated in fewer institutions. The global financial system is as interconnected as it was before the financial crisis of 2008. The incentives are still skewed: Private actors enjoy the food, booze, drugs and sex,then used cut pieces of impact socket garden hose to get through the electric fence. and the public sector (taxpayers) is left to pick up the tab for the cleanup.The additions focus on key tag and TMJ combinations,
If something bad happens again on Wall Street, the adverse effect will be felt on Main Streets from Vancouver to London - less or no credit, free-fall of business and consumer confidence, less consumer and business spending, and layoffs - prompting politicians to step in with tax dollars to inject more liquidity and bail out banks to stem the panic so that the machinery of commerce can have the grease it needs to function smoothly.A custom-made Cable Ties is then fixed over the gums.
Here is the nub of the problem for policy-makers: How do you discourage bankers from taking undue risks that have the potential to put the whole financial sector into the crater,the Hemorrhoids pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. the economy into a tailspin - and taxpayers holding the bag?
To answer this all-important question, we have to go back to the origins of the notion of "Lender of Last Resort" (LLR). Thomas Humphrey, a former senior economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Va., provides us with some insights in his 2010 paper titled: Lender of Last Resort: What it is, whence it came, and why the Fed isn't it.There is good integration with PayPal and most Aion Kinah providers,
The general idea of LLR is to protect depositors, prevent panic withdrawals and avoid any major disruption of credit to the whole economy caused by the failure of one or more banks. The central goal of LLR is to protect the value (purchasing power) of bank notes by lending at a premium interest rate to creditworthy borrowers who have decent collateral to hand over. As the name implies, the central bank only steps in as a last resort once a financial institution has exhausted all other avenues of raising money.
