Book excerpt: A practical guide to the evolving world of banking and financial institutions Due to various factors, ranging from the global financial crisis that began in 2007 to new laws such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, banks and financial institutions have had to alter the way they operate.

Book excerpt: (Updated edition - July 2023) English for Financial Institutions is an up-to-date textbook that will help readers master the terminology of financial English – and also improve their general English vocabulary. It can be used as a coursebook, a self-study book or reference source (lexicon). The book provides a comprehensive guide to the vocabulary crucial for understanding the financial system (financial institutions, markets and instruments; banking; money and payment; regulation and supervision), rather than narrow and often random selection of topics found in most other financial English books. Thanks to English for Financial Institutions, readers will be able to understand concepts that are often not well explained or hard to find in other publications. No other financial English textbook offers such a wide scope of subject matter, the depth and up-to-date relevance of presented material. It includes developments that have come to the spotlight in recent years, such as cryptocurrencies, mobile payments, the LIBOR scandal, quantitative easing, tax avoidance. English for Financial Institutions includes: - Texts presenting the topic - “Notes” with supplementary lexical or factual information; - “Direct Source Reading” – authentic texts published by public and private financial institutions, allowing readers to become familiar with language used by financial professionals - Different types of financial English and general English vocabulary exercises - Questions and discussion points for the classroom - A key to exercises

Book excerpt: The efficient operation of financial intermediaries--banks, insurance and pension fund firms, government agencies and so on--is instrumental for the efficient functioning of the financial system and the fueling of the economies of the twenty-first century. But what drives the performance of these institutions in today's global environment? In this volume, world-renowned scholars bring their expertise to bear on the issues. Primary among them are the definition and measurement of efficiency of a financial institution, benchmarks of efficiency, identification of the drivers of performance and measurement of their effects on efficiency, the impact of financial innovation and information technologies on performance, the effects of process design, human resource management policies, as well as others.

Book excerpt: The study of money, banking and financial markets is a required or very popular elective in most undergraduate and graduate programs in economics and finance in Africa. However, the textbooks used are those written primarily for the developed world such as the United States or the U.K. The result is that students graduate with excellent theoretical knowledge about the subject matter as it pertains to the developed economies, but lack the ability to apply the same knowledge to less developed economies. Although the subject matter of money and banking can be treated at a theoretical level, it is best done with institutions in mind. As an application oriented course, references and applications should, as much as possible, be to the conditions and institutions present in the environment where the subject is being studied and where the knowledge will be used, rather than to institutions that exist elsewhere in developed economies. The primary purpose of Essentials of Money, Banking and Financial Institutions is to provide a text in money, banking, and financial institutions in the context of the developing economies, especially Africa. Throughout the book, a deliberate effort will be made to focus the students’ attention on the need to develop the existing institutions so they can help to accelerate economic development.
