Description:

Beginning with a brief overview of the importance of bank regulation and supervision for prudent international lending by commercial banks and long-term resolution of the LDC debt crisis, this analysis proceeds to a comparison of selected bank regulatory and supervisory practices in several major creditor countries. It then turns to questions of appropriate reforms in domestic bank regulation and improved regulatory coordination among the major creditor countries as well as a greater role for international supervisory agencies.
