Recommended Sites
Bank
for International Settlements site contains some very
useful resources. The Publications
section provides the full text of many working papers and
documents from various committees of the BIS including the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The site also includes
full-text articles from the BIS
Review (back to 1997) and a frequently-updated list of
links to central banks.
Financial
Sector - World Bank Group makes a wide range of information
on banking and related topics available on its web site. The
section on Banking Systems contains many full-text publications
and reports from the World Bank, as well as a collection of
links. The site and the indidual sections are searchable.
Global
Banking Law Database (GBLD) is a joint project of the
World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The GBLD consists
of a collection of English translations of commercial banking,
central bank, and deposit insurance laws of 17 jurisdictions.
The laws may be viewed in HTML and downloaded both MS Word
and PDF (Adobe Acrobat) formats. The GBLD is organized by
topic and by jurisdiction. The list of 35 topics is based
on the Basel Core Principles. It is possible to view the laws
of two jurisdictions side by side on the same screen.
Hieros
Gamos Guide to Banking Law includes banking news, links
to international organizations, some foreign banking laws,
United States banking laws, and links to other Internet resources.
Institute
of International Bankers site is worth visiting mainly
for its annual Global Survey of Regulatory and Market Developments
in banking, securities and insurance covering 46 countries
and the EU.
Mark
Bernkopf's Central Banking Resource Center is a good place
to find links and contact information for central banks and
ministries of finance. At the current time (November 2000)
however, the rest of the site contains many out of date resources
and dead links. The home page indicates that a new site is
in the works however, so it is worth checking back from time
to time.
