Bank Management and Supervision in Developing Financial Markets

WILBERT O. BASCOM

'This book will be mandatory reading for managers in developing economies. It provides the set of tools and guidelines necessary to deal with credit, interest rate and foreign exchange risks in markets where hedging and risk transfer products are not well developed. The coverage of funding and product pricing strategies is particularly relevant.' - Lloyd P. Blenman, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Finance, University of Mississippi 'If policy makers, practitioners and academics are wondering where to start, or if they have already started, how to proceed in becoming better informed about the intricacies of managing, regulating and supervising financial institutions in developing financial markets. I recommend without any reservation Dr Bascom's Bank Management and Supervision in Developing Financial Markets.' - Leonard R. Whyte, Chief Financial Officer, Banco Do Brasil S.A. 'This book should be on the desk of management of every commercial bank in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, India, Latin America, and other regions with developing or emerging financial markets.' - Burton A. Landy
