First published in 1998, this volume focuses on the relationship between trade policy and economic growth, one of the most controversial questions in the emerging paradigm on "international trade and economic development". Authored by a senior monetary expert and a senior lecturer in finance, the question is explored through institutional and policy issues with examples from a sample of ten African countries, with special reference to Malawi and Zambia. Asking which trade regime is appropriate for promoting economic growth in developing countries, the book concludes by discussing the appropriate strategy for African countries.

With contributions from distinguished researchers, this book covers the main analytical and empirical issues in financial inclusion and its role in economic development. Chapters present a wide range of case studies illustrating topics such as mobile money, financial liberalization and bank efficiency, as well as highlighting the costs associated with financial exclusion and the various policy and regulatory measures that have been applied to lower the barriers to inclusion.

Offering a comprehensive exploration of financial inclusion and its impediments, this important book will be welcomed by students, researchers and policy makers interested in economic development and financial regulation.

The Handbook is the first of its kind in the area of international banking with contributions from leading specialists in their respective fields, often with remarkable experience in academia or professional practice. The material is provided mainly in the form of self-contained surveys, which trace the main developments in a well-defined topic, together with specific references to journal articles and working papers. Some contributions, however, disseminate new empirical findings especially where competing paradigms are evaluated.

The Handbook is divided into four areas of interest. The first deals with the globalization of banking and continues on to banking structures and functions. The authors then focus on banking risks, crises and regulation and finally the evolving international financial architecture.

Designed to serve as a source of supplementary reading and inspiration, the Handbook is suited to a range of courses in banking and finance including post-experience and in-house programmes for bankers and other financial services practitioners. This outstanding volume will become essential reference for policymakers, financial practitioners as well as academics and researchers in the field.<

This handbook presents a wide-ranging and thorough overview of research topics and policy considerations in the field of development finance. The handbook brings together international contributions from both practitioners and academics to provide global, regional and national perspectives.

Chapters are devoted to global contexts for development finance (including the Sustainable Development Goals framework); development financial planning in country-specific settings; domestic resource mobilization for economic development; external sources of finance including aid, foreign direct investment, remittances and illicit financial flows; innovative methods in development finance such as socially-responsible investment and faith-based finance; and mechanisms for blending public and private funding sources to support and sustain large infrastructure. The evolving area of climate finance, disaster risk reduction schemes, the role of FinTech in financial development, and rural credit markets are also discussed. The handbook also offers tools for the measurement of development finance impact on variables such as financial inclusion, sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction.
