Financial Services Regulators in the Middle East and Africa, Issue 1 - Middle East and Africa 2004 (Paperback)

Rapid growth in financial services regulation in many countries has led to demand for high quality data about agencies and institutions involved in national and international regulatory systems and explanation of the legal context in which they operate. This major new information service provides detailed, consistently presented information for nearly 1400 institutions globally. It is divided into four regional volumes, each published twice annually, covering organizations with regulatory responsibilities, whether primary or secondary, for the banking and financial services industry on both national and international levels. These include: statutory regulators for all financial services sectors; ministries of finance; central banks; self-regulatory organizations and other bodies which help maintain the integrity of financial markets such as stock exchanges, clearing houses, ombudsmen, compensation schemes, deposit insurers, corporate governance initiatives; and professional financial services associations setting mandatory standards for their members. Also included are international bodies that influence the financial services sector within their regions.
