Description

The Routledge Handbook of Banking and Finance in Asia brings together leading scholars, policy makers and practitioners to provide a comprehensive and cutting-edge guide to Asia’s financial institutions, markets and systems. 

Part I provides a country by country overview of banking and finance in East, Southeast and South Asia, including examples from China, Japan, Hong Kong, India and Singapore.

Part II contains thematic chapters, covering topics such as commercial banking, development banking, infrastructure finance, stock markets, insurance and sovereign wealth funds. It also includes examinations of banking regulation and supervision, and analyses of macroprudential regulation, capital flow management measures, and monetary policy. Finally, it provides new insights into topical issues such as SME, green and Islamic finance.

This handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students of Asian economics and finance and for professionals working in financial markets in Asia.
