14 Oct 2010

London, UK

Overview

On 14 October 2010 in London, the ICFR held a conference entitled: “The New Global Banking Regulations and the Cost of Intermediation”. The aim of the conference was to present and discuss three to six academic papers followed by a broader panel discussion around those papers and other issues related to the conference theme. This conference served as a platform for the latest research on the impact of the major banking regulatory changes, and in particular how they will affect both the cost and availability of credit as well as business models.

Purpose

While there is consensus about the need for a new tighter regulatory regime being introduced under the auspices of the G20, there is considerable uncertainty about how the new regulations on capital and liquidity will impact on the banking industry and its customer base. There is, therefore, a demand for considered academic analysis of these timely issues.

This conference, organised by the ICFR and members of its academic panel, was a platform for the latest research on the impact of these major regulatory changes, and in particular about how they will affect both the industry and the cost and availability of credit. During our call for papers, we invited submissions on (but not necessarily limited to) the following topics:

• Cost of capital for banks, with and without government guarantees
• Quantifying the impact of the new regulations on the cost and availability of bank credit
• Estimating “varying” costs of capital for a banking institution (varying with leverage, exposure etc)
• Understanding the private costs (e.g., taxes, ROE vs. ROA based compensation) and the social costs (e.g., lower market discipline) of bank capital
• Costs of winding down/resolution plans
• Conglomerates – regulation and financing (internal markets of bank holding companies)
• Aggregate bank capital management: relationship between regulatory bank capital and actual bank capital – link to asset liability and dividends

Audience

The international audience comprised market participants, regulators, policy makers, academics and industry associations.
