A history of libraries in Jamaica: 1697-1987

REA Auditado

The History traces the development of libraries in Jamaica
from the late seventeenth century to the present day. It examines
reasons for the spate of anti-popery material in the earliest
collections, and treats the subsequent story within the context
of socio-economic conditions. Note is taken of the efforts of
Ministers of Religion to inculcate the habit of reading among
both the white and black population, as a means of improving
their minds and strengthening their moral fibre.

Optimal bank regulation and risk management for Indonesia

REA Auditado

This research has studied bank risk management in relation to efficient bank regulation
in the form of optimal bank financial reorganization. Efficient banking regulation can be
achieved only if it includes closure policies which prevent moral hazard behaviour; in
turn, they should enhance bank regulators' accountability. Yet, Basel II gives more
discretion to domestic banking authorities and focuses more on the implementation of
best practices of risk management.

The impact of the market risk of capital regulations on bank activities

REA Auditado

Banking has a unique role in the well-being of an economy. This role makes banks
one of the most heavily regulated and supervised industries. In order to strengthen
the soundness and stability of banking systems, regulators require banks to hold
adequate capital. While credit risk was the only risk that was covered by the original
Basle Accord, with the 1996 amendment, banks have also been required to assign
capital for their market risk starting from 1998.
In this research, the impact of the market risk capital regulations on bank capital
levels and derivative activities is investigated.
