Principles of Bank Regulation, 3d (Concise Hornbook)

Examines depository institution regulation, and how federal statutes governing banking have been subject to constant amendment in recent years, especially since the meltdown of the mortgage market and the worldwide crisis that followed. Discusses the growing overlap in competition among depository institutions, insurance companies, and securities firms that has further complicated regulatory policy. Also discussed: the regulated environment of banking, entry rules, branching, control transactions, transactional rules, holding company activities, securities regulation, resolution of institution failures, international banking, and bank regulation and social policy.
