Subject Overview: |
This subject is designed around two fundamental questions in relation to banking and finance in Asia: how finance is provided by banks in Asia and how banks can recover debt. These two questions in turn depend on a number of subsidiary questions, including how banks are governed and regulated, the relationship between banks and their customers and the impact of law and legal institutions. This subject provides students with insights into the legal frameworks in selected Asian jurisdictions governing banking regulation and insolvency and the chief forms of debt recovery mechanisms. It achieves this by looking at a number of case studies in selected Asian jurisdictions, including China, Singapore, Japan and Indonesia. With over 20 years of combined experience in Asia, both in practice and in research, the two lecturers have written and published extensively in this area. Principal topics will be selected from the following:
