Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Secured Transactions Reform and Access to Credit
Book SynopsisSecured transactions reform, also known as collateral or pledge law reform, is increasingly seen as an important building block for economic development. The commonly held view is that the availability and cost of credit, as well as the efficiency of the market for secured credit, are directly influenced by the laws affecting secured transactions and their implementation. However, there is still a lot of confusion about this relatively complex and technical area of the law and its role in promoting access to credit and economic growth. The chapters presented here provide, for the first time, a comprehensive and cutting-edge view of the subject - from both a legal and economic perspective. They start at the macro level of financial systems, moving towards the behaviours of lenders (commercial banks and micro-lenders), policy options for government and the mechanisms of collateral law reform. By approaching the subject from different angles and experiences, the work advocates an inclusive approach to the subject where all stakeholders' interests can be taken into account. It addresses the question of what role laws and institutions can play to encourage access to credit. This book will be of primary interest to those involved in economic development and the interaction between law and economics, either for practical reasons (for example, working on reform or providing advice on investment in transition economies) or for research purposes.Trade Review'The book is unique. . . It brings together articles on the economics and the law of property rights, and combines these with case studies, observations of what works and what does not, and a checklist of things to watch for. . . This is a very useful book that should appeal to reformers working in the field, whether they are governmental officials trying to modernize their economies, or economists and lawyers working in developmental agencies. . . There are few other books or publications that bring together the views of experts working in this important, albeit somewhat neglected, are of financial sector plumbing.' -- William P. Armstrong, Banking and Finance Law Review'. . . a well-presented collection of interesting papers within which one finds a rich resource of information and perspectives on secured transactions reform from parts of the world which are often overlooked in comparative commercial law scholarship.' -- Noel McGrath, Journal of Business Law'. . . with its insightful analysis, interesting empirical studies and knowledgeable team of contributors, the book will be illuminating and useful not just for those interested in development, but also anyone who has anything to do with granting credit and taking security.' -- Dora S. Neo, Singapore Journal of Legal Studies'This is an excellent, unique book. The material is very well written and presented in a carefully thought-out, coherent way. It tells us a legal story of our own, unique time. Any lawyer working in transition economies, whether or not directly on reform projects, would find it of great interest. Even economists should perhaps take a look at it!' -- Roger McCormick, Law and Financial Markets ReviewTable of ContentsContents: Foreword PART I: ACCESS TO CREDIT AND SECURED TRANSACTIONS IN A GLOBAL WORLD 1.

And the growth potential has not likely been exhausted, because consumers continue to opt for cards, instead of cash and check, in virtually every part of the world, both emerging markets and developed economies alike. At the same time, however, the cards business has found itself increasingly wrapped in controversy, especially as merchants have taken issue with rising cost. For a large, growing, and controversial industry, Slawsky and Zafar's new book provides a blueprint that explains how the business actually works and as such should interest a wide range of readers, including financial services executives and managers, as well as investors, regulators, and policy-makers.' Kenneth Posner, Morgan Stanley, NY, U.S.A 'Delivers an excellent topology of the business of payments. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the history and the future of payments. Its practical approach to cards makes it a valuable resource for people in the cards business and for those beginning their careers in cards. The authors’ insight on what constitutes an effective marketing strategy provides an excellent framework for card issuers to develop and execute strategies that will deliver results. A must-read'.
