Crisis Regulation by Financial Intermediaries

The work of financial intermediaries in different periods and, especially, over the past decades is under scrutiny not only by investors and lenders but also by regulators and governments. This is since compliance with business rules established by regulators and prudential requirements for financial market participants have long made it possible to quite successfully overcome the emerging market failures. This chapter is aimed at analysing and assessing the anti-crisis regulation of financial intermediaries’ work in modern conditions, new challenges and problems that will allow the institutions dealing with financial regulation and supervision to learn certain lessons. Particular attention is paid to theoretical and methodological problems of financial intermediation crises, their regulation and preventing systemic risks.
