In addition and as a complement to re regulation, we need a comprehensive systemic risk monitor.

But, prior to both Japan s nuclear crisis and the financial crisis, regulators were unable to prevent the risk.

Tailor made derivatives would have to be registered individually, with regulators obliged to understand the risks involved.

The accelerating speed of innovation seems to be outstripping government regulators capacity to deal with risks, much less anticipate them.

Some of the ideas discussed during the consultations include suggestions for mechanisms to mitigate regulatory risk to increase the role of the World Bank and regional development banks in risk mitigation through increasing the leverage for their guarantees and to strengthen local currency lending.

Now financial risks are deemed to be sufficiently important for macroeconomic management to warrant regulatory arrangements going beyond that of the microprudential supervisor.

The lesson for regulators is simple capacity for risk is related to the maturity of funding, not to what an institution is called.

Regulators, recognizing the risks of allowing financial deglobalization to accelerate, have been seeking better means of handling the failure of huge global banks.

It will be the task of regulators to understand derivatives and synthetic securities, and to refuse to allow their creation if they cannot fully evaluate the systemic risks.

UNEP has provided training to an estimated 1,500 people from 140 countries in areas such as risk assessment, public participation, regulatory regimes and administrative systems.

Second, there are policy failures, which occur when undisciplined macroeconomic policies and inconsistent or ineffective financial regulatory policies heighten the risks associated with volatile capital flows.

The reliance of modern banking regulation on risk weighting is nowhere more important than in the mortgage market. If regulators get it wrong, the entire edifice could collapse yet again.

In other words, the banks can change how they calculate risk for example, by tweaking their own models in ways that will make them look better as far as regulators are concerned.

Instead, regulators must take forceful steps to unwind zombie banks and compel viable banks to rely more on equity markets, where risk is traded and priced, to become stronger.

The role of politics is to elect majorities that can abolish regulations and regulatory bodies.

But that doesn t deal with global imbalances and other contributors to and signs of instability. In addition and as a complement to re regulation, we need a comprehensive systemic risk monitor.

In an April 2008 article in The Financial Times, he wrote, Bank loan officers, in my experience, know far more about the risks and workings of their counterparties than do bank regulators.
