Other emerging countries, like Peru, have tightened domestic prudential regulations with the same aim in mind.

It follows, then, that prudential regulation and competition policy in banking should be coordinated.

Prudential regulation discriminates on the basis of the transaction s currency of denomination or maturity, and that is good.

To understand the precise problem, you must dip into the latest details of the Prudential Regulatory Authority s capital shortfall exercise with eight major UK banks.

So much for the laughs. The tragedy in the PRA s exercise is British officials apparent belief that they are carrying out real reform, rather than setting the stage for serious trouble.

I won t pretend that the PRA s work is easy reading for a layperson but anyone who spends a little time with the documents will first laugh and then cry.

When dealing with surges of potentially destabilizing capital inflows, capital controls are a no no, but something called prudential regulation is quite okay.

And now the PRA has confirmed that the British authorities do not even have a firm grip on the basics of regulating capital that is, determining how much equity is safe for large complex global financial institutions.

With great fanfare (and generally favorable press coverage), the PRA announced that some banks do not have enough loss absorbing capital relative to target levels of equity that are ludicrously low.

And, in the PRA s presentation, this amounts to a leverage ratio of around 3 for most of these banks (again using Basel III definitions), though a couple of banks will need an additional adjustment to reach that level.

A similar change has been introduced in France, where a new Prudential Control Authority has been created.

Creating a common supervisory authority will mean nothing unless it can clean up the mess created by the existing supervisors.

Irresponsible risk taking and excessive greed outpaced prudential regulation and supervision.

Turkey s Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and other authorities have also adopted macro prudential measures.

The crisis has shattered the belief that well designed microprudential rules alone are sufficient.

IAEA is also assisting the nuclear regulatory authority of Ukraine in the regulatory process of decommissioning the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and in the development of an approach for characterizing and managing radioactive residual material resulting from investigating the status of the shelter and its reconstruction and or repair.

For example, Japan s nuclear regulatory authority was not sufficiently independent, and oversight of the plant operator, TEPCO, was weak.

Slovakia stated that the authority that would furnish copies of its relevant laws and regulations in accordance with the provision contained in article 13, paragraph 5, of the Convention was the Ministry of Justice.
