    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Making a Killing: The Cause of Misfire in Counter-Terrorist Financing Regulation A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Ian Oxnevad June 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John Cioffi, Chairperson Dr. Marissa Brookes Dr. Fariba Zarinebaf Copyright by Ian Oxnevad 2019 The Dissertation of Ian Oxnevad is approved: ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making a Killing: The Cause of Misfire in Counter-Terrorist Financing Regulation by Ian Oxnevad Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Political Science University of California, Riverside, June 2019 Dr. John Cioffi, Chairperson Financial regulations designed to counter the financing of terrorism have spread internationally over past several decades, but little is known about their effectiveness or why certain banks get penalized for financing terrorism while others do not. This research addresses this question and tests for the effects of institutional linkages between banks and states on the enforcement of these regulations. It is hypothesized here that a bank’s institutional link to its home state is necessary to block attempted enforcement. This research utilizes comparative studies of cases in which enforcement and penalization were attempted, and examines the role of institutional links between the bank and state in these outcomes. The case comparisons include five cases in all, with three comprising positive cases in which enforcement was blocked, and two in which penalty occurred. Combined, these cases control for rival variables such as rule of law, state capacity, iv authoritarianism, and membership of a country in a regulatory body while also testing for the impact of institutional linkage between a bank and its state in the country’s national political economy.

  • T.C. Ziraat Bankasi A.S
    T.C. ZIRAAT BANKASI A.S. 2013 US Resolution Plan Public Section December 2013 Introduction This is the public section of the plan for resolution (“Resolution Plan”) prepared by Ziraat Bank and required pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd- Frank Act") and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). The initial Resolution Plan of Ziraat Bank is due on December 31, 2013, with annual updates thereafter. The FDIC and the Federal Reserve have each, by rule and through the supervisory process, prescribed the assumptions, required approach and scope for these resolution plans, and have required that certain information be included in a public section of the resolution plans. This public section of Ziraat’s Resolution Plan adheres to these requirements. Ziraat Bank is defined as a "covered company" under the applicable rules because it is treated as a bank holding company and is supervised by the Federal Reserve and has consolidated assets of $50 billion or more. As such, Ziraat Bank must submit a plan for Ziraat Bank’s rapid and orderly resolution of certain activities in the United States in the event of material financial distress or failure. This Resolution Plan provides an evaluation by Ziraat Bank as to how it can be resolved in the United States under the insolvency regime applicable to its businesses in a way that would not pose serious risk to the financial system. This requires Ziraat Bank to map its core business lines and critical operations (if any) to material entities and provide information on its corporate structure, credit exposure, funding, capital, cash flows, and information with regard to its technology.

ABSTRACT Purpose- This study examines the performance and financial vulnerability of twelve Turkish banks for 2019. Methodology - Stress testing identifies the impact of extreme expected and unexpected shocks to a bank’s capital, provides an assessment of its financial strength to withstand shocks and helps to spot emerging risk(s) and uncover weak spots in the financial institution. It enables banks in identifying their vulnerabilities at an early stage. In addition to stress testing, as for Internal Credit Rating (ICR), some financial ratios have been selected to assess the performance of each bank within banking industry. Findings- All banks in 2019 are within the standard classification of ICR rating except for Şekerbank.

    PEARSON JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES 2020 Doi Number :http://dx.doi.org/10.46872/pj.57 COVID-19 OUTBREAK MEASURES AND PRACTICES ADOPTED IN THE TURKISH FINANCIAL MARKETS1 Seher GÖREN YARGI Research Assistant, Yaşar University, Faculty of Business, Department of International Trade and Finance, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, Turkey, orcid.org/0000-0002-0475-9888. Ebru SAYGILI Assist. Prof. (PhD), Yaşar University, Faculty of Business, Department of International Trade and Finance, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, Turkey, orcid.org/0000-0002-0458-8740. Abstract Starting from March 2020, the measures taken by the Presidency, Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT), Banking Regulation and Supervisory Agency (BRSA) and deposit banks as public banks and private banks against the possible effects of the outbreak have been announced in Turkey. Turkish financial institutions and regulators responded rapidly to Corona Virus (Covid-19) outbreak by providing liquidity solutions while protecting the health and safety of the customers. The economic package titled “Economic Stability Shield” announced by the Presidency on March 18, 2020 is the most important of the measures. On the other hand, the policy rate cut by the Central Bank is also major topic for the outbreak. For instance, Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMB) banned short selling at the beginning of the outbreak. Deposit banks updated the ATM cash withdrawal and contactless payment limits and provided consumer loans with favorable conditions such as travel loans. Especially public banks announced many consumer loan opportunities towards tradesmen, low- income persons etc. Health insurance companies announced that they would pay Covid-19 expenses even though it is an exempt clause in the insurance contracts.
