  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital

    The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital

    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.

The author acknowledges financial support from INSEADs International Financial Services (IFS) programme. A working paper in the INSEAD Working Paper Series is intended as a means whereby a faculty researchers thoughts and findings may be communicated to interested readers. The paper should be considered preliminary in nature and may require revision. Printed at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France EUROPEAN BANKING INTEGRATION, Ten Years After by Jean Dermine INSEAD F-77300 Fontainebleau, France October 1995 Revised and expanded version of a paper "Banking Industry in the ECs Internal Market" presented at a conference organized by the Sveriges Riksbank, Stockholm, November 1993. Forthcoming in European Financial Management. Abstract Ten year ago, the White Paper on the Completion of the Single Market announced the integration of European banking markets. The purpose of this essay is to identify four public issues that remain to be addressed. Home country control of international banks need to be complemented by host country control. The deposit guarantee schemes should be modified by rendering insured deposits "first order claim". A European authority is needed to ensure that banks do not exploit domestic rents to subsidize international activities. Finally, tax evasion is a fourth issue that remains to be addressed. At a meeting of the Council of Ministers held in Milan in 1985, the European Commission proposed a detailed timetable for the complete integration of European markets by January 1993. The aim was to dismantle the technological, regulatory and fiscal barriers which prevented the free flow of goods, capital and persons in the European Union.

The Public Integrity Section was established in 1976. The Section was given the responsibility for overseeing the federal effort to combat corruption through the prosecution of elected and appointed public officials at all levels of government. The Section is also responsible for supervising the handling of investigations and prosecutions of election crimes. Its attorneys prosecute selected cases against federal, state, and local officials, and are available as a source of advice and expertise to prosecutors and investigators. The Public Integrity Section also supervises the administration of the Independent Counsel provisions of the Ethics in Government Act. In addition, the Section serves as the Justice Department's center for the handling of issues that may arise from time to time regarding public corruption investigations and prosecutions. The Section maintains a staff of approximately 25 to 30 attorneys including experts in election law, the laws prohibiting conflicts of interest and bribery, the Independent Counsel provisions, and the statutes providing federal jurisdiction over corruption at the state and local levels.

    Beyond Competition for Incorporation

    UC Berkeley Law and Economics Workshop Title Beyond Competition for Incorporation Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8dx735c2 Author Kamar, Ehud Publication Date 2005-10-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California BEYOND COMPETITION FOR INCORPORATIONS Ehud Kamar* October 2005 Forthcoming in the Georgetown Law Journal This Article documents and analyzes a powerful form of regulatory competi- tion — competition for investments — that has transformed national corpo- rate laws in the European Union in recent years. Unlike the competition for incorporations that shapes Delaware corporate law and, by some accounts, the corporate laws of other American states as well, competition for invest- ments sparks innovation in corporate law when firms cannot incorporate outside the jurisdiction in which they operate, and is designed to attract in- vestments in local businesses rather than incorporations by foreign busi- nesses. The high political payoffs that await successful participants in the competition for investments enable them to overcome opposition that could stifle competition for incorporations. And, together with the fact that no single jurisdiction in the European Union can dominate the market for in- vestments, these payoffs drive multiple jurisdictions, including large ones, to compete. Allowing firms to incorporate outside the jurisdiction in which they operate, as a recent series of European Court of Justice rulings re- quires, may or may not breed competition for incorporations. Either way, however, as long as the competition for investments does not lose its steam, the effect on firms will be quite the same. Judging from the reforms that the competition for investments has fueled so far, the effect will be positive.
  • Enforcement of Campaign Finance Rules: a System in Search of Reform

    Enforcement of Campaign Finance Rules: a System in Search of Reform

    The Enforcement of Campaign Finance Rules: A System in Search of Reform Kenneth A. Grosst In the wake of the savings and loan crisis, the so-called "Keating Five" scandal, and increasing disillusionment with the electoral system, campaign finance reform is once again an issue of major national concern. As has often occurred in the past,' Congress appears poised to enact major campaign reform legislation as a response to these latest political scandals. Indeed, the United States Senate passed a campaign finance reform bill in May of this year,2 and the House of Representatives is currently considering campaign finance reform legislation.' While there have been many proposals to make substantive changes to the campaign finance laws, historically, these proposals have overlooked the need to improve procedures for enforcement of these laws. If this round of reforms is to be effective, particular attention must be devoted to the enforcement provisions in light of the critical inadequacies of the current enforcement scheme. The current enforcement mechanism is flawed in three fundamental ways. First, individuals and campaigns accused of Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA)4 violations do not enjoy many of the due process protections available to the accused in other administrative contexts. Second, the statutory enforce- ment scheme under the FECA constrains the ability of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to adequately deter FECA violations-a daunting task in the face of entities that aggressively seek creative ways to evade the laws. Finally, despite the existence of a number of criminal statutes prohibiting elected officials from accepting campaign contributions for improper purposes, the criminal law has been of limited value in regulating campaign finance t Kenneth A.
