Investing to Save, Serve and Survive Investing to save, serve and survive Trends in Financial Services for 2019 and beyond Technology has disrupted just about every industry over the last decade of digitalisation. Financial services is no exception. Insurance and investment management, as much as retail banking, were already heavily reliant on information technology. The advances now being made have huge potential to transform – the internal processes of these service providers, how they interact with their financial ecosystems and, most obviously, their dealings with clients. Like many of their end customers, financial service companies are investing to save. These technologies can drive down the costs of back-office functions, transactions and staffing (by reducing headcounts). By extracting value from vast data, they can also make more commercially astute decisions, for example, better underwriting in insurance. In the retail banking sphere, this information – pooled through Open Banking in Europe – can shape more personalised, competitive and responsive products and services. The convergence of the new technologies we consider here could democratise financial services in ways that may currently seem hard to credit 2 This revolution is already well under way.

  • Value, Caution and Accountability in an Era of Large Banks and Complex Finance*
    2011-2012 BETTING BIG 765 BETTING BIG: VALUE, CAUTION AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN AN ERA OF LARGE BANKS AND COMPLEX FINANCE* LAWRENCE G. BAXTER** Abstract Big banks are controversial. Their supporters maintain that they offer products, services and infrastructure that smaller banks simply cannot match and enjoy unprecedented economies of scale and scope. Detractors worry about the risks generated by big banks, their threats to financial stability, and the way they externalize costs of operation to the public. This article explains why there is no conclusive argument one way or the other and why simple measures for restricting the danger of big banks are neither plausible nor effective. The complex ecology of modern finance and the management and regulatory challenges generated by ultra-large banking, however, cast serious doubt on the proposition that the benefits of big banking outweigh its risks. Consequently, two general principles are proposed for further consideration. First, big banks should bear a greater degree of public accountability by reforming certain principles of corporate governance to require greater representation of public interests at the board and executive levels of big banks. Second, given the unproven promises of performance by big banks, their unimpressive actual record of performance, and the many hazards they inevitably generate or encounter, financial regulators should consciously adopt a strict cautionary approach. Under this approach, big banks would bear a very heavy onus to demonstrate in concrete terms that their continued growth – and even the maintenance of their current scale – can be adequately managed and supervised. * © Lawrence G.

  • The Development of the City of London As a Representative Body
    The development of the City of London as a representative body Paper given by Mark Boleat at Guildhall Historical Association, 20 January 2014 The City of London Corporation has the functions of a local authority in the Square Mile, but it is heavily involved in many other areas including arts and culture, open spaces, private education, food markets, the judiciary, policing and State events. The City Corporation also has a representative role for “the City”, a shorthand expression for the UK’s financial services industry. This role involves setting out the City position and seeking to influence public policy in the UK, Europe and globally. Why the City Corporation is involved in non-local authority functions is bound up in history, and partly reflects the financial resources at its disposal. This paper seeks to explain why and how the City has come to exercise its representative role. The representative role today It is helpful briefly to set out the nature of the City Corporation’s current representative role, before beginning to analyse how that role developed. The work today includes – The Lord Mayor’s overseas programme, which is largely promotional although there is some representative work on policy issues. This also applies to the Lord Mayor’s role in receiving foreign visitors. The Policy Chairman is involved in frequent meetings with politicians, think tanks and other opinion formers in the UK, and also on the international stage – in the EU, China, India and the US. The objective of this work is to influence policy, lobbying as some would call it.

  • Britain and the World Economy Short Title: the Finance Curse Authors
    Full Title: The Finance Curse: Britain and the World Economy Short Title: The Finance Curse Authors: John Christensen, Nick Shaxson, Duncan Wigan [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] (corresponding author) Duncan Wigan is Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School. John Christensen is a development economist and Director of the Tax Justice Network. Nicholas Shaxson is author of Treasure Islands, a book about tax havens and financial centres, and Poisoned Wells, a book about the Resource Curse. Abstract: The Global Financial Crisis placed the utility of financial services in question. The crash, great recession, wealth transfers from public to private, austerity and growing inequality cast doubt on the idea that finance is a boon to the host economy. This article systematizes these doubts to highlight the perils of an oversized financial sector. States failing to harness natural resources for development, led to the concept of the Resource Curse. In many countries resource dependence generated slower growth, crowding out, reduced economic diversity, lost entrepreneurialism, unemployment, economic instability, inequality, conflict, rent-seeking and corruption. The Finance Curse produces similarly effects, often for similar reasons. Beyond a point, a growing financial sector can do more harm than good. Unlike the Resource Curse, these harms transcend borders. The concept of a Finance Curse starkly illuminates the condition of Britain’s political economy and the character of its relations with the rest of the world.

    IRSG DATA WORKSTREAM RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION ON EUROPEAN STRATEGY FOR DATA The International Regulatory Strategy Group (IRSG) Data workstream is pleased to respond to the European Commission’s consultation on a European strategy for Data. We value the Commission’s recognition of the importance of the global digital transition that is currently changing our societies and economies at unprecedented speed, and the position of data at the core of this transformation. The International Regulatory Strategy Group (IRSG) is a practitioner-led body of leading UK-based representatives from the financial and professional services industry. It is an advisory body to the City of London Corporation, and to TheCityUK. The IRSG Data workstream has representatives from financial services firms, trade associations, the legal profession and data providers. In particular light of the COVID-19 crisis, the IRSG Data workstream by means of this letter would like to set out some of its thinking on how data governance mechanisms and structures can best maximise the social and economic benefits of data usage in the EU. We recognise that a consultation is currently ongoing on how the financial services sector could best harness the data economy, however we feel that there are some broader topics to consider in response to this consultation. In particular, the IRSG Data workstream has identified the following issues as those to note: 1. The importance of remaining internationally connected in regards data access and sharing. We support the development of common European data spaces, but a lot of work is needed to determine how these will operate and how they should be governed.
