Banking in emerging markets has traditionally been characterized by [1] government control, restrictions on borrowing and lending rates, and financial repression. However, in the 1990s regulators were forced to deregulate and liberalize financial systems due to macroeconomic pressures, technological developments, and global changes. This led to [2] privatizations, mergers and acquisitions, growth of foreign banks, and other structural changes in emerging market banking systems. Still, concerns remain regarding foreign bank ownership and continued reforms are needed to build stable banking sectors.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

5. Banking in emerging markets ;
--Government control
--Restrictions on borrowing and lending
rates
6. Financial repression Strong intervention of
government in financial markets
- Maintaining the monopoly
- Restricting entry
- Strictly controlling
7. FINANCIAL REPRESSION INCLUDES;
Control over interest rate
Controls over lending
Directed landing
High reserve requirements
Restrictions on entry of banks and other financial
intermediaries
Restrictions on entry of foreign financial intermediaries
Nationalisation of financial institutions
8. In 1990’s regulators forced by ;
- Macroeceonomic pressures
- Fast technological developments
-Changes in global markets
Several changes have forced structural
changes,
- Removal of ceilings on deposit rates
- Removal of the prohibition on interest payments
9. Deregulation and financial liberalisation’ve long
been considered a positive force ;
-increasing efficiency by imposing competition
-removing regulations that distort economic activity
10. Financial deregulation has certainly made it
easier for intermediaries to cross industry and
national boundaires.
It has also fostered technological progress.
Financial innovation includes the development of
new instruments.
11. Owing to the recent technological
changes,emerging economies’ banking markets
are in a position to skip a stage of financial
development.
12. Emerging markets see the development of new
delivery channels as an important part of the
development of their retail and commercial
banking activities , both because of the
growing avaibility of IT and
telecommunication technologies and the
relatively lower cost of delivery compared to
bank branches.
13. PRIVATISATIONS
Transfer of government services or assets
to the private sector. State-owned assets
may be sold to private owners, or
statutory restrictions on competition
between privately and publicly owned
enterprises may be lifted.
14. ADVANTAGES OF PRIVATISATION
-Private enterprise is more responsive to customer complaints and
innovation.
-Privatisation leads to lower prices and greater supply.
-Competition in privatisation increases differentiation.
DISADVANTAGES OF PRIVATISATION
-Privatisation is expensive and genarates a lot of income in fees for
specialist advisers such as banks
-The privatised businesses have sold of or closed down unprofitable
parts of business and so services eg transport in rural areas have
got worse
-Wider share ownership did not really happen as many small investors
took their profits and didn’t buy anything else.
15. MERGERS AND ACQUİSİTİONS
Merger is a financial tool that is used for
enhancing long-term profitability by expanding
their operations. Mergers occur when the
merging companies have their mutual consent as
different from acquisitions, which can take the
form of a hostile takeover.
Acquisitions or takeovers occur between the
bidding and the target company. There may be
either hostile or friendly takeovers. Reverse
takeover occurs when the target firm is
larger than the bidding firm.
17. Foreign ownership of banks in selected emerging economies - BIS ( 2005 )
Assets owned by banks with 50 % or Assets owned by banks with more than
Country more foreign ownership ( as ½ of total 10% but less than 50% foreign
banking sector assets ) ownership ( as % of total banking
sector assets )

19. A NUMBER OF CONCERNS
A large foreign banking presence can reduce the
information available to host country supervisors
A large foreign bank’s presence casn expose a country
to shocks due purely to external events affecting the
parent bank
The issue of foreign currency-denominated lending
Foreign banks ‘cherry pick’ the best firms, leaving the
domestic banking sector with a weakened lending
purtfolio
Foreign banks concentrate on large and more profitable
firms , leaving small and meduim-sized enterprises for
domestic banks
24. BANKİNG CRİSES
NPLs was at least 10 percent of total assets
• Cost of rescue operations was > 2 percent of
GDP
• Banking problems resulted in a large scale
nationalization of banks
• Emergency measures, such as deposit
freeze, prolonged bank holidays, generalized
deposit guarantees were introduced
25. Some Stylized Facts on Banking Crisis

Three
fourths of the IMF’s member countries, have experienced
significant banking sector problems since the 1980s .
• Most of the recent financial crises had banking sector
weaknesses at the core:
Mexico (1994), Turkey (2000), Korea (1997) etc.
26. • Banking crises often preceded by financial
liberalization.
• Banking crises are more severe in developing
countries
• Severity depends on reversal of capital flows
• More of banking crises are Twin Crises
27. IDENTFIYING THE CAUSES OF BANKING CRISES
Several bank specific factors and macro-
economic shocks micro-economic may cause
a banking crisis:
– Bank specific characteristics

31. Five types of loan performance categories are recommended by the
IMF for external reporting purposes and these include:
1) Standard.Credit is sound and payments current.
2) Watch.Subject to conditions that if uncorrected,could raise corcerns about
full repayment.
3) Substandard.Full repayment is in doubt due to inadequate
protection.Interest or principal overdue (90 days +).
4) Doubtful.Assets for which collection is considered improbable.Interest cipal
overdue(180 days +).
5) Loss.Virtually uncollectible.Interest or principal overdue (1 year +).
