Why is it important?

Given the levels of interest rates at the moment - as well as the global economic climate, there are serious concerns that further repercussions - principally attributed to monetary policies and current political pressures, may trigger the levels of borrowing. Political pressures partly being derived from ongoing trade wars and tensions - which threaten to escalate if other trade "weapons", or negotiating tools such as practices of currency devaluation are severely or significantly allowed to break/cross their traditional boundaries.

Perspectives

The advancement of techniques, tools and vehicles used to disguise many economic indicators, the growing use of foreign currency debt - rather than resorting to domestic bonds - as well as the use of trust vehicles has become more complex and sophisticated over the years. The growing presence of shadow banking activities - which to a significant extent, can still be considered unregulated, testifies - as well as justifies the need for regulatory intervention in areas which pertain not only to Securities Financing Transactions, but also the shadow banking sectors.
