The Market in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is nothing short of a revolution. Introduced on 1 November 2007, it will have a profound, long-term impact on Europe's securities markets. It will see banks operating as exchanges for certain activities, offering alternative execution services that more closely resemble the structure of over-the-counter markets, and will lead to the decentralisation of order execution in an array of venues previously governed by concentration rules. Crucially, MiFID will also have a profound impact on the organisation and business strategies of investment firms, exchanges, asset managers and other financial markets intermediaries. Until now, analysis has focused on the directive's short term implementation issues. This book focuses on the long term strategic implications associated with MiFID, and will be essential reading for anybody who recognises that their firm will need to make constant dynamic readjustments in order to remain competitive in this challenging new environment.

“This is an excellent book on an increasingly important topic, and proves a valuable resource for academics, students, and policy-makers.” —Stephany Griffith-Jones, Professor, Columbia University, USA “Peter Volberding addresses a long-standing issue of delivering effective financing for sustainable economic development. He does not simply provide the origin, evolution and challenges of marketized development financial instruments, he goes beyond!” —Désiré Kanga, Centre for Global Finance, SOAS University of London, UK “Peter Volberding’s engaging account documents the actors and institutions—notably, the German state-owned KfW—that made this revolutionary change possible.” —Beth Simmons, Professor, University of Pennsylvania, USA This book investigates how development institutions created and promoted marketized development financial instruments to increase the speed and scope of assistance by leveraging private financial markets for development objectives. To attract private investors, donor governments agreed to bear the risk in these new instruments in order to mobilize investment during times of political crisis. In particular, this book contends that Germany’s KfW played an outsized role in the development of these new financial instruments, particularly in microfinance banks and structured funds, as KfW’s unique institutional attributes and strong political support from the German government at critical junctures fostered financial innovation. Using over 70 interviews and a cache of newly released archival materials, this book documents how KfW and other development institutions created and promoted these marketized development financial instruments, and how they have become a pillar of modern development policy. Peter Volberding received his PhD from the Government Department at Harvard University, USA.
