Abstract

The Managing Director welcomes the IEO's novel report, which identifies recurring issues from past evaluations and assesses progress in addressing them. The report's focus on organizational silos, attention to risks and uncertainty, country and institutional context, evenhandedness, and Executive Board guidance and oversight is appropriate given their relevance and importance for the effectiveness and credibility of IMF operations.

Abstract

Le dollar occupe une position dominante dans le système monétaire international. Comment se manifeste cette position par rapport aux autres grandes monnaies ? Quelles en sont les causes et les enjeux pour l'économie mondiale ? En émettant la monnaie internationale dominante, les États-Unis disposent d'un « privilège exorbitant ». Dans le système de Bretton Woods, le dollar était le pivot des relations de change. Il est remarquable que le passage aux changes flottants ait préservé cette asymétrie. La structure des relations monétaires l'explique. Car la liquidité dépend d'effets de réseaux qui confortent les positions dominantes. Mettre en évidence cette persistance découle de l'analyse des processus historiques qui forment les monnaies internationales. Aussi sa remise en cause dépend-elle de l'évolution mondiale qui affirme de nouvelles puissances hors de l'orbite occidentale. Parce que la monnaie est un bien public, la concurrence des devises pour la liquidité internationale est un processus instable. Avec l'internationalisation du renminbi (yuan) réapparaîtra vers la fin de l'actuelle décennie le besoin de règles monétaires mutuellement acceptées.

Abstract

This paper discusses findings of the Detailed Assessment of Observance of the Insurance Core Principles on Denmark. Insurance regulation in Denmark has a good level of compliance with the Insurance Core Principles. A particular strength of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority’s approach is its close focus on key risks in the sector and its readiness to require action by companies to address vulnerabilities. Regular, even daily monitoring of market risk sensitivities is carried out on life insurers’ balance sheets. In nonlife insurance, regular testing of a number of key performance ratios helps to highlight potential weaknesses and to support early intervention. There is comprehensive oversight of the reinsurance programs of the nonlife companies in particular.

Abstract

This Detailed Assessment of Compliance on the Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision on Switzerland discusses that significant portions of guidance and legislation related to qualitative risk management and control standards are not as detailed or comprehensive as in many other major countries and need to be updated and selectively strengthened. Supervisory risk assessments and guidance to auditors, as the extended supervisory arm of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), need to be further materially improved, beyond what is now envisioned. Additional skilled resources within FINMA are necessary to meet these goals and to conduct more on-site supervisory work. The responsibilities and objectives of FINMA that emphasize protecting creditors, investors and insured persons, as well as ensuring proper functioning of the financial market, should be clearly stated in legislation as pre-eminent. It is recommended to increase FINMA resources, especially for on-site inspection and risk expertise. Clarify and limit the cases in which the Board can become involved in supervisory decisions and improve conflict code.
