"a consumer protection point of view, including through remuneration arrangements. failure to manage conduct risks can expose a financial institution to a variety of other risks which, if not managed properly, can threaten its solvency and sustainability. the regulatory regime for market conduct therefore provides a framework for the identification and management of conduct risk as a complementary framework to prudential regulation. this is part of the motivation for rigorous coordination and cooperation arrangements between the pa and the fsca envisaged by the financial sector regulation bill aimed at ensuring that all risks are holistically managed within an overarching financial stability policy framework. strengthening conduct in wholesale otc markets another initiative has been the development of a code of conduct for south african wholesale over - the - counter ( otc ) financial markets in a collaborative effort between regulators and key market participants. i will return to this aspect later. against the background of various investigations undertaken in many foreign jurisdictions in relation to foreign exchange market manipulation, the sarb and the fsb launched a review bis central bankers ’ speeches of the foreign exchange trading operations of south african authorised dealers in october 2014. as the rand is a globally traded currency, the aim of the review was to establish whether there may have been any spillover into our markets in relation to any misconduct or malpractice. it is important to note that, unlike in other jurisdictions, the south african review was not informed by whistle - blowing or any allegations – or indeed concrete evidence – of any misconduct. we had no evidence of widespread malpractice in the south african foreign exchange market but felt that, given the broad - based nature of investigations in other jurisdictions ( which also involved trading in emerging market currencies ), it would be prudent to obtain comfort that our foreign exchange trading practices were in line with best practice. it was therefore a proactive step on the part of south african regulators. the foreign exchange review committee established for this purpose – chaired by former senior deputy governor james cross, who is with us today – released its report in october 2015. the committee reported that it had found no evidence of manipulation or serious misconduct in the domestic foreign exchange market during the period covered by the review, but that there was scope for improvement in relation to governance and conduct. the committee also recommended that legislation be enhanced to give market conduct regulators wider powers to strengthen enforcement. south african regulators are in conversation with each other on how best to give effect to the implementation of the recommendations. there was also the recommendation",
"luigi federico signorini : g20 sustainable finance working group private sector roundtable welcome address by mr luigi federico signorini, senior deputy governor of the bank of italy, at the g20 sustainable finance working group private sector roundtable, online event, 17 may 2021. * * * welcome, and a good day to you all. i am happy to open the private sector roundtable, an event promoted by the g20 presidency and by the chinese and american co - chairs of the sustainable finance working group. the roundtable will focus on the role of finance in helping fight climate change and promoting lowcarbon transition. the g20 finance ministers and central bank governors recently recognised the need to ‘ shape the current economic recovery by investing in innovative technologies and promoting just transitions toward more sustainable economies and societies ’. low - carbon transition is urgent and must be accelerated : the later we act, the greater the costs. it requires an unprecedented and unremitting effort. while quantitative estimates vary, the investments needed for transition are certainly huge ; they need to be sustained for a long time. governments have a central role in that they need to point the way by adopting an appropriate policy framework. a clear and credible path for government regulatory and fiscal action is also a prerequisite for efficient choices on the part of private finance. indeed, while many governments will directly invest their own money in many countries and mdbs will play their part, it is likely that the private sector will be called upon to finance most transition investment. there will be no transition without a general awareness of the need for it and a willingness, even a desire, to finance it. there are in fact quite a few encouraging signs. since last year, we have seen an explosion of ‘ net - zero commitments ’ in the private sector — though such commitments ( i am told ) are still confined to one sixth of publicly listed companies globally. at the same time, the appetite of ultimate investors and asset managers for ‘ green ’ investment is growing fast. i am sure many in the audience will have a clear perception of this fact. however, the path is still fraught with difficulties. on the market side, while sustainable finance is increasingly popular, it suffers from a lack of clear definitions and standards. ‘ greenwashing ’ is a danger ; good data, an agreed taxonomy, and adequate company disclosure are necessary. global consistency is important, as fragmentation of standards across jurisdictions is confusing for investors and costly for companies. standards are currently being drafted",
"later, by more. so we raised interest rates through the second half of last year - and again in june - trying, as best we could through our tactics, to minimise any further unwanted upward pressure on sterling. but things have now clearly moved on. the outlook for the world economy deteriorated further through the summer under the impact of a series of new shocks. japan, the world ’ s second largest economy, slipped further into recession. russia - which had only weeks earlier embarked on an imf program - saw the collapse of the rouble and default on its debt. and acute nervousness spread through many of the world ’ s financial markets. although there has been some improvement in sentiment over the past month or two, and although the us and european economies continue to expand, the likelihood remains that world economic growth will be significantly slower than had been expected earlier in the summer. slower growth of world activity is bound to prolong the restraining external effect on growth and inflation in the uk, even though the exchange rate has now started to weaken. at the same time there are also now clearer signs of overall slowdown in our own economy. the evidence for this is less obvious in the backwards - looking economic and monetary data than it is in the forward - looking surveys, but even so the data suggest that we are beginning to see an easing of pressure, including an easing of pressure in the labour market. and the surveys themselves now point to a slowdown in service sector growth, including retail distribution, as well as a sharper decline in manufacturing output. this prospect is consistent with the reports which we receive directly from the bank ’ s network of regional agents and their 7000 - odd industrial and commercial contacts around the country. of course we pay very careful attention to this forward - looking evidence of developments in the economy alongside the data, and, like others, we have revised down our forecasts for output growth and inflation. and we have eased monetary policy quite sharply in the past two months, in the light of that evidence. our current best guess - published in last week ’ s inflation report is that, after the interest rate cuts, the growth of overall output next year will be around 1 %, picking up through the millennium to around trend in the second half of the year 2000. meanwhile, we expect underlying inflation to remain close to the target rate of 21 / 2 % - though perhaps a little above that rate during the course of next year. now no - one likes to see the",
"daniel mminele : conduct and culture in the banking and financial sectors opening address by mr daniel mminele, deputy governor of the south african reserve bank, at the g - 30 forum on banking conduct and culture, pretoria, 18 february 2016. * * * governor kganyago ( sarb ), governor sithole ( central bank of swaziland ), deputy governor mlambo ( reserve bank of zimbabwe ), deputy governors, groepe and naidoo ( sarb ), second deputy governor sullivan ( central bank of seychelles ), sir david walker ( vice chair of the group of thirty steering committee ), dr stuart mackintosh ( executive director of the g30 ), ms maria ramos ( chief executive officer of barclays africa ), the leadership of banks and other financial institutions, panel members, and esteemed delegates. it is a privilege and an honour for me to welcome you, on behalf of south african reserve bank ( sarb ), to this forum on banking conduct and culture, which we are co - hosting with the g30 and barclays africa. the g - 30 has, over the years, played a significant role in bringing together members of the banking, financial and regulatory community to discuss issues of common concern and examine the choices available to market practitioners and policymakers. given the enormous trust deficit that has built up since the global financial crisis, the topic of conduct and culture is of great importance and highly relevant to the global banking and financial sector. bankers have always had a delicate relationship with the societies they serve. it would appear that, at any point in time, it is almost a national sport across the globe to take a swipe at bankers. mark twain famously said : “ a banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain. ” and j m keynes asked : “ how long will it take to pay city men so entirely out of proportion to what other servants of society commonly received for performing social services not less useful or difficult? ” we would be terribly misguided to treat the current wave of discontent and deep mistrust as just another wave that will eventually subside. the most recent global financial crisis, from which almost nine years later we are still struggling to recover, shook the very foundations of our financial system and almost caused its total meltdown. in a nutshell, the crisis was about failures in conduct, culture, and supervisory practices. the consequences"
