Around the world, central bankers, regulators and governments have responded to the financial crisis with new regulation and legislation. The cornerstone of this global initiative to contain risk is Basel III – sweeping new regulatory standards for banks on capital adequacy and liquidity.

These new standards will define markets and their practices for decades to come. Already, they are reshaping institutions, business models and balance sheets.

Understanding Basel III and the thinking behind it is essential for market participants and for those charged with implementing the standards. In Basel III and Beyond, the first book-length treatment of Basel III, editors Mario Quagliariello of the European Banking Authority and Francesco Cannata of the Bank of Italy have assembled contributors from regulators and central banks involved in preparing the standards including a foreword from Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank.

Key chapters describe and analyse the new elements of Basel III, as well as detailing important revisions to the 2004 accord. Written by the regulators themselves, Basel III and Beyond is the essential guide to the new global banking standards.

The only title that combines discussion and analysis on the methodologies employed by the major rating agencies together with those actually implemented internally by credit practitioners from financial institutions.

This multi-contributor title will enable you to better analyse and evaluate economic capital in order to implement more effective risk management strategies within your business. Economic Capital is the definitive reference on this increasingly important area of finance.

Both commodities and inflation-linked products have gained interest in recent years as alternatives and complements to traditional asset classes. The growth in investors’ participation in these markets is a global phenomenon, clearly evident in the increasing volume and types of instruments traded in both the spot and derivatives markets.

In Inflation Sensitive Assets: Instruments and Strategies Stefania Perrucci and Brice Benaben bring together different points of view and practical insights from active market participants including investment banks, asset management, pension funds and central banks.

Designed for practitioners, the book includes important academic contributions, and will be of interest to portfolio managers, risk managers, plan sponsors and researchers alike.

“This book provides an essential resource for investors, consultants and service providers keen to preserve wealth”
