On the Sidelines of the Sibos Conference on 26th Sept 2016, Dr. Seetharman, Doha Bank CEO addressed the Bankers and Public. He highlighted on Banking Business models. He said 'In response to the crisis the Global regulatory reforms had been actively reviewed under the leadership of G20 countries in co-ordination with financial stability Board (FSB), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Bank for International settlements (BIS).The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in US implemented the regulatory reforms in response to the crisis. The Volcker's Rule was enacted under this regulation to restrict proprietary trading. The SEC also proposed tougher disclosure rules for Hedge fund and private equity firms. FSB, IMF and BIS are working on macro-prudential policy frameworks, including tools to mitigate the impact of excessive capital flows. Policy framework for systemically important financial institutions, regulation and oversight of shadow banking, risk practices on structured products were some of the areas which required review in the light of current crisis. Basel 3 is also under implementation. The Banking Business model will be redefined on account of shift from de-regulation to re-regulation. Globalizaton, technology, consumerism and re- regulation were the key areas driving the change However technology is one of the key enablers of the Banking Industry. Given the regulatory environment and continued pressure on costs in the capital markets, financial institutions are more than ever considering how to collaborate in non-differentiating areas and utilise new technologies.'
