One clear difference, though, is that Liikanen, unlike the UK proposals, allows securities underwriting in deposit banks. This contrasts with the US, even after the 1999 repeal of the Glass Steagall Act s ban on affiliation between banks and companies engaged principally in underwriting securities.

And it sits oddly with separating trading and derivatives from deposit banking, since underwriting is akin to selling a large put option, and typically riskier than normal market making. With underwriting on the trading side of the fence, the deposit bank could still supply the service to customers, but as a broker, not as a dealer.

In some cases, guarantee arrangements providing for specific financial underwriting of risks from policy or institutional change may be necessary, and may need to be written with all levels of government involved.

Standards. Two standards are proposed.

Underwriting had collapsed, and banks were more than ready to get out of the securities business. The Glass Steagall separation of commercial and investment banking simply validated a transition that was already underway.

Minimal standards

The most illustrative examples of NTBs include plant and animal health standards, food safety standards, environmental certification and other similar export quality standards.

Outside China, princelings are feeling the heat as well. Not long ago, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it was investigating JPMorgan Chase s hiring of princelings in Hong Kong, who apparently delivered lucrative underwriting deals for the bank.

International standards, including technical standards and sanitary and phytosanitary standards, can also pose an additional challenge to developing countries with regard to accessing international markets.

Technical standards, including standards at the international level, are also being discussed (including definitional questions of technical and international standards, and how harmonization with international standards should be linked to the fulfilment of the objectives of VI.4).

The standards task force of the ICT Board continues to address ICT standards throughout the Secretariat.

After prolonged lobbying by the financial services industry, US President Bill Clinton repealed Glass Steagall in 1999. From that point on, commercial and investment banks could merge, and the composite entities were authorized to provide a full range of banking services, including underwriting and other trading activities.
