ABSTRACT

While there are numerous texts on comparative banking and excellent studies such as de Kock’s on central banking, only recently with the interest taken by the EEC in the harmonisation of banking regulation within the Community has attention been given to the use of various regulatory constraints on banking in different economies. One of the limitations to the general use of a number of excellent textbooks on money and banking is that they place their analysis entirely within the context of a particular country’s institutional framework.
