Micro- and Macro-Level Financial Reform in Canada

James Powell

Chapter 7 in Financial Reform in Developing Countries, 1998, pp 197-219 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Over the past fifteen or so years, financial liberalization has become increasingly popular around the world. Among industrial countries, we have witnessed the elimination of exchange controls in Europe, interest rate liberalization in Japan and the USA and major financial sector reforms virtually everywhere, most notably London’s ‘Big Bang’ in 1986. In the USA, inter-state banking has been liberalized, while Glass-Steagall restrictions separating banking and securities business have been significantly eroded; this latter type of development is occurring in Japan as well.
