The Basel Committee blocks development

Thursday, February 3, 2022 16:03

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I refer to Aleksandr V Gevorkyan’s “Small economies require new development model” November 5.

What would FT opine on a development model that include bank regulations based on:

1.- Bureaucrats know better what to do with credit than entrepreneurs;

2.- It is better to refinance the safer present than financing the riskier future, and

3.- Residential mortgages are more important than small business loans?

I ask because that’s precisely what the credit risk weighted bank capital requirements ordain, those globally marketed by the Basel Committee and capital minimizing/leverage maximizing financial engineers.

Do you really think the developed world would have been able to develop as much with those regulations? Is not risk-taking the oxygen of all development?

On another topic Gevorkyan mentions “involving the entrepreneurial and investment potential of the large expatriate community (diaspora) that is now a feature of most small economies.” Absolutely but, let us not ignore the sad fact that in many countries it is the family remittances that help to keep in power the governments that caused the diaspora to have to emigrate.

PS. At the High-level Dialogue on Financing for Developing at the United Nations, New York, October 2007, I presented a document titled “Are the Basel bank regulations good for development?” Fourteen years later, that question is still not discussed
