TEKST!! REGULATION AND DEREGULATION-uredba i deregulacija In the late 1920s, several American commercial banks that were underwritng security issues for companies weren't able to sell the stocks to the public, because there wasnt't enough demand. So they used money belonging to their depositors to buy these securities. If the stock price later fell, their customers lost a lot of money. This led the government to ste pup the regulation of banks, to protect depositors funds, and to maintain investitors confidence in the banking system.In 1993 the Glass-Steagall Act was passed,which prohibiled America commercial banks from underwriting securities. Only investment banks could issue stocks for corporations. In Britain too, retail or commercial banks remained separate from investment or merchant banks. A similar law was passed in Japan after World War 2. Half a century later, in the 1980s and 90s,many banks were looking for new markets and higher profit sin a period of increasing globalization. So most industrialized countries deregulated their financial systems. The GlassSteagall Act was repealed. A lot of commercial banks merged with or ayquired investment banks and insurance companies, which created large financial

conglomerates. The larger American and British banks now offer customers a complete range of financial services, as the universal banks in Germany and Switzerland have done for a long time. The law forbidding US commercial banks from operating in more than one state was also abolished. In Britain, many building societies, which specialized in mortgages, started to offer the same services as commercial banks. Yet in all countries, financial institions are still quite strictly controlled, either by the central bank or another financial authority. In 2002, ten of Wall Street's biggest banks paid fines of 1,4 bilion for having advised investors, int he 1990s, to buy stocks in companies that they knew had financial difficulties. They had done this in order to get investment banking business from these companies-exactly the kind of practice that led the US government to separate commercian and investment banking in the 1930s.

BANKS TO RELY ON BRANCHES TO DRIVE GROWTH-Banke se trebaju pouzdati u svoje poslovnice za budui rast Banks will rely on branches to drive future growth rather than the internet, according to new research.A study of 2,709 customers by Deloitte and Touche, the professional services firm, showed that the bank branch in the preferred channel for 52 per cent of customers interviewed. Only 16 per cent preferred to bank using the telephone and 8 per cent used the internet. The study also showed that the bank brench is preferred by 45 per cent of customers in the affluent AB social group- contradicting the notion that sophisticated customers avoid branches. Nick Sandall, retail financial services partner at Deloitte and Touche, said he believed that the main banks in the UK were planning to reverse a decade of under-investment in branches by putting the network at the heart of their strategy. Although some banks, such as Abbey Nationas, are ahead of the game in their efforts to revolutionise the way in which they use branches to reach the consumer, we expect all banks to invest substantially in reshaping their branch networks and the activities within, he said. Deloitte and Touche believed that the successful retail bank of the future needed to give careful consideration to areas such as branch design, staffing and location.Abey National, which has introduced Costa coffee shops into some of its branches, reports that banking product sales have increased in these locations.
