Armando Morales --Development of the insurance sector /Daniel Hardy and Miguel Palomino --Payment and securities settlement systems /Massimo Cirasino and Mario Guadamillas --Migrant remittances in Central America /Dilip Ratha.Intraregional financial activity in Central America has grown substantially in the past decade, contributing to efficiency and economic development. At the same time, the expansion of activities by regional conglomerates has increased the challenges to supervisory authorities of containing the risks of contagion. Prepared as part of the Central America Financial Sector Regional Project by an IMF and World Bank staff team, this book outlines trends in the region's financial sector integration, supervisory responses, development of the insurance sector, payment and securities settlement arrangements, and worker remittances. It addresses the many common policy challenges facing Central American countries--Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama--in financial sector reform. The book offers key policy recommendations.BooksIntermediation (Finance)Central AmericaInsuranceCentral AmericaSecuritiesCentral AmericaMigrant remittancesCentral AmericaFinanceCentral AmericaActuarial StudiesimfBalance of paymentsimfBankingimfBanks and BankingimfBanks and bankingimfBanksimfClearinghousesimfDepository InstitutionsimfExports and ImportsimfFinanceimfFinance: GeneralimfFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and RegulationimfFinancial institutionsimfFinancial InstrumentsimfFinancial instrumentsimfFinancial marketsimfFinancial services law & regulationimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfGovernment and the Monetary SystemimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfInstitutional InvestorsimfInsurance & actuarial studiesimfInsurance CompaniesimfInsurance companiesimfInsuranceimfInternational economicsimfInternational financeimfInvestment & securitiesimfInvestments: GeneralimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMonetary SystemsimfMortgagesimfNon-bank Financial InstitutionsimfPayment SystemsimfPayment systemsimfPension FundsimfRegimesimfRemittancesimfSecuritiesimfStandardsimfEl SalvadorimfIntermediation (Finance)InsuranceSecuritiesMigrant remittancesFinanceActuarial StudiesBalance of paymentsBankingBanks and BankingBanks and bankingBanksClearinghousesDepository InstitutionsExports and ImportsFinanceFinance: GeneralFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and RegulationFinancial institutionsFinancial InstrumentsFinancial instrumentsFinancial marketsFinancial services law & regulationGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)Government and the Monetary SystemIndustries: Financial ServicesInstitutional InvestorsInsurance & actuarial studiesInsurance CompaniesInsurance companiesInsuranceInternational economicsInternational financeInvestment & securitiesInvestments: GeneralMicro Finance InstitutionsMonetary SystemsMortgagesNon-bank Financial InstitutionsPayment SystemsPayment systemsPension FundsRegimesRemittancesSecuritiesStandardsInternational Monetary Fund.World Bank.DcWaIMFBOOK9910964837403321Central America990253UNINA
