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. 410 0$aBooks 606 $aIntermediation (Finance)$zCentral America 606 $aInsurance$zCentral America 606 $aSecurities$zCentral America 606 $aMigrant remittances$zCentral America 606 $aFinance$zCentral America 606 $aActuarial Studies$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aClearinghouses$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and Regulation$2imf 606 $aFinancial institutions$2imf 606 $aFinancial Instruments$2imf 606 $aFinancial instruments$2imf 606 $aFinancial markets$2imf 606 $aFinancial services law & regulation$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aGovernment and the Monetary System$2imf 606 $aIndustries: Financial Services$2imf 606 $aInstitutional Investors$2imf 606 $aInsurance & actuarial studies$2imf 606 $aInsurance Companies$2imf 606 $aInsurance companies$2imf 606 $aInsurance$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aInternational finance$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aInvestments: General$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMonetary Systems$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aNon-bank Financial Institutions$2imf 606 $aPayment Systems$2imf 606 $aPayment systems$2imf 606 $aPension Funds$2imf 606 $aRegimes$2imf 606 $aRemittances$2imf 606 $aSecurities$2imf 606 $aStandards$2imf 607 $aEl Salvador$2imf 615 0$aIntermediation (Finance) 615 0$aInsurance 615 0$aSecurities 615 0$aMigrant remittances 615 0$aFinance 615 7$aActuarial Studies 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aClearinghouses 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and Regulation 615 7$aFinancial institutions 615 7$aFinancial Instruments 615 7$aFinancial instruments 615 7$aFinancial markets 615 7$aFinancial services law & regulation 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aGovernment and the Monetary System 615 7$aIndustries: Financial Services 615 7$aInstitutional Investors 615 7$aInsurance & actuarial studies 615 7$aInsurance Companies 615 7$aInsurance companies 615 7$aInsurance 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aInternational finance 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aInvestments: General 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMonetary Systems 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aNon-bank Financial Institutions 615 7$aPayment Systems 615 7$aPayment systems 615 7$aPension Funds 615 7$aRegimes 615 7$aRemittances 615 7$aSecurities 615 7$aStandards 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964837403321 996 $aCentral America$9990253 997 $aUNINA
