Given the current global financial
crisis it is imperative to understand the financial
structure in place in developing countries following
the financial liberalisation policy. This liberalisation
policy was implemented as per the philosophy of Structural
Adjustment Programmes and Macroeconomic Stabilisation
prescribed by international financial institutions.
The era of financial liberalisation has witnessed
very visible changes in the financial structure. The
stock market, innovative risk-trading financial derivatives
such as futures and options, umbrella banking, various
types of financial institutions, dominance of foreign
capital in the capital market, exposure of traditional
banks to new risky avenues, and a more internationally-linked
capital market are some of the features of the new
financial structure.
It is necessary to assess the extent to which the
new financial structure has contributed to economic
development, because ultimately the purpose of the
financial system is to facilitate economic development.
Has the new financial structure provided more stability
to the developing economies, which is a prerequisite
for stable economic growth? Such issues are pertinent
to developing countries because they have been implementing
the financial liberalisation policy for more than
a decade now, in the hope of promoting economic development.
The result, as mentioned above, has been a structural
shift in the financial system in these countries.
This international conference is an attempt to contribute
to the ongoing debate on the issues of finance, financial
structure, and its association with economic development.

around the following themes:
-
