英文摘要 |
The G20-led international financial regulatory reforms against the 2008 financial crisis have encountered major problems in national implementation. Nations differ vastly in regards of approach, degree, scope, and timetable of implementing international standards in most financial sectors. The implementation problem tends to induce states to race to the bottom, making international financial regulatory reforms in vain, and even laying the ground for the next financial crisis. The implementation problem is rooted in the tradition of 'soft law' standards in international finance. This article calls for keeping the right momentum of hardening international finance law along possible dimensions of obligation, stringency, delegation, and enforcement. The article specifically advocates improving the multilateral financial regulation via a stronger Financial Stability Board and a credible dispute settlement mechanism borrowing the WTO experience. |
