Structural and regulatory developments in OECD countries

Article Abstract:

Member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development need to implement changes in their financial structures to encourage foreign investment even during an economic crisis. Korea has an inadequate credit system and an imbalanced banking structure which can be remedied by easing regulatory pressure. The Czech Republic amended its banking policies to regain the public's trust and protect foreign investors. The Netherlands modified its legal framework to hasten the gathering of financial information.
