Preface
The papers collected in this volume are those presented at the thirteenth
Colloquium arranged by the Societe Universitaire Europeenne de
Recherches Financieres (SUERF), which took place in Luxembourg in
October1986.
TheSocietyissupportedbyalargenumberofcentralbanksandcommer
cialbanks,byotherfinancial andbusinessinstitutions,bytreasuryofficials
and by academics and others interested in monetary and financial prob
lems. Since its establishment in 1963 it has developed as a forum for the
exchange ofinformation, research results and ideas, valued by academics
and practitioners in these fields, including central bank officials and civil
servants responsible for formulating and applying monetary and financial
policies, national and international. A major'activity of SUERF is to
organize and conduct Colloquia on subjectsoftopicalinterestto itsmem
bers. The titles, placesanddatesofpreviousColloquiafor whichvolumes
of the collected papers were published are noted on the last page ofthis
volume. Volumes were not produced for Colloquia held at Tarragona,
SpaininOctober 1970underthe title 'MonetaryPolicyandNewDevelop
mentsinBanking'andatStrasbourg,FranceinJanuary1972underthetitle
'AspectsofEuropeanMonetaryUnion'.
The previousSUERFColloquium, atCambridgeinMarch 1985, had as
its subject 'ShiftingFrontiers in Financial Markets'. For the presentocca
siontheCouncilofSUERFwasconcernedwithfrontiers whichare notso
much shifting as disappearingorbeingdismantled- the frontiers between
national economies in their monetary and financial activities - under the
heading'InternationalMonetaryandFinancialIntegration- theEuropean
Dimension'. Attentionwasfocused onfouraspects: thefunctioningofthe
EuropeanMonetarySystem;relationshipsbetweentheEMSandothercur
rencies, and the world monetary system; the costs and benefitsofgreater
financial integration in Europe; and the implementation offinancial inte
grationinEurope: capitalflows andfinancialservices.
The Colloquium was attended by 166participants, representing a wide
x
range of financial activities and academic teaching and research in the
financial field. The Chairman ofthe Colloquium asawhole was the Presi
dentofSUERF,MrJ.R. Sargent. Afterhisintroductoryremarks,opening
addressesweregivenbyMrJacquesSanter,PrimeMinisterofLuxembourg
and Dr Ernst-Gunther Broder, President of the European Investment
Bank. At the Colloquium dinner an address was given by Mr Jean Guill,
Director of the Institut Monetaire Luxembourgeois. These contributions
appear in Part A of this volume, Chapters I-IV. The contributed papers
which follow had been distributed beforehand and were discussed in four
separate Commissions meeting simultaneously. The themes of the Com
missionswere: 'EuropeanMonetaryArrangements: theirFunctioningand
Future', chaired by Dr H.E. Scharrer and Professor NielsThygesen (Part
B, Chapters V-IX); 'Relationships with Other Currencies and the World
Monetary System' chaired by Dr Warren McClam and Mr Conrad Reuss
(Part C, ChaptersX-XIV); 'Costs and Benefits ofFinancial Integrationin
Europe' chaired by Mr Michel Lutfalla and Professor Jacques J. Sijben
(Part D, ChaptersXV-XVIII); and 'ImplementationofFinancial Integra
tioninEurope: CapitalFlowsandFinancialServices'chairedbyMrRobert
PiloyandProfessorJ.S.G. Wilson(PartE,ChaptersXIX-XXII).TheCol
loquium reassembled for a final plenary session at which a report on the

peanInvestmentBank, KredietbankLuxembourg, BanqueInternationale
a

The Colloquium was highly successful not only in the quality of the
papers but also in the opportunity it provided for contacts and discussion
between experts from many different countries and financial institutions.
