OUPCORRECTEDPROOF–FINAL,30/8/2016,SPi Preface In the wake of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008–10, regulators and policymakers around the world sought to restructure the environment within which financial institutions operate. The goal was to make more transparentandmoreconsistenttheregulationsandmonitoringinfrastruc- ture of institutions such as banks, insurers, pension funds, and asset man- agers. The financial sector meltdown also spurred efforts to reassess how accountingsystemshandlereportingofassetsandliabilities,particularlyfor long-termpromisessuchaspensions. In this, our newest volume in the Pension Research Council/Oxford University Press series, we take stock of these changes and consider how theywillalterhowbothbanksandnonbankswilloperateinthefuture.We alsoevaluatewhatthepossibleunintendedeffectsmaybeforothermarkets and segments of the economy as well. Lessons from the international experiences are germane, since there is still no fully global harmonization ofregulationsandpractice.Ourvolumewillinterestemployeesandretirees, consumers and researchers, and financial institutions working to design betterretirementplanofferings.
