Legal Regulation of and Influence of International Institutions on Financial Markets
pages 87 - 98
ABSTRACT:

This paper attempts to offer a theoretical view on the regulation of the financial market. It focuses on the influence that international institutions, especially the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, have on the regulation of the financial market.

As we presume readers of the paper are unaware of Czech financial market regulations and theoretical points of view on legal regulation of the financial market, the opening portion of the paper will bring to their attention several fundamental pieces of information to introduce to them these topics.

The next part of the paper concentrates on the supervision of the financial market in general, its branches and its aims and will address the situation concerning financial market supervision in the Czech Republic.

The last part of the paper will be briefly dedicated to the influence of international organisations on financial market regulation, especially in the Czech Republic. The authors will focus on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and its influence on European Union legislation and on Czech legal rules on the financial market.
