prudential regulation is An appropriate legal framework for financial operations is a significant contributor to preventing or minimising financial sector problems. Evidence shows that the absence of prudential regulations in some key areas can lead to bank failures and systemic instability, while establishing sound, clear and easily monitored rules for financial activities both encourages managers to run their institutions better and facilitates the work of supervisors. A major weakness of some financial systems is the fact that various financial institutions, especially cooperatives and intermediaries in rural areas, operate completely outside prudential regulations. Some countries have one single general banking law, which tries to assemble all regulations, but in many countries the operational issues are left to statutory notes, circulars or even simply the routine decisions of the supervisory institution. Various other laws can have an impact on the operation of financial institutions, e.g. company laws, securities laws, debt recovery laws and laws on liquidation and bankruptcy.
