The main purpose of this study was to identify what factors drives the internationalization of companies in the Private Banking industry in Brazil. The methodology used in this research was based on a qualitative approach and had an exploratory nature. A case study of the International Private Bank of Banco Itaú Unibanco SA. was developed. Accordingly to this, 7 semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals who work or have worked in the Private Bank of the selected bank. The main findings in the research were: (i) the business of Private Banking has not yet been the subject of specific analysis by those interested in the internationalization of banks, (ii) it was also identified that the authors that have studied the internationalization of banks did not resort to the Offshore Financial Centers (OFC) to explain the internationalization of financial institutions, this research suggests that it is of fundamental importance to analyze the OFC in order to understand the internationalization of the Private Banking industry, (iii) the main factors influencing the internationalization in the case selected are: the need of providing international financial services for clients from both domestic and international markets, and the search for new markets to expand the customer base, (iv) differently from what was appointed by previous researches, the present study suggested that one possible reason for bank internationalization is to follow domestic client's investments and financial flows made offshore, more than to follow the internationalization of current domestic customers;(v) finally, it is also suggested that the competition of the companies in the Private Banking industry in Brazil is not just related or driven by the international presence of its competitors, but by the capacity of linking different resources from different countries in order to generate value and competitiveness through this international network. / Este trabalho situa-se no campo de Estratégia Empresarial e trata do tema de internacionalização de empresas, mais especificamente da internacionalização no ramo de Private Bank no Brasil. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar um levantamento dos fatores que influenciam a internacionalização de empresas atuantes no ramo de Private Bank no Brasil. Utilizou-se uma metodologia com abordagem qualitativa de natureza exploratória. Foi realizado um estudo de caso do Private Bank Internacional do Banco Itaú Unibanco S.A.. Foram realizadas 7 entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais que atuaram ou atuam no Private Bank do banco selecionado. Os principais resultados encontrados na pesquisa foram: (i) o ramo de Private Bank ainda não foi alvo de análise específica pelos interessados na internacionalização de bancos; (ii) também foi identificado que os autores que estudaram a internacionalização de bancos não recorreram à análise dos Offshore Financial Centers (OFC) para explicar a internacionalização das instituições financeiras, a presente pesquisa propõe que é de fundamental importância a análise dos OFC para o entendimento da internacionalização no ramo de Private Bank; (iii) os principais fatores que influenciaram a internacionalização no caso selecionado são: a busca de fornecimento de serviços financeiros internacionais para os clientes domésticos ou internacionais e a busca de novos mercados para a ampliação da base de clientes; (iv) sugere-se que ao invés do que proposto em outras pesquisas, a internacionalização em bancos não se dá por conta dos bancos seguirem seus clientes fisicamente, mas sim seguirem os investimentos e fluxos financeiros dos clientes; (v) finalmente, sugere-se também que a competição das empresas de Private Bank atuantes no Brasil não se dá somente pela presença internacional, mas sim pela capacidade de interligar recursos diferenciados presentes em diversos países e conseguir gerar valor através dessa rede.

The aim of this thesis is to show how the unconventional monetary policy rounds of Quantitative Easing introduced in the United States between 2008 and 2014 have led to an increase in wealth inequality. The need for the thesis arises due to the uncharted nature of QE and because of more and more information is surfacing to light which points to this connection. By analysing the distribution of these funds and adding it to the then base distribution of money supply, this study was able to determine a significant 10 % increase in the Gini Index. Furthermore it highlights how a large portion of wealth was transferred from the middle class over to the top 5 % income households. Starting from a set of assumptions the calculation is performed by extrapolating the data required and by isolating the system from any external variables. The result is a theoretical model meant to describe the mechanism that links Quantitative Easing to wealth inequality. Moreover a detailed comparison is provided with the effect of a conventional monetary policy such as Open-Market Operations. Finally solutions to this issue are being discussed from economical, political and fiscal standpoints.

L’ objectif principal de cette thèse est de développer une analyse critique de ce qu’on apelle internationalisation regulatoire du système financier brésilien. Celui-ci constitue um phénomène relativement noveau que n’a pas reçu suffisament d’attention. Deux evenements peuvent être considerés comme étant directement responsables pour cette internationalisation: d’une part, la création au niveau mondial d’un accord international de réglementation financière et, d’autre, la substitution (dans les systèmes juridiques européens et brésilien) du modèle de l’Etat Positif par celui de l’Etat Régulateur. L’adoption, par les autorités brésiliennes (Conselho Monetário Nacional et Banco Central) d’un nombre considerable des règles infra-legales fut etayée sur les Recommendations et Standards des organisations internationales. Les decisions de ces organisations ont influencée également le discourse et la philosofie régulatoire des institutions brésiliennes, modifiant les procedures et les pratiques adminitratives internes. Les autorités brésiliennes participent de plus em plus des activités de coopération régulatoire avec des entités étrangères dans le but d’obtenir une homogeneité régulatoire des systèmes finacières. Cette thèse soutient l’hypothèse qu'il existe une singularité distinctive dans la façon dont la régulation financière au Brésil s'est internationalisée, dérivée de l'existence d'une relation fondamentale d'interaction et de complémentarité entre les idées d'internationalisation et de régulation dans le secteur financier brésilien. / O objetivo central desta tese é descrever e analisar criticamente o que chamo de internacionalização regulatória no Sistema Financeiro Nacional, um fenômeno relativamente recente e, em certa medida, ainda subteorizado na academia brasileira. Sustento no presente trabalho que sua manifestação, iniciada no Brasil em meados da década de 1990, está associada a dois acontecimentos que somente ganharam força no último quarto do século passado: a afirmação, em nível global, de um arranjo internacional de regulação financeira e a transição, nos sistemas jurídicos da Europa Ocidental e do Brasil, para o modelo de Estado Regulador. Como consequência direta desses dois acontecimentos, um significativo e crescente conjunto de normas infralegais editadas pelas principais autoridades administrativas financeiras nacionais, o Conselho Monetário Nacional e o Banco Central do Brasil, passou a fundamentar-se em recomendações e padrões regulatórios elaborados por organismos internacionais Da mesma forma, a atuação de organismos internacionais passou a moldar tanto o discurso quanto a filosofia regulatória dos órgãos reguladores brasileiros, transformando procedimentos e práticas administrativas internas. Por fim, as autoridades brasileiras de regulação financeira passaram a se engajar crescentemente em atividades de cooperação regulatória com seus congêneres estrangeiros, em um esforço internacional cujo resultado vem sendo a obtenção de uma maior homogeneização regulatória nos sistemas financeiros nacionais em todo o mundo. Ao descrever e abordar criticamente esse fenômeno, proponho nesta tese a hipótese de que há uma singularidade marcante no modo como a regulação do sistema financeiro no Brasil se internacionalizou, singularidade esta que decorre de uma fundamental relação de interação e complementariedade no modo como as ideias de internacionalização e regulação se afirmaram no universo financeiro brasileiro. / The central goal of this dissertation is to describe and critically analyse how regulatory internationalization took place in the Brazilian Financial System, a relatively recent phenomenon that still didn’t receive proper academical consideration. This dissertation argues that its occurrence, which started during the 1990s, is related to two events that only came into place in the last quarter of the 20th century: the consolidation, on a global level, of an architecture of international financial regulation, and the transition, in Western Europe and Brazil, to the Regulatory State. As a consequence of that, a rising body of infralegal regulations enacted by the Central Bank of Brazil and the National Monetary Council, the two main brazilian financial authorities, began to adopt as its theoretical foundation standards and recommendations made by international bodies. Moreover, the activity of these international bodies became an important influence on brazilian domestic financial regulatory policies, shaping administrative practices and procedures. Lastly, brazilian financial authorities increasingly engaged in international regulatory cooperation with its foreign peers, as part of an effort that resulted in regulatory harmonization in national financial systems throughout the world. This dissertation argues that there is a distinctive singularity in the way financial regulation in Brazil became internationalized, derived from the existence of a foundational relationship of interaction and complementarity between the ideas of internationalization and regulation in the brazilian financial sector.

The purpose of this study is to develop an indebtedness framework that explains the effects of financialisation and household indebtedness on economic development. For this purpose, the study empirically examines annual South African data covering the years 1990-2017 to look at the effect of financialisation before and after the 2007/08 financial crisis. South Africa adopted an inflation targeting monetary policy regime in the 1990s before the global economic crisis in response to the global financial crisis of 2007-08. Examining data from 1990-2017 made it possible to look at the effects of financial deregulation policies that were introduced post the 2007-08 financial meltdown. The study addressed three objectives. The first objective sought to establish the extent of financialisation in the South African economy pre and post the 2008 financial crisis. To achieve this objective, annual time series data from 1990-2017 on financialisation variables was split into two, before and after the financial crisis. Graphical presentations of the four financialisation variables (financial deregulation, foreign financial inflows, asset price volatility, and shift to market-based finance) showed that there was a difference in financialisation before and after the 2008 financial crisis. Analysis of variance showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the foreign financial inflows’ series before and after the financial meltdown of 2008 (t-test value -6.527, p ≤ 0.0001). (1990-2008). The findings also showed that there was no statistically significant difference between asset price volatility before and after the financial meltdown of 2008. Interestingly, there is a statistically significant difference between stock market value traded in the period from 1990-2008 and 20092017 after the financial crisis (t = -4.295, p ≤0.001). The second objective sought to examine the causal direction between financialisation and household indebtedness. Contrary to a priori expectations, the findings showed that financial deregulation, foreign financial inflows and shift to market-based finance do not Granger cause indebtedness. However, the findings showed that the null hypothesis that asset price does not Granger cause household indebtedness was rejected. This implies that there is a causal direction between asset price volatility and household indebtedness Lastly, the third objective of this study was to explain the effects of financialisation and indebtedness on economic development to inform the indebtedness framework that this study set out to develop. Using annual data for the period of 1990 to 2017, the third objective was addressed by examining the effect of household indebtedness and financialisation on economic development. These effects were tested using OLS regression and error correction modelling technique (ECM) for each of the four financialisation variable: (1) financial deregulation measured using the financial reform index; (2) foreign financial inflows measured using stock of foreign liabilities as percentage of GDP; (3) asset price volatility; and (4) shift to market-based finance, measured using stock market value traded as percentage of GDP. The findings showed that foreign financial inflows and asset price index when regressed with household indebtedness showed a statistically significant effect on economic development in a long-run model. The indebtedness framework was duly presented showing that economic development is likely to be negatively and strongly affected by financialisation as experienced in asset price volatility and foreign financial inflows. / Graduate School of Business Leadership / D.B.L.

Suite à la crise financière de 2007, les outils de politique monétaire conventionnelle se sont avérés insuffisants pour stabiliser l'économie et empêcher la diffusion de la crise financière. Les banques centrales ont de fait mis en place des politiques monétaires non conventionnelles. L’objectif de cette thèse est de participer à la compréhension théorique et empirique des politique monétaires non conventionnelles en concentrant nos efforts de modélisation sur la nature non-linéaire de la crise financière. Les deux premiers chapitres de cette thèse développent des modèles DSGE incorporant des contraintes de crédit occasionnellement saturées de manière à capturer la nature transitoire des phénomènes de crise. Dans le premier chapitre - obtenu dans un cadre d'économie fermée - un résultat notable est que les politiques d’assouplissement quantitatif diminuent bien l’amplitude de la crise, mais augmentent sa durée. Dans le deuxième chapitre, lorsque l’on implémente des programmes d’assouplissement quantitatif au niveau d'une union monétaire hétérogène constituée de deux pays, se pose le problème des hétérogénéités entre les pays membres de cette union. Nous trouvons qu’il est toujours plus intéressant pour la banque centrale de concentrer ses achats de titres dans les pays de l’union les plus touchés par la crise financière. De plus, un niveau intermédiaire d’intégration financière permet de minimiser les conséquences de la crise au niveau de l’union monétaire dans son ensemble. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous utilisons un modèle Markov-Switching VAR Bayésien pour comparer l’efficacité des politiques d’assouplissement quantitatif en période de crise et en période normale. Alors que les programmes d’assouplissement quantitatif sont particulièrement efficaces en période de crise, nous ne trouvons aucun effet significatif de ces programmes sur les variables macroéconomiques lorsque l'économie retourne à son état initial. / Following the 2007 financial crisis, conventional monetary policy tools prooved insufficient to stabilize the macroeconomy and to avoid a financial disruption. As a consequence, central banks relied more heavily on unconventional monetary policy tools. This thesis aims at contributing to the understanding of unconventional monetary policy tools, focusing on the inherently non-linear nature of financial crises. In the first two chapters, we use DSGE models with occasionally binding credit constraints to account for the transitory nature of financial disruption events. In chapter one, in the case of a closed economy, we find that quantitative easing decreases the magnitude of the crisis but increases its duration. Still, when looking for intertemporal effects of quantitative easing programs, it appears that they are always welfare improving. In chapter two, when implementing quantitative easing on a two country monetary union, comes the question of how to deal with heterogeneities between members. We find that it is always better to implement nationaly tailored quantitative easing programs. Finally, an intermediate degree of financial integration proves optimal to dampen the macroeconomic consequences of the financial crisis on the overall monetary union. In the third chapter, we use a Markov-Switching Bayesian VAR model to compare the efficiency of quantitative easing in normal times versus financial crisis times. While quantitative easing programs are highly efficient during financial crisis times, we find no significant effect of these programs when the economy goes back to normal times.

This dissertation collects three essays which deal with financial development in emerging markets. Owing to the appliance of different econometric methods on several data sets, insights in the behavior of and the impacts from financial markets are generated. Usually, the financial markets in emerging countries are characterized by the presence of credit constraints. In the first chapter it is shown that the financial development in 19th century Germany generally affected the economy in a positive way. Additionally, when different economic sectors are under investigation, it is revealed that the reaction due to financial development is not homogeneously across the sectors. A structural vector autoregression (VAR) framework is applied to a new annual data set from 1870 to 1912 that was initially compiled by Walther Hoffmann (1965). With respect to the literature, the most important difference of this analysis is the focus on different sectors in the economy and the interpretation of the results in the context of a two-sector growth model. It is revealed that all sectors were affected significantly by shocks from the banking system. Interestingly, this link is the strongest in sectors with small or non-tradable-goods-producing firms, such as construction, services, transportation and agriculture. In this regard, the growth patterns in 19th century Germany are reminiscent to those in today's emerging markets. The second chapter deals with the integration of the stock markets of mainland China with those of the United States and Hong Kong. Market integration and the resulting welfare gains as risk sharing, increasing investment and growth benefits has become a central topic in international finance research. This chapter investigates stock market integration after stock market liberalization which is assessed by spillover effects from Hong Kong and the United States to Chinese stock market indices. Dividing the sample in pre- and post-liberalization phases, causality in variance procedure is applied using four mainland China stock market indices, two indices of the stock exchange in Hong Kong and the Dow Jones Industrials index in the main part. Evidence of global and regional integration is found, but no evidence for increasing integration after the partial opening of the Chinese stock markets, neither with Hong Kong nor with the United States. Based on the idea presented in the first chapter, the third chapter examines one of today's emerging markets. As China is experiencing remarkable economic growth in the recent decades, it is analyzed if and to what extent the ongoing deregulations in the financial system contribute to this development. Structural VARs for gross domestic product as well as for sectoral output data in conjunction with two different bank lending variables are applied. It is indicated that China is positive affected by financial development and that all sectors benefit from domestic bank lending enlargements but to different degrees. Especially in the sectors where mainly state-owned enterprises are represented - such as construction, trade and transportation - shocks in bank lending have a strong positive influence while sectors where private enterprises are prevalent, seem to be more credit constrained.

The capital market, with financial instruments such as corporate bonds, has over the last years emerged as an alternative financing source for Swedish real estate companies. A seemingly unexplored market which given the real estate companies the possibility to diversify their loan stock and limit their exposure towards the bank. In Sweden, unlike more market-oriented countries such as the US, commercial banks have historically almost exclusively supplied debt capital to Swedish corporations. Assessing credit risk is crucial in debt investments, and therefore, this thesis focuses on the Swedish capital market the current and potential future role of credit ratings in the emerging market for corporate bonds issued by real estate companies. We examine why only a limited number of real estate companies are credit rated today and the importance of credit rating for the capital market. The study is based on interviews with Swedish real estate companies, institutional investors and banks- all that in one-way ore an other is affected by credit rating. The Swedish financial system is undergoing a growth process where the real estate companies to a greater extent in using bonds and certificates to finance their investments. A financing method more widely used by government entities in the past. The transition from bank financing to funding investments through institutional investors and private equity appears to be permanent. The market aftermath is an increased demand for credit risk evaluations. Information retained from the banks’ Shadow ratings or the rating institutions. We can conclude that extended credit risk information is inescapable with a transition to a more market oriented financial system- the remaining question is- who should preform the valuation of the credit risk. If the banks continue making the credit risk reports of real estate companies international investors might refrain from establishing a position as an investor in the Swedish market. In the contrary the banks shaded ratings is more favourable for Swedish real estate companies with more qualitative and marked adjusted reports. The market will require independent credit information in the future but if it will be the banks or the rating institutions that provide this information is still uncertain. / Kapitalmarknaden med finansiella instrument som företagsobligationer och –certifikat har de senaste åren vuxit fram som en alternativ lånemarknad för svenska fastighetsbolag. Från att ha varit en förhållandevis outforskad marknad har de senaste årens utveckling gett fastighetsbolagen en bättre möjlighet att diversifiera sin lånestock och begränsa sin exponering mot bankerna. Till skillnad från mer kapitalmarknadsorienterade länder, som exempelvis USA, har företags behov av lånefinansiering i Sverige historiskt sett nästan uteslutande försetts av bankerna. Denna uppsats fokuserar på den svenska kapitalmarknadens fortsatta utveckling och officiell kreditratings betydelse på en växande kapitalmarknad. Vi utreder varför så få fastighetsbolag idag valt att införskaffa ett officiellt kreditbetyg och vilken betydelse kreditbetyget har för kapitalmarknaden. Undersökningen bygger på intervjuer med svenska fastighetsbolag, investerare och banker som alla, på ett eller annat sätt, berörs av kreditvärderingar. Det svenska finansiella systemet genomgår nu en utveckling där fastighetsbolagen använder obligationer och certifikat för att finansiera sina investeringar. Ett finansieringssätt som tidigare mestadels använts av statliga och kommunala fastighetsbolag. Övergången från bankfinansiering till att söka kapital bland privata och institutionella investerare förefaller vara bestående. Marknaden kan till följd av detta få behov av ytterligare information om kreditrisken i företagen. Information som erhålls från bankernas skuggratingar eller från kreditvärderingsinstituten. Vi kan konstatera att utökad kreditinformation är ofrånkomlig vid en övergång mot ett mer marknadsorienterat finansiellt system, frågan som kvarstår är vem som ska utföra kreditvärderingen. Fortsätter bankerna utföra kreditvärderingen av fastighetsbolag kan det resultera i en avhållsamhet från internationella investerare att etablera sig i Sverige och motsatt för fastighetsbolagen är det mer gynnsamt att bankerna, med sina mer kvalitativa och för svenska marknaden anpassade värderingar blir den framtida normen .

[pt] Este artigo analisa o uso de crédito durante a pandemia Covid-19 no contexto de um programa de transferência de renda. Sob uma abordagem Diferença em Diferenças, eu mostro evidências causais de como a implementação de um programa de transferência de renda impactou os padrões de uso de crédito da população, usando um conjunto combinado de microdados: SISFOH (um sistema de focalização familiar), a pesquisa domiciliar nacional e o registro de crédito para o Perú. Explorando uma descontinuidade na regra de concessão de renda emergencial à população mais pobre, mostro que os indivíduos que receberam um subsídio monetário aumentaram seu total de empréstimos no sistema financeiro, ao contrário daqueles que não o fizeram. Isso é preocupante, pois também se apresenta um aumento nas taxas de juros e dias de atraso. Além disso, também exploro algumas dimensões da heterogeneidade populacional (educação, idade, gênero, informalidade, entre outras), encontrando um impacto diferenciado de acordo com certas características dos indivíduos. Fiz um esforço especial na análise da informalidade, pois, mesmo na ausência de uma identificação exógena, essa variável apresenta resultados significativos e passa em certos testes de identificação. / [en] This paper analyzes the use of credit during the Covid-19 pandemic in the context of a cash transfer program. Under a Difference-in-Differences approach, I show causal evidence of how the implementation of a cash transfer program impacted the population s credit use patterns, using a combined set of microdata: SISFOH (a household targeting system), the national household survey, and the credit register for Peru. Exploring a discontinuity in the rule for granting emergency income to the poorest population, I show that individuals who received a monetary subsidy increased their total lending in the financial system, in contrast to those individuals who did not. This is worrisome as it is also presented an increase in the interest rates and days of arrears. Furthermore, I also explore some dimensions of population heterogeneity (education, age, gender, informality, among others), finding a differentiated impact according to certain characteristics of individuals. I put a special effort into the informality analysis since, even in the absence of an exogenous identification, this variable presents significant results and passes certain tests of identification.

This is a study of how knowledge producing actors, like professors of economics, ecological economics and investigators at public institutions, portray the monetary system in general and fractional reserve banking specifically. The methodology of Political Discourse Analysis, with focus on argumentation and legitimisation, is used to identify and compare how different actors portray the monetary system. The outcome shows that there exist competing knowledge discourses that are diametrically different in how they define keywords and describe the relation between the monetary system, societal power relations and environmental impact. Some important concepts under academic debate include the origin of money, which actor (the state or commercial banks) controls the money supply and seigniorage (money issuer’s revenue), if private banks really are intermediaries and multiply central bank money, and if interest-bearing money is a cause of socioecological unsustainability. By critically analysing the moral norms within knowledge discourses that otherwise might be naturalised as portraying ‘facts’ or ‘truth’, this thesis helps identify needs for further research – especially regarding how the financial system can be better adapted for socioecological sustainability.

O aprofundamento das diferenças entre a contabilidade e as normas tributárias tornou o crescimento do ativo fiscal diferido, resultante da alocação dos efeitos tributários das diferenças temporárias entre os dois sistemas contábeis, um problema a ser enfrentado pelas autoridades monetárias. Entre os principais métodos de alocação de impostos entre períodos, a alocação parcial é o método que produz um ativo fiscal diferido mais condizente com os fundamentos econômicos. As autoridades monetárias têm procurado limitar o crescimento do ativo fiscal diferido nas instituições financeiras por meio de procedimentos extracontábeis, em grande parte porque a alocação utilizada em muitos países, inclusive no Brasil, é a alocação abrangente. Os normativos contábeis sobre o ativo fiscal diferido e as legislações bancárias correlatas dos EUA e do Brasil são analisados e comparados, além de apresentados os números agregados do ativo fiscal diferido no Sistema Financeiro Nacional. A base de dados utilizada foi o Sistema de Informações do Banco Central, o que permitiu que todos os integrantes do Sistema Financeiro Nacional fossem coletivamente pesquisados. Os números obtidos mostram que, a partir do ano de 1997, quando aumentou o fosso entre contabilidade e normas tributárias, sobretudo em virtude da indedutibilidade da maioria das provisões, houve crescimento contínuo do ativo fiscal diferido no conjunto das instituições financeiras brasileiras. Com isso, as normas bancárias relativas à adequação de capital ficaram mais rígidas e afastadas da contabilidade. Este trabalho tem a finalidade de propor um método de alocação baseado na alocação parcial, mas não como usualmente praticada. As instituições financeiras, baseadas em estudos técnicos, determinam, hoje, as diferenças temporárias que originam o ativo fiscal diferido. Pela característica de interdependência com todos os setores econômicos que o sistema financeiro possui, além da baixa qualidade do ativo fiscal diferido quanto à sua liquidez, o Banco Central passa, segundo a proposta, a ter papel pró-ativo na alocação de impostos. O Banco Central passa a determinar as diferenças temporárias que originarão o ativo fiscal diferido, a ser obtido pela alocação parcial especificada pela autarquia. A alocação parcial nesses moldes resultaria não só no reconhecimento contábil do ativo fiscal diferido em bases econômicas, pois as diferenças temporárias consideradas no seu cômputo teriam a chancela da possibilidade de reversão firmada pelo próprio Banco Central, mas também na aproximação entre as normas de adequação de capital e a contabilidade, pois o ativo fiscal diferido no agregado do Sistema Financeiro Nacional possivelmente ficaria em nível naturalmente tolerável para fins de aferição da solvabilidade das instituições financeiras. / The deepening of the differences between accounting and tax rules turned the growing in the deferred tax asset, resulting from the tax allocation of the temporary differences between the two accounting systems, into a problem for monetary authorities. Among the main interperiod tax allocation methods, the partial provision method for deferred taxes yields a more suitable deferred tax asset according to economic fundamentals. Monetary authorities have tried to limit the deferred taxes from growing in the financial institutions through off-balance-sheet procedures, especially because many countries, including Brazil, use the comprehensive (full) method of accounting for deferred taxes. Accounting standards on deferred taxes and American and Brazilian regulatory rules are analyzed and compared and the aggregate numbers of the deferred tax asset in the National Financial System are presented. Data were obtained from the Brazilian Central Bank database, which allowed for a survey of all National Financial System components. The resulting features show that, from fiscal year 1997 onwards, when the gap between accounting and tax rules deepened, especially due to the fact that most of provisions became indeductible for tax purposes, a continuous growth in deferred tax assets has occurred in Brazilian banks. Consequently, the Brazilian regulatory capital rules have become stricter and more distant from accounting. This study aims to propose a method of accounting for income taxes based on the partial provision method, but not like the partial method usually practiced. Nowadays, based on technical studies, banks determine the deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences chosen by the banks themselves. Thanks to the financial market’s interdependency with other economic sectors, besides the low liquidity of deferred tax assets, according to the objective, the Brazilian Central Bank starts to play a pro-active role in the tax allocation process. Based on the partial method, the Central Bank will determine which timing differences will give rise to the deferred tax asset. The partial provision method thus achieved would result not only in a deferred tax record on an economic basis, because the reversal of the considered temporary differences would have the official seal of the Central Bank, but it would also provide for a shorter distance between the regulatory capital treatment of deferred tax assets and accounting principles, since the total deferred tax asset recorded in the National Financial System would possibly stay at a naturally tolerable level for regulatory capital purposes.
