Abstract

Financial deregulations or financial liberalization can be referred to a variety of changes in the law which allows financial institutions more freedom in how they compete. Whether deregulations are beneficial or harmful to the economy has been widely debated.This paper investigates the effect of financial globalization on the incidence of systemic bank crises in developing countries by using measures of the financial openness. The liberalization trend in the global scale starting with the Washington Consensus has been influential on financial markets and the banking sector. Financial liberalization and uncontrolled expansion of international capital movements has led to the diversification and acceleration of the global financial crisis. Thus, ?financial deregulations? which offered as a solution to the debt crisis experienced in the 1980s has led to a new financial crisis in 2010's. An increase in foreign debt liabilities contributes to an increase in the incidence of crises, but foreign direct investment and portfolio equity liabilities have also the opposite effect. This paper discusses how financial liberalization could contribute to financal crises and macroeconomic instabilitiy in the developing countries. For this aim, we analyze empirically a database from developing countries to test the effect of financial openness on macroeconomic indicators. As the dependent variable, we use a variable which take the value of one in the year of a banking crisis. To estimate the indicators of financial crises, main explanatory variables which are employed in the specifications are financial openness, current account balances, exchange rate regime, inflation, trade openness and percent change in GDP. In the introduction to this paper examines the process of liberalization. Second part; banking system and its features are analyzed during the Global financial Crisis. In the third section the historical development of financial crisis and measure of financial liberalization are discussed.In the final part of the paper of financial liberalization and financial crisis the relationship between macro-economic indicators are examined.
