    Efectos regionales de la crisis financiera para los sistemas bancarios brasileños y españoles.
    (2016) Silva, Fernanda Faria; Crocco, Marco; Santos, Fabiana Borges Teixeira dos; Duarte Filho, Marco Antônio
    El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un análisis comparativo de los efectos regionales de la última crisis financiera en los sistemas bancarios brasileño y español. Se identificaron las características de la banca en los dos países y se estableció que en el caso de Brasil todavía persiste una concentración del crédito en las regiones de mayor desarrollo económico, así como mayor preferencia por la liquidez en las regiones periféricas. La crisis financiera ha acentuado este padrón. En el caso español, se esperaba que la segmentación del mercado (con la presencia de los bancos regionales) contribuyera a la mitigación de los efectos de la crisis. Sin embargo, el proceso de reestructuración bancaria ha provocado cambios en el mapa bancário español. El gran número de fusiones, adquisiciones y operaciones ha ampliado la concentración del mercado, reduciendo el crédito en las regiones periféricas, lo que acentúa las disparidades regionales.

    The green transition in emerging economies : green bond issuance in Brazil and China.
    (2022) Deus, Juliana Lima de; Crocco, Marco; Silva, Fernanda Faria
    Green bonds have emerged as an innovative financial instrument that may be used to mobilise incremental resources for long-term financing projects focused on building sustainable infrastructure. In this regard, this article advances research on green bond markets in emerging economies (EEs) by comparing the evolution of the certified green bonds markets in Brazil and China. For this purpose, a mixed analysis was applied. The qualitative analysis is based on a literature review to contextualise the main drivers and barriers to the evolution of the green bond market in light of national policies and features of the financial system in each country. For the quantitative analysis, the certified green bond markets are assessed in terms of the amounts issued as a percentage of the debt securities markets, considering the participation of each issuer type and the allocation of revenue across eligible sectors. Information on certified green bond amounts issued and on debt securities’ markets was obtained from the Climate Bonds Initiative and BIS databases. The results show that the evolution of the Chinese and Brazilian certified green bonds markets remains negligible, in terms of the whole debt securities market. Although green bonds may be considered an important market solution, they still do not provide sufficient resources necessary for a meaningful green transition, especially in EEs. However, findings also show that in China, compared to Brazil, features of the financial system combine with more consolidated green policies to act in favour of scaling up and distributing revenue to crucial sectors to green transition.
