The civil unrest as an obstacle toward financial development in Georgia, 1991–2007

Georgia has been experiencing robust GDP growth since the Rose Revolution despite its formal financial system remaining critically underdeveloped. This goes against a strongly supported proposition that a country’s economic development is followed by a well-developed and efficient financial system. In this paper we first explain the shallow financial deepening in Georgia and show that the economic growth in Georgia has been driven by such determinants as public spending and construction works mainly supported by foreign debt and FDI inflow. This paper further argues that prolonged civil conflict is one of the critical obstacles toward financial development in Georgia. Bank lending activity is associated with high level of uncertainty stemming from recurrent civil war. Newly privatized commercial banks are excessively cautious in expanding their loan assets to private non-financial corporations due mainly to the banks’ inability to precisely assess borrower’s risk involving not only with individual financial soundness but also with political uncertainty.

刑法规制高利转贷行为的合理性分析 ——以高利转贷银行贷款行为为对象

高利转贷罪作为一种侵害信贷秩序的犯罪,根据当前银行贷款业和民间借贷的发展现状仍有适用的空间和必要性,提倡废止该罪在可行性和必要性上均缺乏充足理由和实证素材支撑。通过分析2012 年至2018 年的高利转贷罪刑事判决书可以发现,司法实践中对高利转贷犯罪的打击既体现出此类犯罪作案难度低、非法盈利空间大等特点,也反映出刑事司法还未完全适应社会控制此类犯罪的需求,银行贷款业的行政监管和刑事司法衔接还存在一定缝隙。现阶段应严格限制银行贷款对不合法高利贷资金的供给,严厉打击套取银行政策性贷款的行为,同时完善刑法与金融法的衔接。     

Outlook for the ‘developing country’ category: a paradox of demise and continuity

In the 2016 edition of its World Development Indicators (WDI), the World Bank introduced an important change in the way it categorises countries: it explicitly stated the intention to eliminate the distinction of countries as ‘developing’ and ‘developed’. This decision represents the first time one of the world’s most powerful and influential international organisation has overtly decided to move away from this fuzzy-yet-ubiquitous terminology for categorising countries (and not proposing to replace the division). This paper takes this shift to discuss country groupings based on development levels, particularly the ‘developed’/’developing’ dichotomy, focusing on the latter term. The paper argues for a paradoxical scenario, wherein the label ‘developing’ will increasingly become analytically useless while concurrently retaining – or even strengthening – its power in the context of foreign policy strategies. The analysis details the motives behind this paradox and provides a reasoning for when and why the term’s usage is likely to be weakened or strengthened. Simply put, the ‘developed’/’developing’ dichotomy is weakening in its analytical capacity, mostly due to the increasing heterogeneity among countries under the ‘developing’ label and concurrent porosity of ‘boundaries’ between the two categories, while showing little sign of being phased as a term for self-identification.     

我国涉外民商事诉讼管辖权制度的完善

我国现行民事诉讼法有关涉外民商事诉讼管辖权的规定实施已15个春秋,面对新形势下日趋复杂的涉外民商事法律关系以及轰轰烈烈的民事司法改革大潮显然已捉襟见肘。鉴于十届全国人大常委会已将民事诉讼法的修改纳入本届人大立法规划内,这无疑为完善我国涉外民商事诉讼管辖权制度提供了难得的契机。对该制度作一全方位的扫描,着重分析其亟需弥补的缺陷与不足,推动我国国际私法学界对这些问题的深入研究,并对民事诉讼法的修改工作产生持续、有效的影响,是极为必要的。

世行营商环境调查背景下的中国动产担保交易法

世界银行营商环境调查中的获得信贷--合法权利保护力度指数,用于考察一国动产担保交易法是否有利于企业融资。本指标中国连续六年只得4分(满分12分)。世行鼓励的动产担保法代表着该领域的国际趋势。对照世行获得信贷便利度指标,中国在动产担保交易领域的法律状况存在很大的改进空间。中国动产担保交易法应顺应国际趋势,进行一系列的改革措施。在此领域,民法典草案虽然向功能主义迈进了一步,但还不充分,未来需要通过立法以及法律解释对此进一步完善。现行法下担保权益延伸的规则存在较大缺陷,应扩大担保标的物上代位的范围,完善担保物被转卖、被混合、附合和加工场合的担保权益延伸规则。中国应将动产担保登记机构统一化,并应准许动产担保权益的私人执行以及放开流担保。
