The current global economic crisis has highlighted the need for effective regulation of the financial services sector. In this book Kenneth Mwenda investigates the regulation of the banking sector in Zambia. Apart from providing a thorough exposition and critique of the legal aspects of banking regulation in that country, the book serves as an example of the kind of work that needs to be done with respect to banking regulation in other African countries and indeed developing countries in general. As such it is an informative tool to those preoccupied with the supervision of banks and financial institutions, including domestic and international policy makers and legislators, everywhere.
