Abstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the application of Liquidity and Credit Risk management, as dictated by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) towards banking institutions, upon non-bank financial institutions in Honduras. An investigation of the history of banking regulations as well as regulations of non-bank financial institutions in Honduras is performed alongside an empirical analysis of the practices recommended by the BIS and their impact upon their application in non-bank financial institutions are presented. The last part of this study encompasses a case study based on the application of risk management practices upon a non-bank financial institution primarily engaged in lending in Honduras.
