Examples of unregulated activities by regulated institutions include credit default swaps and collateral loan obligations.

  • In post-conflict states, This house prefers a centralist to a consociational model of governance

    Infoslide

    In political theory, two contrasting approaches to governance are consociationalism and centralism. Consociational governance refers to a model where political power is deliberately shared among distinct social groups—such as those divided by ethnicity, religion, or language. It often includes mechanisms like group- based representation, mutual vetoes, segmental autonomy, and coalition governments to ensure each group participates in state decision-making. Centralist governance refers to a system where political authority is concentrated in a single, unified central government. Decision-making power is held primarily at the national level, and regional or local units have limited autonomy. Centralist models typically emphasize uniform policies and institutions across the entire state. Both models are used around the world in varying forms depending on a country’s historical, social, and political context.

  • This house supports the implementation of central bank digital currency (CBDC) by developing countries

    Infoslide

    A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a form of digital currency issued by a country's central bank. It is similar to cryptocurrencies, except that its value is fixed by the central bank and is equivalent to the country's fiat currency. Many countries are developing CBDCs, which can be used for both wholesale and retail purposes. An increase in the use of a CBDC comes at the direct tradeoff to the use of the country's physical cash.
