Which of the following constitutes a major structural limitation of this traditional financial system compared to formal non-bank financial institutions?

  1. It lacks formal legal framework and regulatory mechanism to enforce compliance or recover funds in case of default.Cevap
  2. B
    It is legally restricted from investing members' pooled contributions into productive commercial activities.
  3. C
    It is mandated by law to maintain a minimum liquidity reserve ratio with the Central Bank.
  4. D
    It expands total money supply within the economy by issuing cheque books to its members.

Cevap

The main structural limitation of traditional financial systems like Esusu is that they lack a formal legal framework and statutory regulatory mechanism to enforce compliance or legally recover funds when a member defaults.
Traditional financial arrangements, such as rotating credit associations (Esusu), rely on social cohesion and mutual trust rather than formal legal contracts. If a member defaults after collecting their pool, the group lacks statutory regulatory mechanisms or legal instruments to recover the money.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the operational framework of traditional financial systems (e.g., Esusu/Adashi).
Recognize that traditional systems operate informally based on custom, personal relationships, and social trust.
Understanding the basis of traditional credit schemes helps identify their vulnerabilities.
2
Compare traditional systems with formal non-bank financial institutions.
Formal institutions operate under statutory regulation (such as corporate laws and oversight bodies), offering legal protection to depositors.
Differentiating informal arrangements from statutory financial entities highlights legal and operational boundaries.
3
Identify the main limitation resulting from this informal structure.
In cases of fraud or default, members cannot rely on regulatory financial bodies or straightforward legal recourse to recover funds.
Absence of legal backing and institutional regulation is the fundamental drawdown of traditional credit pooling.
