Untiring Miklós Pulai, who died last year at the age of 94, will be remembered among the great minds of Hungarian economic and banking history for his outstanding professional achievements. He played a decisive role in the establishment of the two-tier banking system operating under market conditions. Part of his work as a banker was linked to the Hungarian Banking Association as its secretary general right from its foundation in 1989 till 2000, while he helped its activities almost until his death. This paper is to honour Miklós Pulai’s contribution to the activities of the Hungarian Banking Association. To understand it, the importance of his achievements we must give a brief overview of the economic and social context and the processes he was an active formative participant in.

Abstract In 2008 the European Central Bank added a new quantitative policy strategy to its traditional control of the interest rates. This new policy, sometimes called “enhanced credit support”, consists of fully satisfying the demand for liquidity of banks, with the European Central Bank deciding only the timing and characteristics of its interventions. This study analyses the market conditions in which these measures have been taken and their consistency with the demand for liquidity by the banking system. Measures in favour of the sovereign debt of PIIGS countries are also considered.

Augustine’s views on state (and church) It is no easy task to assess Augustine’s views on state and church as there are as many interpretations as there are interpreters to these issues. From a study of Augustine himself, and especially his De civitate dei, it becomes evident that he did not follow the Manichean, Donatist or Tertullian view of total separation, neither the Origean, Eusebian or Ambrosian view of (a close) co-operation, but that he developed his own view which can be typified as critical realism. Sin, social context and the kingdom of God played a decisive role in forming his final perspectives – although we have to admit that in the Donatist disputes Augustine’s attitude was very controversial.

The considerable renewal of interest in all aspects of financial history over recent years provided one motivation for this new venture. Yet, the foundations for our specialism, which draws from both History and the Social Sciences, especially economics, have been laid by many. Some would point to continuity in our interest from the publication in the 1930s of jubilee banking history volumes, such as those written for British institutions by Gregory, and by Crick and Wadsworth. Further scholarly momentum came from the studies in comparative banking history undertaken by researchers inspired and brought together by Rondo Cameron from the mid-1960s. Upon these footings and others, financial history has since ‘taken off’ to address an increasingly wider range of issues. This considerable broadening of the specialism, ironically, almost coincided with the decline and then the eventual demise in 1987 of theRevue Internationale d'Histoire de la Banque, founded in 1968. This is not the place to draw up a balance sheet of that journal, which has played a decisive role. Its demise, however, left a gap.Financial History Reviewaims not only to take up its cause, but also to widen the scope of publishing in the field – from banking to financial history – in order to offer the fullest possible support for continuing research.

Nowadays, due to the huge deterioration of the environment, not only human beings but also the day-to-day business environment suffers adversely. Hence, the “Go Green” behaviour becomes a globally accepted direction of every individual and business. “Go Green” is an earth-friendly living approach and banks play a decisive role in safeguarding the environment to make our livelihood better. As there is an emerging trend to update traditional banking system with green banking strategies in the modern banking system, bank employees are directed to play a vital behavioural role (Norton, Parker, Zacher, & Ashkanasy, 2015) to keep better banking practices, more environmentally friendly, to have bank sustainability performance. Therefore, this study critically examines the relationships between Green banking practices (GBP), Employee green behaviour (EGB), and Sustainability performance of banks (SPB) in the Sri Lankan context. This study specifically examines the mediating role of EGB in the relationship between GBP and SPB. The results confirm the partial mediation role of EGB in the relationship between GBP to SPB. Moreover, both direct and indirect effects of mediation analysis reveal the same direction, significantly. This study becomes vital for understanding the mediating role of EGB, empirically between GBP and SPB.

In the current market conditions, there is intense competition among companies operating in the same industry. One of the newest and most effective ways to promote companies in the market is to develop a personal brand of the leader. The personal brand of the head of the company leaves an imprint on the company. The personal brand of the head is correlated with the name of the company; there are many examples of this: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Oleg Tinkov, Andrey Kurpatov and many others. A well-created personal brand is considered an excellent tool in promoting a product, attracting a target audience and resources for the company, and also for increasing the company’s competitiveness. A personal brand allows one to demonstrate not only individual advantages of the person as a company leader, but also the strengths of the company. With the help of a personal brand, the company can be distinguished from competitors; besides, the brand can help to increase the cost of goods and services, as well as the company as a whole. Personal brand is one of the most influential aspects on the «life» of a company in the modern world; sometimes it allows solving company problems and plays a decisive role in the development of a company. Currently, the topic of “personal brand” remains largely unexplored. Many researchers have attempted to create a methodology for forming a personal brand, for example, there are many different strategies for forming it. In connection with the above, it is relevant to systematize information on this topic. The article analyzes the definitions “brand” and “personal brand”, studies the influence of the personal brand of the head on the company’s activities. The concepts of building and approaches to the development of a personal brand, as well as strategies for its promotion are considered.
