This chapter aims to analyze the impact of the global 2020 pandemic on the banking sectors of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia countries in the period from January 2, 2017 to August 10, 2020. The results of the Gregory-Hansen test, in the covid subperiod, show 27 integrations (in 30 possible). When comparing the pre-covid and covid subperiods, the level of integration has increased 386% between markets, which could call into question portfolio diversification, validating the first research question. In corroboration, the authors have verified that the results of Granger's causality tests, in the COVID-19 subperiod, increased significantly. In view of these results and bearing in mind the results of integration, they can show that the crisis caused by the global pandemic of 2020 has increased the synchronization between these regional banking sectors, significantly decreasing the hypothesis of implementing efficient portfolio diversification, thus validating the second research question.

Crises in the banking and sovereign debt sectors give rise to heightened financial fragility. Of particular concern is the development of self-fulfilling feedback loops where crisis conditions in one sector are transmitted to the other sector and back again. We use time-varying tests of Granger causality to demonstrate how empirical evidence of connectivity between the banking and sovereign sectors can be detected, and provide an application to the Greek, Irish, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish (GIIPS) countries and Germany over the period 2007 to 2016. While the results provide evidence of domestic feedback loops, the most important finding is that financial fragility is an international problem and cannot be dealt with purely on a country-by-country basis.
