Abstract We analyze how the ECB’s purchases of corporate bonds under its Corporate Sector Purchase Programme (CSPP) affected the financing of Spanish firms. We first document that the announcement of the CSPP in March 2016 raised firms’ propensity to issue bonds. The flipside was a drop in the demand for bank loans by bond issuers. Around 75% of the drop in loans previously made to debt issuers was redirected to other, smaller nonbond issuing firms. This reallocation process was led by banks with weaker liquidity positions experiencing credit outflows, which extended credit to the same firms they were rationing prior to the CSPP. This positive credit supply shock raised the real investment of nonissuing firms. The concomitant ECB’s Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO-II) is estimated to have contributed to amplifying the credit-reallocation effect triggered by the CSPP.

Bond Issues

The corporate bond market contributes to the development of the financial market, its infrastructure, and affects economic growth. In developed countries, corporate bond issuance is a very common way of borrowing by the corporate sector. In developing countries, this method of borrowing is used "shyly" because companies most often turn to banks for help. In addition, the inflow of FDI in these countries contributes to meeting the financial needs of the corporate sector, thus reducing the need for bond issues. The paper compares borrowing by issuing corporate bonds and bank loans, explains the forms of issue of these securities, rating bonds, the secondary market of corporate bonds and briefly presents the picture of the corporate bonds market of Republic of Serbia.

Introduction. Financial sector plays an important role in the financing of business entities in the real economy sector. A possibility of rising funds through the stock or banking sector enables substantially to expand the scope of enterprises. However, the presence of permanent financial crises does not allow companies to use these opportunities in full. Therefore, the assessment of state and trends of the stock and banking sectors in the context of the use of their funds to finance companies in the real sector of the economy becomes important. Purpose. The article aims to identify contemporary issues of development of the stock and banking sectors in the context of their ability to finance companies in the real economy. Method. In order to achieve the goal of the research we have used the following methods: method of structural and dynamic analysis and method of economic and statistical analysis of the development of the stock and banking sectors of Ukraine. Results. It has been determined that the deterioration of the stock market in Ukraine led to its exclusion from the list of marginal markets. The largest segment of the Ukrainian stock and banking sector services the issuers, which are owned by the state. At the same time, the financial sector has features of bank-centeredness since banks play a leading role in financing of companies and in transactions of the stock market. Ukrainian stock market mainly carries out operations with government bonds and only a small part of operations provides financing for the activities of companies through the issue of stocks and bonds. The share of long-term sources of funding is gradually decreasing and it is critically low for economic growth of the country. The tempos of providing long-term and short-term bank loans for the company are slowing down. A positive trend is the reduction of interest rates on loans. There is a need to develop effective measures for using opportunities of the stock and banking sectors as well for financing companies in the real sector of the economy.

The corporate bond market development is integral to increase the resilience of the Russian economy to external shocks and to build a new growth model in terms of sanctions. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of the Russian corporate bond market and to develop proposals for accelerating its further development considering the international experience. The proposals are based on a study of the legal base for the functioning of the international bond market, as well as modern technologies and tools that have proven to be effective in practice. As part of a comparative analysis, a hypothetical-deductive research method has been used. The author has proposed: to develop and adopt independent federal law “On Corporate Bonds”; to amend and supplement the Russian legislation on the protection of the rights of investors who purchase corporate bonds; to make trial (debut) issues in the Russian stock market for bonds denominated in foreign currencies (for example, in RMB); to expand the line of bond types, etc. It has been concluded that, despite the unfavorable external and internal conditions, there is a steady increase in the number of issuers and corporate bonds in circulation in Russia. Active bond issue in the Russian financial market in the near future will happen not only in the corporate, but also in the public segment. It will require more active involvement of individuals in purchasing government and corporate bonds as investors. Various types of institutional investors competing with banks will also be attracted. Corporate bond issue can ease the financial burden of banks and companies that have problems with refinancing their external debts. It can also help to solve the problem of financing of the Russian companies that have focused on obtaining various bank loans in order to implement their business plans. This will help to increase the supply of temporarily free monetary resources, to reduce their cost and more efficiently transform savings into investments.

The security of sources of financing is of undoubted importance for the continuous and sustainable operation of economic entities, which is a long-term interest of persons interested in the operation of economic entities. In the structure of possible sources of financing of economic entities, corporate bonds are of great importance everywhere in the world, and their application in the Republic of Serbia could bring a great contribution to the domestic economy. Corporate bonds are debt obligations issued by corporation to debt refinancing, improvements, expansions or acquisitions. The bondholders are the issuer's creditors and for the money invested in the company, they expect earnings. The main goal of this paper is to consider the conditions and importance of issuing corporate bonds by medium and large companies in Serbia and the advantage over other sources of financing. Based on the obtained research results, it can be concluded that the issuance of bonds is a good alternative to other sources of financing the company's operations, but the corporate bond market in Serbia is in the development phase. Bond issuers with listing on the regulated market of the Belgrade Stock Exchange include, in addition to the state, only certain commercial banks and international financial organizations.

We find that European SMEs significantly increased their net trade credit to sales ratio during the Great Recession. For the aggregate of SMEs, trade credit did not provide any buffer to the contraction in bank loans. In fact, through increased net trade credit, SMEs suffered a squeeze in their liquidity and this phenomenon reflects the weak bargaining power of SMEs in their trade credit relationship with larger firms. Therefore, increased net trade credit by SMEs does not reflect an efficient reallocation of credit, and it calls for policy actions. These policy actions are highly relevant, given that the liquidity squeeze had significant adverse effects on the real performance of SMEs, contributing to the recession and to the subsequent timid recovery of European economies. We explore various policies that could be implemented to relieve SMEs from the liquidity squeeze induced by the increase in their receivables.
