This study examines whether the CEECs’ financial market development can explain the EU FDI in the CEECs during 1994–2012. The higher bank credit flows had a positive effect on the FDI in 2005–2012. This can be attributed to the major banking sector reforms undertaken before the CEECs’ EU accession. Second, the stock market size had a positive effect in 1997–2004. This is due to the fact that the EU membership announcement facilitated deeper stock market integration. Third, the higher country income, in interaction with a higher bank credit flow, had only a small positive effect in 2005–2012. The higher income CEECs have pursued much deeper bank liberalization through large-scale privatization of state-owned banks. Finally, the higher country income, in interaction with a larger stock market size, had a negative effect in 2005–2012. A possible reason for this is that the EU countries have started to divert their new FDI to the non-EU countries.

This research focuses on the problem of large scale disproportion of success in the development of the banking sector and mostly unsuccessful development of the real sector of the economy. It should be noted that this disproportion is a subject of consideration in contemporary economic literature and our research is an attempt to broaden the issue and share ideas inside the international scientific circles. The main problem in the research is the impact of the banking sector's credit portfolio and the functioning of credit markets on the economic growth of the country. In this regard, it is very important to identify, study the macroeconomic stabilization and accelerated economic growth of the country and analyse the impact mechanisms of the credit market factors on economic growth. The conclusion that combines many of the research and opinions given in the survey can be as follows: From the economic point of view, the main function of banks is to increase the financing/lending of funds as the core point to increase investments in the economy. Thus, the development of the country in economic terms depends on the increase of investments. At present, it is in the hands of the banking sector whether to lead us to economic immobility or to accelerate the country's economic development through efficient allocation of resources.


Subject The 'golden visa' controversy in the EU. Significance The European Commission's announcement on October 10 that it would investigate so-called 'golden visa' schemes follows a report by Global Witness and Transparency International warning that insufficient applicant background checks exposed the EU to large-scale money laundering and corruption. Impacts Greater public knowledge of golden visas will increase domestic pressure on governments. Scandals could worsen relations between the EU and non-EU countries. Applications for visas in the United Kingdom will likely decline if there is a Brexit deal.

Abstract This paper uses the Panzar-Rosse H-statistic to provide empirical evidence on the impact of competitive behaviour of banks on risk-taking, using the Fixed Effects Vector Decomposition Method on panel data of banks in 15 Central and South-Eastern Europe countries during the period 1999-2009. The findings suggest that banking sector competition has had a negative impact on banks’ risk-taking implying that competition contributed to the improvement of the loan-portfolio quality. However, the results differ significantly when distinguishing between the EU and non-EU countries of the CESEE region. While for the EU countries the relationship between banking sector competition and risk-taking remains negative, this relationship is positive for the non-EU countries of the region, suggesting that an increase of competition in the non-EU countries may be detrimental for the stability of the banking sector in these countries. These results are robust to different model specifications and measures of competition

The paper deals with the main parameters of the Ukrainian securities market at the current stage, identifies its functioning problems, gives a set of measures for the effective implementation of Ukraine's desire to integrate the national stock market into the European Union. Compared with the stock markets of the EU countries, the domestic securities market is underdeveloped, poorly regulated and illiquid, therefore there is the need to develop it and implement the European legislative initiatives. The paper covers the basic laws in the field of legal regulation of the Ukrainian and EU securities market. The investigation includes the results of the research of the current experience in leading European countries in terms of capitalization of the largest stock exchanges in Europe. The classification of 5 largest European stock exchanges is given and the influence of COVID-19 virus on their activity is analyzed. The main trends in the field of securities investment market of the largest stock exchanges in Europe and Ukraine are led. While examining statistical data concerning the capitalization of European stock exchanges in comparison with the PFTS of Ukraine in 2019, the LSE (London Stock Exchange) ranks 1st with €3.86 bn., 2nd place is taken by Euronext – €3.4 bn., 3rd place by Deutsche Börse having capitalization volume at the level of €1.9 bn., and PFTS Ukraine – €0.17 bn., which indicates that Ukrainian securities market is insufficiently elaborated. Nowadays, the Ukrainian securities market repeats European historical development trends, and at this stage it largely depends on the directions of development that international stock markets can take. Changes in European securities markets are extremely rapid and require competent response from regulatory structures. The rapid development of the European stock market, accompanied by the emergence of advanced technologies in the field of securities and new financial instruments, make it necessary to monitor all the changes and innovations that happen in the Ukrainian securities market in order to develop more effective recommendations for improving its functioning and regulation. In addition, integration with the European Union requires deeper and more radical reforms of the domestic state administration, macroeconomic regulation, property relations, and anti-corruption policy. Only a large-scale and complete reform will enable progressive renewal and effective, socially responsible integration into the EU countries, taking into account national interests.

While Malaysia has fulfilled expectation of a highly liberalized market since 2009, however, her stock market is still far from fully integrated with the world market. Existing literature by far has not provided any insight on market integration of such highly liberalized yet not perfectly integrated stock market. This paper explores whether such non-perfect market integration is due to some implicit factor at firm level. Based on Errunza, V and E Losq (1989) . Capital flow controls, international asset pricing, and investors’ welfare: A multi-country framework. The Journal of Finance, 44(4), 1025–1037 asset pricing framework, we employed a multivariate GARCH-M model to estimate the monthly market integration level of Malaysia stock market with the world over a period from January 2009 to September 2016. Subsequently, we examine whether the three firm-level implicit factors, i.e., ownership concentrations, foreign ownership and firm price delay affect the Malaysia stock market’s world integration. These firm-level factors are aggregated from firm-level data while price delay was also aggregated from estimates of weekly data at firm level. In short, we found that price delay and ownership concentrations have significant negative effects on the market level integration, with the latter having a nonlinear [Formula: see text]shape effect where ownership concentration will have a positive effect passing the threshold of 52.2%. Last but not least, foreign ownership has a significant positive effect.

Deep changes in territorial and commodity structure of foreign trade have arisen after 1989 in Czechia. Economically developed states, especially EU countries, have become significant trade partners of Czechia. On the one hand, export and import of machines and means of transport have increased, on the other hand, export of semi-finished products and materials has decreased. Intense qualitative changes in territorial and commodity structures as well as an increase of foreign trade would be inconceivable (or significantly delayed) without a positive effect of foreign direct investments. Foreign capital has sharpened differences between prospering foreign firms and weak, uncompetitive home enterprises. The aim of this contribution is: a) to deal with the effects of foreign direct investments on the development of foreign trade in Czechia; b) to delineate the main trends in development of foreign trade affected by foreign capital.

The Turkish financial sector, especially the Turkish banking sector, demonstrates a growth tendency in recent years. Although this growth is observed to be steady, it has not reached a sufficient volume and the sources of growth are not healthy. In this study, the dimensions of the said growth in the Turkish financial sector are analyzed in comparison with the EU member countries, which are also the members of OECD, with respect to the competitiveness features of the countries and financial centers, banking sectors of the countries and the capital markets of the countries. The study presents an evaluation of the current situation with a special focus on Istanbul - a city planned to be a global financial center.

Milk is one of the most essential agricultural products in the EU. One of the major milk producers in the EU is Poland. Polish farmers account for supplying 8% of the total EU production. Nevertheless, Polish milk prices differ from the prices recorded in its western neighbors. The aim of the article has been to evaluate the dynamics of the relationships between milk prices in Poland and in the EU countries. To develop it, the monthly raw milk prices, covering the period January 2005 through December 2018, were applied. The calculations were made for the entire selected period as well as for two sub-periods: 2005–2011 and 2012–2018. The results were used to confirm the milk market integration between Poland and the EU countries. Besides, it must be noted that the relations increased considerably since 2012. The EU countries which have recorded the greatest impact on the prices in Poland are Germany, Ireland, France and Slovakia.
