Summary Privatisation of the banking sector is an inseparable part of development strategies used by the countries in transition. The process of transition and building a financial and market-oriented system is a complex and long-term task which, in addition to a variety of legal arrangements, involves also several institutional options, such as the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Banking Agency of the Republic of Srpska and Banja Luka Stock Exchange of Securities. The transition process of the banking sector in the Republic of Srpska was not implemented by rehabilitation of existing domestic banks, but by opening the banking system for the entry of foreign, more efficient banks. The level of trust in the banking sector grew in parallel with the process of bank privatisation and the arrival of foreign banks. Throughout the previous period, all the banks in the Republic of Srpska recorded a significant increase in the amount of deposits and loans placed, which implies the growth of investment and economic activities, therefore indicating the increase of the Republic of Srpska’s GDP in general. These are positive trends that demonstrate a decrease in the current lagging behind the European Union.

Main Determinants

The current processes of economic and information globalization are mainly related to the successively progressing integration of financial markets, the development of ICT and Internet technologies. The liberalization of capital flows, progressing since the 1970s, was determined by many economic and political factors, including the modification of the international monetary system. The main determinants of economic and information globalization include such processes as liberalization of capital flows, deregulation of international financial markets and progress in the field of ICT. These processes constituted favorable conditions for the reconstruction of the market financial system, including the banking sector in Poland in the 1990s. Since the beginning of the systemic and economic transformation that has been taking place in Poland since 1989, the banking system and capital market institutions have been rebuilt. It referred to the Warsaw Stock Exchange market institutions, taking into account the opening of the economy to foreign capital. Foreign financial corporations taking over domestic banking entities in Poland have introduced their modern transactional and teleinformation technologies and new standards for entering into financial transactions. These processes were the main determinants of economic and information globalization that has been made in Poland since the 1990s.

Foreign banks represent important channels for the transfer of productive resources, managerial and organizational skills and experience accumulated on international level, which led to increased competition in the banking market in Romania, which contributed to some extent to the profitability of the Romanian banking sector. The purpose of the current attempt of research is the analysis of the structural evolution of the banking sector in Romania, under the impact of foreign direct investments (FDI). Analyzing the structural evolution of the Romanian banking sector, there can be observed that in 2015, FDI has influenced some important merger operations on a level with branches of foreign banks in Romania, and over 85% of the total capital of the banking system in our country belongs to credit institutions with foreign majority ownership and to their branches. Regarding the origin of the foreign capital of credit institutions, it originates from the member states of the European Union (EU). It is also worthy of note that in 2015, the top ten banks in the banking sector of Romania held 71.6% of the assets, while the remaining 26 banks held a share of only 28.4% of the market. Banca Comercială Română, BRD - Groupe Société Générale and Banca Transilvania are in 2015 the main banks in the Romanian banking system, with a major market share.

In the 2012-2015 period, $1 billion have been stolen from three Moldovan banks, which is the equivalent of 12% of the country’s GDP. The highly fraudulent environment in the RM allowed for the successful application of fraudulent schemes for three years, without it being seized and frozen. This paper seeks to decipher the schemes that were applied as well as argue how the integration into the European Union would have lowered the corruption and thereby prevent the fraud from happening. Even though several scholars discussed the bank fraud and how it affected the relationship between Moldova and the EU, they do not address how the steps of integration into the European Union could gradually regulate the level of corruption in the RM and subsequently eliminate the possible methods of committing the bank fraud. Through a comparative analysis of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, I aim to demonstrate that the difference between the level of corruption and the stability of the banking system in these two countries is due to EU membership. Further, through secondary analysis of qualitative data, and semi-constructed interviews, I conclude that, in theory, my argument holds – the instruments the EU applies on the candidate countries would not have allowed the fraudulent schemes to be put into action. However, the EU failed to apply the conditionality concept on Romania and thus, it is possible that the money laundering in the RM could have happened even if it had been a member of the EU.

This paper analyzes selected data on the performance of companies that are part of the power utility Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske with the aim of determining their sustainable growth rates. The energy sector was chosen because of its importance both for the Republic of Srpska capital market (measured by the participation in the total market capitalization of the Banja Luka Stock Exchange and the basic Stock Exchange index) and the entire Republic of Srpska economy (measured by the participation in gross domestic product). The analysis considered data from published financial statements for 2019, with an emphasis on the following: operating assets, liabilities, capital, operating income and net profit. The dividend policy was also considered, but it was concluded in the paper that none of the observed companies paid dividends from profit for 2019 by the end of this analysis. The research results show that the rate of sustainable growth exceeds 1% in only one case, while in several other cases there are negative rates of sustainable growth caused by the loss in the observed period. Such facts could raise concerns, but also indicate possible directions for future actions in order to improve the performance of the considered companies.

<p>In the last decade the European integration process was the main focuses of the European Union, as its completion could bring a huge step toward a fully integrated European Union. As the banking sector is the main channel for funding of the European economy, it has become now more clearly than ever that is integration is of the up more essence.
