The Empirical Analysis

The formation and functioning of the country’s financial system depend on many factors, both endogenous and exogenous. The economic system of a country, as a higher-order system in relation to the financial one, underlies the development of the financial system model. The existing model of the financial system becomes significant in the context of its impact on economic processes in the country. The main purpose of the empirical analysis is to confirm the thesis about the signs of the bank-centricity of the Ukrainian financial market. The share of assets of financial intermediaries in GDP is determined, which indicates a significant decrease in the share of assets of all financial intermediaries in Ukraine. Analysis of the loan-to-deposit ratio in the banking system of Ukraine shows that the deposit base was far smaller than the size of loans throughout the analyzed period. Analysis of non-performing loans by economic sectors shows that the largest share of NPLs is formed in the corporate sector of the economy. Analysis of the structure of banks’ assets, taking into account their owners, shows that at the end of the analyzed period the share of state-owned banks’ assets increased significantly. Thus, having analyzed the functioning of the banking system of Ukraine, one can conclude about the bank-centric nature of Ukraine’s financial system.

Abstract Collective investors play an extremely important role in the financial system of the state and in the economy. They operate in the financial market as institutions that enable households and businesses to convert savings into investments. Investment funds are the most conventional institutions which are dealing with financial intermediation. The main purpose of the submitted paper is to characterise the essence of investment funds operation in the role as financial intermediaries, to present the investment strategies and to characterise the methodology for measuring the effectiveness of capital management entrusted by the clients. The author has formulated a research hypothesis, according to which, the strategies of capital location policy used by the investment funds have an impact on the level of their performance, while funds holding higher risk portfolios perform better compared to the funds using passive investment strategies

New Phase

The Albanian financial system has entered a new phase of its development. Financial system in Albania is bank oriented, as financial market is not active. Because of the important and deep changes that have altered the image of the banking system, the conditions for more dynamic development of non-banking intermediaries and capital markets have been created. The analysis is based on the standard indicators of size and activity of banking intermediaries. The results of the analysis show that the size and activity of Albanian banking system is growing faster but limiting the crediting process only on banks. However, the achieved level of development of banking intermediaries is still below of other advanced transition economies. Albanian financial system needs to develop quickly the activities of pension funds, investment funds and bond/asset markets in order to create great opportunities to the Albanian economy.

The Global Financial Crisis

The Slovenian economy has been through steep ups and downs post-EU accession (2004), and is at the crossroads again. The period 2004–2008 was characterized by balanced monetary and fiscal policies resulting in the adoption of the Euro (2007), coupled with overheated economic growth and propelling corporate indebtedness, fuelled by rapid credit expansion from cheap and abundant foreign funding. The global financial crisis has exposed the “home-grown” vulnerability of the Slovenian economy, bringing about the second largest GDP fall (9.4%) in the Eurozone after Greece, with a double-dip recession (2009, 2012–13). Growth rebounced in 2014 to 2.6% from its low, but the competitiveness of the Slovenian economy continued to slide in international rankings. For further recovery Slovenia, squeezed by high public debt at 82% of GDP, credit contraction despite EUR 5bn state aid injected into the 70% domestically (basically state) owned banking sector, and the continued threat of massive bankruptcy and debt overhang in the corporate sector, has 3 fundamentally different policy options. − Profound restructuring of the banking system and the real sector, on the basis of earnest privatization and voluminous FDI inflow. − Slow creditless recovery due to half-hearted reforms in the financial system and corporate sector. − Substituting wide-ranging micro level restructuring with Government-stimulated credit expansion, reproducing current tensions in even higher magnitudes in the future. In the current state of the Slovenian economy, equity-led growth, combined with far-reaching institutional reforms seems the only choice in laying the foundation for long-term sustainable economic development. This study outlines the critical further steps in re-invigorating the financial system, utilizing also the proposals elaborated by the author and his banking team for the Slovenian macro policy decision-makers.

The Stability

The growth of domestic economy in Indonesia is lower than forecasted in first quarter of 2016.However, the economy is expected to revive and will grow higher in the next quarter, with a well maintained financial system stability. The limited growth of government consumption as well as private investment are the main reason for the slower growth in this quarter, eventhough the government spending on capital goods accelerates. The growth of private consumption remains high with reasonable price movement. With the increase of several commodities’ export, the external performance of export in aggregate also increased. On the other hand, the financial system stability was stable due to viable banking system and better financial market performance. The stability of Rupiah was well maintained, supported by positive expectation on domestic economy and the lower risk of the global financial market.

First Time

This paper discusses the legitimacy of securitizing the central bank receivables from the government and banking system in the Iranian financial market and making use of this instrument to conduct monetary policy. Ijtihad or independent jurisprudential reasoning based on Imamiah Fiqh (prevailing in the Iranian Islamic banking system), is used as paper methodology. The results show that considering the jurisprudential ‘ownership unity’ between the central bank, the government, and governmental banks in the Iranian banking system, securitizing the central bank receivables from the government or the governmental banks is not legitimate and not Shariah-compliant. Nevertheless, it is possible to issue debt-sale securities based on the debts of private banks to the central bank. Therefore, issuing debt-sale securities based on central bank receivables from the private banks can be considered a suitable instrument for conducting Shariah-compliant monetary policy in the Islamic banking system of Iran. This paper discusses for the first time the idea of issuing debt-sale securities as a monetary policy instrument in the Iranian financial system. Besides, the analysis is based on the Imamiah School of Fiqh, which is also new.

Effective functioning of a financial market has a key role in the development of a country's economy. Developing countries experience lack of funds, one of the best ways to attract investment capital is the development of the right direction of the securities market, credit market and insurance market that are served by the regulations adopted in this field, which are derived from the Association Agreement. It can be said that a new phase starts with new regulations on the market of financial institutions. Current regulations are directed to the solvency of the insurance company, the use of mechanisms for maintaining financial sustainability, and the rule of formation and placement of reserves. However, there are no regulations for the development of life insurance. According to the new regulations, we think that in 2019 banking sector will be significantly different from the 2017 situation. In the short term, it will bring down retail lending, increase expenditures in the sector, increase demand on capital and reduce profitability, and in the long term we should hope that it will contribute to the improvement of the financial system of Georgian financial system, which will ensure financial sustainability of the banking system. Regulations concerning the development of the securities market, here a pension reform is important, which has come into force since January, 2019. As a result of this, the state accumulative pension system started in which large amounts of accumulated funds will be invested in local securities, in the local economy. The research objective: To determine the effectiveness of new regulations on the financial market, the purpose of implementing regulations is to improve the quality of the banking system, the securities market, the insurance market, and the sustainable development of the economy.

The authors point out that the local market crisis - on the USA substandard loan market - has led to the uncertainty of the world financial market. It has caused the growing demand for liquidity in the framework of the world financial system. The Russian banking sector seems to be more stable under negative changes than banking systems of other emerging markets. At the same time one can assume that the crisis will become the factor of qualitative shift in the character of the Russian banking sector development - the shift from impetuous to more balanced growth.

AbstractThe zero risk weight privilege for European sovereign debt in the current capital adequacy requirements for credit institutions incentivises credit institutions to acquire and hold sovereign debt. However, it also poses a significant risk to the stability of the banking system and thus the financial system as a whole. It is argued that this privilege should not only be abolished due to the risk it entails but that it is also non conformant with EU primary law. Art. 124 TFEU prohibits privileged access of the EU and Member States' public sector to financial institutions except for prudential considerations. The protective purpose of Art. 124 TFEU to ensure sound budgetary policies by subjecting public borrowing to the same rules as borrowing by other market participants is thwarted by the uniform zero risk weight privilege. Further, as this privilege does not take into account the varying creditworthiness of the individual Member States it does not promote the soundness of financial institutions so as to strengthen the soundness of the financial system as whole, but rather endangers systemic stability. The zero risk weight privilege is therefore not based on prudential considerations and hence violates Art. 124 TFEU.
