The article examines the competitiveness of Ukrainian banks influenced by economy digitalization, the dynamic spread of electronic payments and e-commerce, as well as innovative technologies aimed at providing digital services. When shifting to an Online Platform business model, a bank can expand its range of banking products, attract more customers, thereby forming a competition policy and gaining competitive advantages. The paper aims to assess the digitalization level affecting the general competitiveness of banks and its components based on Ukrainian banks. For this purpose, the following methods were used: standardized input statistical indicators, comparison and ranking, a cluster analysis, and a regression and correlation analysis. The cluster analysis confirmed the current role of digitalization as a competition driver that determines the competitive advantages of banks and creates additional opportunities to expand the customer base and the range of services. The correlation and regression dependence of the competitive position identified by the activity indicators of certain banks on the level of competitive digitalization confirmed a close direct impact on the competitive position of personal deposits arising from the development of digital banking technology; the pre-tax income, profiles of assets and personal loans, and corporate deposits are subject to a significant direct impact, while the weakest direct impact determines corporate loans. The foregoing substantiates the feasibility of large-scale introduction of innovative digital technologies by banks to maintain competitive positions in the banking sector of the economy. Applying the proposed approach based on certain regression equations, managers of Ukrainian banks will be able to assess the efficiency and make appropriate decisions concerning investing in digital tools and services.

The research is focused on several key problems in the system of international relations influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is shown that the events caused by it and broadly identified as a coronacrisis have a direct impact on the world economic contradictions (pandenomica) and political ones, including the sphere of security. These particular aspects are chosen as the main objects of the research. The author contends that the factor of the pandemic has sharpened the competition between regional and global players and has increased the role of a nation- state. In the conditions of transregional deglobalisation, regionalism and “protectionism 2.0” get stronger under the banners of “strategic vulnerability” and “economic sovereignty”. A further weakening of multilateral international institutions continues. The EU endeavours to secure competitive advantages on the basis of relocalisation, industrial and digital policies and the Green Deal. The article highlights the deterioration in the relations among Russia, the US, the EU and China, the unfolding decoupling between Washington and its European allies, which stimulates the idea of the EU strategic autonomy. An urgent need for the deconfliction in Russia – NATO interaction is stated.

This study aims to investigate the mediating role of customers' satisfaction on the effect of customer relationship management on long-term customers' loyalty in the banking sector in the Palestinian Territory. Using advanced statistical methods. This study supports that there is a high level in implementing the CRM, customers' satisfaction, and long-term customers' loyalty. It showed that these three variables: CRM, customers' satisfaction, and long-term customers' loyalty have a significant role on the Banking sector. CRM and its dimensions, and both of customers' satisfaction, and long-term customers' loyalty are positively significant correlated. Also, finds that there is no role for customers' satisfaction as a mediator variable in enhancing the impact of CRM on long-term customers' loyalty. Moreover, based on SEM the study shows that there is a direct impact of CRM system integration and customers satisfaction on long-term customers' loyalty, whereas there is a direct impact for customers' database and CRM system integration on customers' satisfaction. The scholars find that the Palestinian local banks should pay more efforts to improve their competences to enhance the quality of service and their employees' behavior level. On the other side, they need to keep their customers database updated and to be aligned with the cutting edge technologies to provide better service for customers, which is appropriate and meet their needs by obtaining the accurate information about their preferences in order to build a strong competitive advantage that is hard to imitate, this leads to build a strong relationship with customers.

The article summarizes the theoretical foundations and defines the role of banking innovations in the system of ensuring the competitiveness of banks. It has been found that in recent years there has been a trend in the banking sector, which indicates that the traditional business model of the bank, based on a regionally branched network of branches, is becoming increasingly inefficient, as rising costs are not supported by rising efficiency. It is noted that banks are sensitive to the process of economic instability, which manifests itself as a loss of financial stability, reduction and deterioration of customer base due to falling solvency, on the one hand, and loss of confidence - on the other, which collectively affects financial performance and competitiveness . It is outlined that in such circumstances banks face an important task of forming a strategy to increase competitiveness, which will ensure not only maintaining but also strengthening market positions through a clear understanding of the structure and dynamics of the financial services market in general and its banking segment in particular. The study emphasizes that innovation as a field of activity, and hence banking innovation in particular, is actively developing. The relevance of new implementations and ideas, especially those already used by foreign banking institutions, and still little known in our country, as opportunities to ensure a high level of bank competitiveness, has been studied. Accordingly, the study highlights the exceptional role of bank investment in the system of ensuring the competitiveness of the bank. Therefore, further research in this direction is important, because the introduction of banking innovations is a very dynamic process. In addition, not all innovative solutions become widespread, and successful banking innovative solutions in some countries may go unnoticed in others.

Abstract This article studies the role of cashless payments in third-party reporting for the purposes of value-added tax (VAT) compliance management. In economies with well-developed financial institutions, the traceability of digital payments could serve as a deterrent to sales suppression even in the absence of explicit policies utilizing electronic payments for tax enforcement. Using country-level data for the European Union, this article shows that a 1% increase in the value of payments made with cards to gross domestic product (GDP) improves VAT performance by 0.05–0.09%. This effect is found to be strongest in economies characterized by low level of trust in public institutions, and does not vary with the extent of third-party reported information used by tax administrations, or the presence of a large-scale VAT invoice matching system. The result is robust to a rich number of characteristics controlling for various aspects of VAT’s design.
