Subject. This article examines the non-financial sector debt ratio relative to the GDP of emerging and developed market economies. Objectives. The article aims to find out what institutional units show debt growth or reduction, what causes and conditions prevent debt decline or lead to its growth in different countries and sectors, and highlight the foundations of public policy in this area. Methods. For the study, I used a cross-country comparative analysis, grouping method, and graphical and trend analyses. The study covers 43 market economies, including 26 developed and 17 emerging ones. The time period is from Q4 2001 to Q4 2019. Results. The article identifies and describes the structural debt changes that have taken place since 2008, which include a reduction in private sector leverage and rising public sector debt in developed market economies, and accelerated growth in the non-financial corporations and households' debt in emerging market economies. Conclusions and Relevance. Given the different conditions of access to the capital market and the institutional differences between developed and emerging market economies, different approaches to debt management are needed. The identified trends are important to develop non-financial sector debt management policies, including both fiscal and monetary policies.

Financial sector has experienced significant expansion together with accelerating financial globalization in recent years and had important positive and negative economic implications for all the economies. This study investigates the interaction among unemployment, financial development and domestic investment in 16 emerging market economies during 2001-2014 period using panel data analysis. We found that there was long relationship among the variables and domestic investment had negative impact on the unemployment, while financial development had no significant impact on the unemployment. Furthermore, there was unidirectional causality from development of financial sector to unemployment.

The purpose of this work is to determine the level of financial obligations the borrower assumes when obtaining a loan in Poland, depending on the conditions under a credit agreement, circumstances related to getting and repayment of the loan. It is found that from to January 2008 to January 2021 in emerging market economies the level of credit to the non-financial sector in the percentage of GDP is increasing to 240%, in Member states of the Euro area - about 292%. The study found that in countries in the emerging market group, the level of financing increases much quickly than in Euro area. Thus, in January 2021 compared to January 2008, the level of financing (credit to non-financial sector from all sectors at market value) in emerging market economies has tripled, while in Euro area member countries this ratio increased on 33%. In Poland, the level of financing during mentioned period increased to 141.1% and as of January 2021 amounted to USD 881.8 bln. The development of bank lending is only possible if there is a transparent relationship between the banks and the borrowers that helps to minimize credit risk. The analysis of credit legislation in the EU countries made it possible to find that there is a problem with presentation of information on the calculation of the credit costs in a transparent and understandable way. It was established that the credit costs in Poland, taking into account its maximum level, can have a significant impact on the borrower’s creditworthiness and obtaining information on the «real» credit costs is necessary to make good decisions by a potential debtor. According to the results of the study, algorithms for calculating the credit cost were proposed, that make it possible to present all components of the costs and its level depending on the conditions for granting a loan. The results of the research can be used by potential borrowers before deciding to take a loan in a Poland bank to determine all the costs related to the loan. The research is in line with an idea of «economisation of law» or «financialisation of law».

The book discusses six related topics which include nine papers presented at the Emerging Markets Forum Meeting held in Jakarta, Indonesia, in September 2006. The book highlights the main factors of growth and development in Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) now closely related with international capital flows, development of financial market, the countries’ ability to integrate successfully with the global economy through trade and investment and their ability to forge public-private partnerships including infrastructure development. Chapter 2, of the book is an article titled “Global Imbalances, Oil Revenues and Capital Flows to Emerging Market Countries” by Jack Boorman explains the favourable global environment and its impact on capital flows to Emerging Market Countries (EMCs). The EMCs got advantage from this benign global economic environment, such as high economic growth rate, increase in exports, better national balance sheet and increase in foreign exchange reserves, but due to high oil prices the situation has been changed.
