The topicality of the research lies in the fact that the long-term evolution of financial markets, reinforced by global transformations, has led to the development of convergent processes in banking activities in the presence of significant paradigmatic differences between the major banking systems of the world. The existing peculiarities in the mechanisms and methods of regulation of the banking sector within individual countries have caused drastic changes in views on the nature of the bank and its activities. The traditional view of banks as institutions of financial intermediation, providing the exchange of monetary assets between the owners of savings and borrowers, does not provide for the creation of new money. Instead, proponents of the alternative viewpoint emphasize that in today's world banks finance borrowers mainly through the mechanism of money emission. Both points of view are present to varying degrees in various theoretical and conceptual approaches to understanding the essence of the bank as an institution of financial intermediation. The current economic realities require a detailed study of national banking systems, which largely developed historically, and methodological aspects of their evolution in the context of global transformations. The research subject. In the process of evolution of theoretical and conceptual approaches to the definition of the essence of money, banks, the banking system, the prevailing point of view on this issue has not yet taken a definite form. Nevertheless, the recognition of the effectiveness of banks as a factor of economic growth brings together the positions of competing schools of economic theory. Banks become a factor in the investment process even in the theoretical models of the neoclassical school, which traditionally denies the dependence of economic growth on the money supply. Endogenous growth models recognize the role of banks primarily as a factor in accumulating capital and increasing savings, as well as a mediator between owners of savings and borrowers. Although the Keynesian school of thought initially gave little weight to the functioning of the banking system, neo-Keynesian models have attempted to explain the importance of confidence in the banking system and the need for sound regulatory constraints. The above-mentioned has urged us to carry out this research. The methodological framework of the research is based on an analysis of research on the global debate about the nature of banks in the economy and the architecture of monetary policy. A wide range of theoretical and empirical research methods were used: systematic analysis, synthesis and generalization to formulate conclusions. The aim of the research is to generalize and systematize the evolution of perspectives on money in the interpretations of today’s main economic schools. Conclusion. The findings consist of a conceptualization views' evolution on money, the banking sector in a more open economy to capital flows, and our firm belief that the banking system and the related process of money issuance affect income levels cyclically and over the long term.

The Impact

Background: Our study aims to verify the impact of corporate governance index on financial performance, namely return on assets (ROA), general liquidity, capital adequacy and size of company expressed as total assets in the banking sector for both a developing and a developed country. In addition, we investigate the interactive effect of corporate governance on a homogenous and a heterogeneous banking system. These two banking systems were chosen in order to assess the impact of corporate governance on two distinct types of banking system: a homogenous one such as the Romanian one and a heterogeneous one such as the Italian one. The two systems are very distinct; the Romanian one is represented by only 34 banks, while the Italian one comprises more than 350 banks. Thus, our research question is how a modification in corporate governance legislation is influencing the two different banking systems. The research implication of our study is whether a modification in legislation, thus in the index of corporate governance, is feasible for two different banking sectors and what the best ways to increase the financial performance of banks are without compromising their resilience. Methods: Using survey data from the Italian and Romanian banking systems over the period 2007–2018, we find that the corporate governance has a significant, positive and long-lasting effect on profitability and capital adequacy in both countries. Results: Taking the size of the company into consideration, the impact of the Index of Corporate Governance (ICG) on a homogenous banking system is positive while the impact on a heterogeneous banking system is negative. Conclusions: Our study provides evidence of the impact of IGC on financial performance and sheds light on the importance of the size of the company. Therefore, one can state that the corporate governance principles applied do not encourage the growth of large banks in heterogeneous banking sectors, thereby suggesting new avenues of research associated with new perspectives.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine recent developments pertaining to China’s shadow banking sector. Shadow banking has the potential not only to be a beneficial contributor to continued economic growth, but also to contribute to systematic instability if not properly monitored and regulated. An assessment is made in this paper as to whether shadow banking is beneficial or harmful to China’s economic growth. Design/methodology/approach – The authors start with providing an overview of shadow banking from a global perspective, with information on its recent growth and importance in selected countries. The authors then focus directly on China’s shadow banking sector, with information on the various entities and activities that comprise the sector. Specifically, the authors examine the interconnections between shadow banking and regular banking in China and the growth in shadow banking to overall economic growth, the growth in the money supply and the growth in commercial bank assets. Findings – Despite the wide range in the estimates, the trend in the size of shadow banking in China has been upward over the examined period. There are significant interconnections between the shadow banking sector and the commercial banking sector. Low deposit rate and high reserve requirement ratios have been the major factors driving its growth. Shadow banking has been a contributor, along with money growth, to economic growth. Practical implications – The authors argue that shadow banking may prove useful by diversifying China’s financial sector and providing greater investments and savings opportunities to consumers and businesses throughout the country, if the risks of shadow banking are adequately monitored and controlled. Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, this paper is among the few to systematically evaluate the influence of shadow banking on China’s economic growth.

Transformation of banking in the new paradigm strategy of Ukraine’s development Bohdan Lutsiv Abstract The article considers the issues of transformation of banking into the new strategy of Ukraine’s development in conformity with the accelerating comprehensive transformations of the modern world. It is found that the crisis of globalization is deepening, resulting in the end of the industrial matrix of globalization and the beginning of post-industrial paradigm. It is pointed out that due to the networking transformation of the world a strategic perspective is rather an apolar world than a multipolar one, or a world of equivalent entities. This signals the end of Euro-centrism. In the paper, it is shown that Ukraine’s course to European integration should correlate with current Euro-integration strategies. The systematic analysis of the modern state of the economic backwardness of Ukraine was carried out and the dynamic model of development with the new industrial policy in the reform of the economy was used. A system analysis of the current economic underdevelopment in Ukraine is carried out and a dynamic model of development with a new industrial policy is proposed. Taking into account the deterioration of investment climate, Ukraine’s position in the global investment flows is determined. The structure of capital investments is analyzed by funding sources. In order to mitigate investment risks, a scheme of interaction between tools and instruments used for attracting investments to Ukraine’s economy is proposed. It is stressed that a sustainable stabilization of Ukraine’s banking system is a key driver for the recovery of the real sector. Since the banking sector has been and continues to be a leader and a driving force for reforms in the country, the current state of Ukraine’s banking system after a “big banking cleansing” is assessed. It is concluded that restoration of lending is an essential result received from the transformation of banking. The roots of non-performing loans in bank portfolios are defined and ways for restructuring non-performing loans are outlined. It is noted that addressing the problem of insider lending plays an important role in improving loan portfolios.

The mutual penetration of capital from one country into another has become a characteristic feature of the world financial system. This is largely due to the current globalization processes in the global economy, the continuous development of banking technologies, the need to maintain foreign economic activity of business entities and the rationale for expanding the scales of business activity as a tool to increase operating efficiency. The purpose of the article is to study the current internalization process in the banking systems of the Caspian region countries in terms of the penetration of the banks from the Caspian region countries into the Russian banking sector. Methodology. We have identified the sample of the Russian credit institutions fully controlled by the shareholders from the Caspian region states. Using the data, presented in turnover balance reports (Form 101), we have calculated key performance indicators in 2015–2018. We used the Bank of Russia’s practice to estimate the aggregate balance sheet of the 30 largest credit institutions as the basis for our algorithm. We have analyzed tendencies in funding base, structure of assets and operating efficiency. Results. The analysis of the financial statements shows that within the chosen business model, the banks of the sample are more likely to focus on international financial settlements, servicing foreign trade transactions, than on traditional types of banking business such as lending to non-financial enterprises and individuals. Their performance is significantly lower than the industry benchmarks, which so far does not allow us to expect an increase in their scale of presence in the Russian market in the near future. Practical implications. The analysis of current processes in the field of internationalization of banking systems can be used to assess the financial and economic integration of the countries of the Caspian countries and to develop corrective measures aimed at its further development and deepening.

The Relationship

This paper studies the relationship between financial intermediation and economic growth in a sample of Middle Eastern countries.  The results are consistent with the hypothesis that a well-functioning banking system promotes economic growth.  Moreover, the results suggest that market-specific factors may hinder financial markets’ ability to play hypothesized roles, while enhancing the role of intermediaries.  The paper’s general conclusion is that financial development does affect economic growth.  However, market specific factors affect the magnitude and significance of this effect.  The implication is that studies should control for market-specific factors to assess the relationship between financial development and growth.

The banking sector is constantly affected by a multitude of risks, which jeopardize its stability and performance. The multiplication, diversification and continuous intensification of banking risks emphasizes the need to define, identify, analyze and manage these phenomena, this process having a major impact on the stability of national banking systems and global financial balance. Efforts to this end must maintain the stability of financial-banking systems, characterized by a lack of major imbalances, which could lead to systemic financial crises, the inability of financial institutions to conduct financial operations, or the collapse of financial markets.
