By progressing technological and scientific revolution it enters in various fields of the economy. The banking sector is able to compete with large high-tech companies, online banks ensuring effective and inexpensive communication with customers. The banking sector in the future will compete with large high-tech companies such as Facebook or Amazon, considering online banks on the forefront of the competitive fight due to efficient interaction with the customers and lower costs. The main difference between online banks and traditional is the absence of large office network: interaction with customers is mainly realized through websites, mobile banking, social networks or by phone. These banks usually develop their own high-tech platforms. Since the last decades, Moldovan banks have aligned their activities with the new legislative framework in relation to the implementation of Basel III standards by implementing the CRD IV package, which will be implemented in stages by 2020. At the same time, the National Bank of Moldova continues the process of promoting the banking sector reforms, focusing on shareholders 'transparency to attract new investors to meet higher quality requirements, establishing strong corporate governance in the banking sector, identifying bank affiliates and timely reflecting unfavorable loans in banks' balance sheets. The IT Park is set up in Moldova. The main objective of the initiative is to accelerate the development of the IT industry by accelerating the implementation of technologies in various fields, opening new jobs, attracting both internal and external investments and specialists. The concept of the Moldova IT Park model claims to be an ambitious and landmark project for the development of other areas; a community that will grow every year, to which new companies and projects will join and who will make new successes. All project actors want Moldova IT Park to become a useful and efficient project offering rich digital content and advanced information services, which in turn will increase the level of economic competitiveness and welfare of the population. Lately we witness spectacular changes in banking services. The banking system cooperates with IT companies to gain a competitive advantage. Thus, any bank is able to develop and deliver innovative solutions to consumers, streamlining the work and concept of banking services. These innovations offer unprecedented opportunities in financial activity. In the future, banking cards will be excluded, bank cards, branches and subsidiaries will be optimized, and banks will turn from service / product vendors to developers of consumer options and dreams. Any whim and transaction will be possible from any corner of the Earth. This research aims to elucidate trends in the global banking market and prospects for the Moldovan market.

This chapter compares the recapitalizations of the Japanese banking sector in the 1990s with those in the ongoing European debt crisis. The analysis points to four main policy implications. First, recapitalizing banks by insuring or purchasing troubled assets alone is not likely to solve the problem of banks’ weak capitalization, as this measure is not able to adjust the extent of the recapitalization to the banks’ specific needs. Second, the amount of the recapitalization should be based on actual capital shortages and not risk-weighted assets to avoid banks decreasing their loan supply. Third, banks should face restrictions regarding the amount of dividends they are allowed to pay out. Finally, banks must be induced to clean up their balance sheets and reduce the amount of bad (non-performing) loans to rebuild confidence in the European banking system.

This paper examines the case for efficiency-driven banking sector consolidation in Italy, evaluates its potential effects on profitability, and discusses policy options to facilitate a consolidation process that is as effective as possible. A bottom-up analysis of 386 Italian banks suggests that while profitability is expected to improve as the economy gradually recovers, operational efficiency gains are nonetheless needed to restore large parts of the banking system to healthy profitability. Banking system consolidation can play a role in facilitating such efficiency gains, but its effectiveness is likely to be most as part of a comprehensive strategy that includes complementary reforms to clean up bank balance sheets. Cross-country experience indicates that efficiency gains are more likely to follow consolidations where careful viability analyses are conducted of the synergies and operational improvements that can be achieved.

Regulators responded with an array of strategies to shore up weaknesses exposed by the 2008 financial crisis. This chapter focuses on reforms to bank capital regulation. We first discuss the ways in which the post-crisis Basel III reforms recalibrated the existing framework by improving the quality of capital, increasing the quantity of capital, and improving the calculation of risk weights. We then shift to the major structural changes in the regulatory capital framework—capital buffers on top of the minimum requirements; a leverage ratio that explicitly accounts for off-balance-sheet exposures; risk-based and leverage capital surcharges on the largest banks; bail-in debt to facilitate orderly resolution; and forward-looking stress tests. We conclude with a quantitative assessment of the evolution of capital in the global banking system and in the US banking sector.

The article examines the experience of the Republic of Azerbaijan (RA) in anti-crisis regulation of the banking sector. The author reveals the current state of the banking system of RA. Its development is monitored from three time perspectives – on the eve of the crisis (2005-2007), in the crisis (2008-2009) and post-crisis periods (2010-2020). The characteristics and features of each of them are revealed. The conceptual essence of the definition of “anti-crisis management” is revealed. The factors contributing to the study of anti-crisis management (regulation) of banking activity as an independent field of scientific research, as well as the distinctive features of its methods and tools are highlighted. The article analyzes the impact of anti-crisis regulation on the banking system of RA in the context of the global economic crisis, as well as anti-crisis measures taken by the country’s monetary authorities at various stages of the modern financial collapse. The authors concluded that these measures are inconsistent, and that it is necessary to further improve regulation and supervision in this area, aimed at achieving high financial stability of the banking system, primarily due to an adequate level of capitalization, optimal indicators of financial reserves and liquidity.

This descriptive study aims at exploring the challenges and opportunities of e-banking in the Nepalese banking sector. The required data are collected from bank employees by applying a self administered questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and the desktop research. The findings demonstrate that banks expand to e-banking services in order to remain competitive, to update themselves with new technological developments and to minimize transaction cost and to facilitate customers. The major challenges faced the e-banking customers are non-familiarity with advanced technology, internet connection problems, problems regarding security and privacy. These challenges have a negative influence on the adoption of e-banking services by customers in Nepal. To overcome the challenges, Nepalese banking industry should invest on adopting the most secured and trustworthy e-banking system and educating customers on the use and importance of e-banking regularly.
