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.

The number of classical banks in the world has reduced. In the majority of countries the number of banks does not exceed 200. The uniqueness of the Russian banking sector is that in this respect it takes the third place in the world after the USA and Germany. The paper reviews the conclusions of the economic theory about the optimum structure of the banking market. The empirical analysis shows that the number of banks in a country is influenced by the size of its territory, population number and GDP per capita. Our econometric estimate is that the equilibrium number of banks in Russia should be in a range of 180-220 units.

In this paper, we examine the extent to which financial stability matters for income growth in emerging markets. Using dynamic panel estimation techniques, we explore both the stock market and banking sector dimensions of the financial system to show that both stock market volatility and non-performing loans are detrimental to income growth in these markets. We, however, find the magnitude of the impact to be relatively more pronounced when the underlying source of instability in the financial system is stock market volatility. Overall, we find the impact of financial stability on income growth to be more statistically relevant when measured using the individual indicators of financial instability as compared to their composite indicator.

The financial sector presents the strongest tendency towards capital concentration, what is the effect of its deregulation, liberalization and strong competitiveness. Fusions and foreign investors, who are taking banks over, are accomplishing this concentration. From the beginning of 1993 until the first quarter of 2004, the number of active commercial banks decreased from 87 to 59 and 27 fusions and assumptions were noticed. At the beginning of 2004 foreign investors controlled 46 commercial banks out of 59 operating in Poland. The value of their investments exceeded 7 .2 billions PLN and they owned 76.3% of equity and supplementary funds and 67.4% of assets. Owing to these investments, the banking sector development has started and the investors subsidised existing banks, improved infrastructure and made many innovations. The large foreign banks, which were set up as a result of concentration, made banking system more effective and facilitated development of national economy. On the other hand, the superior contribution of large foreign banks obstructs national financial policy and makes the financial sector sensitive to prosperity fluctuations and a crisis of the world banking system.

The state of the economy in any country determines the level of development of banking, since these two areas are directly interconnected and interdependent. This was confirmed again in 2020-21, when the world was hit by a pandemic associated with Covid19, which led to a fall in the economies of the countries of the world and, accordingly, to restrictions on the activities of all spheres, including the banking sector. The banking statistics of recent years characterize a rather tense situation in the industry, which cannot but arouse interest in studying both the causes and possible consequences not only for the banking business, but also for the economy as a whole. Despite the fact that in 2020 the banking sector of Kazakhstan showed a positive result, it is impossible to make an optimistic conclusion about a favorable situation in the banking business. It is necessary to pay attention to the importance of such an integrated approach due to the fact that recently there is often a one-sided interpretation of a commercial bank as a financial intermediary, which infringes on its role as a producer of loans, which are one of the main banking products. The bank, as a credit provider, has recently begun to lose its position in terms of its target direction in the real sector, reorienting itself to profitable and risky areas. The consequences of such a policy are felt, first of all, on the general state of the economy, the lag in the development of the real sector, and the outstripping growth of the financial market, which is disconnected from real projects. The article presents the results of a study conducted to assess the impact of current trends in the development of the banking sector on the prospects of the banking activities in Kazakhstan. Состояние экономики в любой стране определяет уровень развития банковской деятельности, поскольку эти две сферы непосредственно взаимосвязаны и взаимообусловлены. Это еще раз подтвердилось в 2020-21 годах, когда на мир обрушилась пандемия, связанная с Covid19, приведшая к падению экономик стран мира и, соответственно, к ограничениям деятельности всех сфер, в том числе банковского сектора. Статистика банковской деятельности последних лет характеризует достаточно напряженную ситуацию в отрасли, что не может не вызывать интереса к исследованию как причин, так и возможных последствий не только для банковского бизнеса, но и для экономики в целом. Несмотря на то, что за 2020 год банковский сектор Казахстана показал положительный результат, нельзя сделать оптимистичный вывод о благоприятной ситуации в сфере банковского бизнеса. Следует обратить внимание на важность такого комплексного подхода в связи с тем, что в последнее время часть встречается однобокая трактовкакоммерческого банка как финансового посредника, ущемляющая его роль как производителя кредитов, являющихся одними из главных банковских продуктов. Банк, как поставщик кредита, в последнее время стал терять свои позиции в части его целевого направления в отрасли реального сектора, переориентировавшись на прибыльные и рисковые направления. Последствия такой политики ощутимы, в первую очередь, на общем состоянии экономики, отставании развития реального сектора, опережении темпов роста финансового рынка, оторванного от реальных проектов. В статье приведены результаты исследования, проведенного с целью оценки влияния текущих трендов развития банковского сектора на перспективы банковской деятельности в Казахстане.

Climate goals can only be realized with a major shift in financing toward low-carbon, climate-resilient assets, notably infrastructure. Progress has been made, but the world is not currently on a viable let alone a just transition pathway. The rules and norms governing the financial system itself are an important factor shaping financial flows. Positively, recent developments highlight a growing receptivity on the part of financial market actors and those governing the financial system to take account of climate and broader sustainable development considerations. Building on such receptivity to reinforce the underlying broader purpose the financial system is a precondition for a just transition.

Over the past few weeks, the global financial system has appeared on the brink of collapse, as mounting bank losses and a lack of banking liquidity have resulted in a wave of collapsing financial institutions across Europe and the US. While the immediate threat to the financial system appears to have been averted, the continuing deleveraging process, declining asset prices and heightened uncertainty regarding the viability of financial institutions have sharply reduced the willingness and ability of banks to lend to each other and to other borrowers, and at the same time reduced the willingness of borrowers to increase their levels of debt. As the events of recent weeks have unfolded, it has become increasingly clear that the fallout from the financial market crisis will continue to restrict bank lending severely for at least the next several months, pushing the world's major economies into recession. As a consequence, growth in the OECD economies next year is projected to be the weakest since 1982, with output forecast to rise by just 0.4 per cent.

This paper examines the effect of financial market uncertainty on market returns of different countries of the world. The effect of other macroeconomic like Consumer Price Index (CPI), Real Interest Rates (R.IR), Market Capitalization (MCAP), and Gross Domestic Product per capita growth (GDPPCG).For analyzing this relationship, around 40 countries data including developed and developing countries, over the period of 10 years from 2009-2018. For analysis, Panel Least Square (PLS) was used. Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is used to check the overall strength of the model. Group correlation was also performed on overall variables to check the causal relationship between all the variables and individual regression tests are also conducted country wise to explore that how much this model is applicable, descriptive analysis for market return and uncertainty to check the moments of these variables. The overall results it is concluded that market returns are affected by the financial markets uncertainty in the long run and it is a significant variable in explaining market returns while overall test results proved a positive relationship with market returns but individual testing of this model on each country shows, more than half countries in the study have a negative relationship of financial market uncertainty with market returns. Along this, other macro-economic variables impact is also measured over market returns of the world which shows all variables Consumer Price Index, Real Interest Rates and Market Capitalization except Gross Domestic Product per capita growth have a negative relationship with the Equity Market returns.
