The article examines the global and Russian experience in analyzing the influence of concentration and competition on the functioning of the banking sector, including the mortgage market. The information on housing loans issued by banks in the regions of Russia is used and the level of concentration in the regional housing lending markets is estimated. It is shown that regional housing loan markets are highly concentrated. It has been revealed that the concentration level negatively affects the dynamics of housing lending in the regions of the country. High concentration is also associated with slightly higher lending interest rates and their smaller spread. This may be the evidence that high concentration hinders the development of lending in the regions of Russia, which means that the level of competition in the banking sector is insufficient.

The article considers the structure of mortgage lending of PJSC "VTB24", presents the functions of the Department of mortgage lending and the Department of conclusion and support of mortgage transactions. The scheme of the mortgage transaction is analyzed and its advantages and disadvantages are given. At the moment, there is a high probability of further curtailment of Bank licenses and the flow of depositors ' funds to larger banks at lower interest rates. At the same time, the Central Bank allows for a 2 – fold drop in profits from banking activities to the level of 300 billion rubles a year. At the present stage of development of the Russian economy, the banking sector is no longer experiencing a period of rapid growth, as it was a year and a half earlier. However, credit institutions continue to slowly increase the volume of lending operations, thus trying to ensure the gradual saturation of the Russian market of banking services. The growth of assets of Russian banks is based on the increase in the volume of loans granted. Lending to the economy and the population has firmly taken the place of the main type of banking activity. The most rapidly developing segment of the credit services market is lending to the population. The mortgage market should be considered as part of the interaction between the banking market, the real estate market, the insurance market and the securities market and their derivatives. The level of development of the mortgage market depends on the level of development of these markets. They are interrelated and interdependent elements of a single mortgage system in the country. In turn, the mortgage market can also be seen as a necessary element of the above markets

Subject. We consider the economic relations, arising in the process of the analysis of the financial and economic state of the housing (mortgage) loan market during crises. Objectives. The aim is to conduct a study within the practical concept of financial crises and the residential mortgage market, to identify cause-effect relationships. Methods. We apply analytical and expert methods, based on the analysis of residential mortgage market data and the activities of the Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending. Results. The study determines the segmented role of digitalization of the banking sector in the system of State programs intended to support the residential mortgage market. We reveal causal relationships between financial crises and the residential mortgage market on the basis of a factor analysis. Conclusions. During 2008 and 2014, the government regulation of the banking crisis was only through changing the level of the key rate. It resulted in an increase in interest rates and a decrease in demand for mortgage loans, as affordable mortgage interest rates still remain the main driver of mortgage lending for citizens. This scenario gives rise to a stagnation of the residential mortgage lending market and, consequently, a very long recovery period. In contrast to the scenario of 2020, where we see an active growth in mortgage lending against the background of the financial crisis, the reason was the implemented set of measures that triggered the growth and formed a safety cushion for the banking sector in the form of secured lending.

With the globalization, the world has been becoming a much smaller place. New types of business have been emerging. Depending on this situation, new corporations are founded in current and emerging sectors. This causes an increase in competition. On the other hand, a variety of sectors are regulated intensively which result in a high concentration. Banking sectors is one of these sectors at where regulations are much and entry barriers are high. It is aimed at examining concentration from competition perspectives Turkish Banking Sector (TBS). It is concluded that TBS generally has a non-concentrated industry structure in terms of total assets, total credits, total deposits, total equities, and total net profits. Exceptions are seen in total net profits and in total deposits. Concentration level generally has decreased from 1999 (1,172 on average) to 2018 (899 on average calculated by Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). It is recommended that necessary precautions should be taken by regulatory bodies in order to decrease concentration and increase competition in TBS.

The subject of this paper is to measure the efficiency of the Macedonian banking sector by applying two approaches: firstly, comparative analysis on the efficiency indicators of the banking sector in the Republic of Macedonia and the countries of Central and Southeastern Europe (CSEE) and secondly, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The aim is to provide directions and guidelines for further strengthening of the Macedonian banking sector. According to the comparative analysis of the efficiency indicators (net interest margin and operating costs) of the Macedonian banking sector and the countries of CSEE, the countries whose banking sector shows lower operating costs are characterized with a higher level of financial deepening and greater degree of financial intermediation. The high interest margins direct towards unsuitable allocation of financial resources and insufficient competitiveness in the domestic banking sector. When applying the DEA approach, it can be stated that the group of large banks marks the highest efficiency within the Macedonian banking sector. The high concentration degree of banking activities within the group of large banks with a leading role in determining the interest rates, results in a rigid interest policy of the banks. In the direction of strengthening the efficiency of the Macedonian banking sector as a whole, the obtained results show that it is necessary for the banks to be further consolidated so as to utilize the advantages of the economies of scale, increase competitiveness, offer a diversified structure of products, invest in new contemporary software solutions that will allow reinforcement of their employees? productivity and long-term reduction of the operating costs, as well.

Demand Equations

This work examines the current world experience in assessing the sensitivity of household mortgage borrowing to interest rates. The data of the “bank— region—year” format are used to estimate supply and demand equations for housing loans issued by banks in the regions of the country in 2015—2018. Our estimations have revealed that the demand on the mortgage market in the regions is sensitive to the price of loans: when weighted average rate at which a bank issues mortgages in a region is lower by 1 percentage point it is associated with an increase in demand up to 20—25%, all other things being equal, that is, when taking into account the number of offices of a bank in that region, the economic situation and region’s characteristics in that year. Demand for mortgages is elastic at interest rates, which means that by lowering rates on mortgage programs, banks can expect an increase in demand, due both to an increase in overall demand for loans and to an overflow of borrowers from other banks. Consequently, it was confirmed that high interest rates on mortgages hinder the development of housing lending.

The paper identifies and assesses the closeness of the connection between incremental indicators of the financial development in the regions of Russia with the incremental regional GDP and the investment in fixed capital. It is shown that the positioning of the region as an independent participant of public debt market matters: the regional GDP and investment in fixed capital grow more rapidly in the regions which are regularly borrowing on the sub-federal bonds market. The paper also demonstrates that the poorly developed financial system in some regions have caused the imperfection of the growth mechanisms since the economy is not able to use the financial system’s functions.

Well-established results indicate that export diversification might be a better growth strategy for an emerging economy as long as its GDP per capita level is smaller than an empirically defined threshold. As average incomes in Russian regions are likely to be far below the threshold, it might be important to estimate their diversification potential. The paper discusses the Atlas of economic complexity for Russian regions created to visualize regional export baskets, to estimate their complexity and evaluate regional export potential. The paper’s results are consistent with previous findings: the complexity of export is substantially higher and diversification potential is larger in western and central regions of Russia. Their export potential might become larger if western and central regions, first, try to join global value added chains and second, cooperate and develop joint diversification strategies. Northern and eastern regions are by contrast much less complex and their diversification potential is small.

The paper analyzes the impact of the federal regulatory burden on poverty dynamics in Russia. The paper provides regional level indices of the federal regulatory burden on the economy in 2008—2018 which take into account sectoral structure of regions’ output and the level of regulatory rigidity of federal regulations governing certain types of economic activity. Estimates of empirical specifications of poverty theoretical model with the inclusion of macroeconomic and institutional factors shows that limiting the scope of the rulemaking activity of government bodies and weakening of new regulations rigidity contributes to a statistically significant reduction in the level of poverty in Russian regions. Cancellation of 10% of accumulated federal level requirements through the “regulatory guillotine” administrative reform may take out of poverty about 1.1—1.4 million people.
