The article considers the investment activity of banks as an alternative to lending, which will help to further restore the banking system. The reasons that motivate banks to carry out investment activities are identified, namely: expansion of income and customer base; high risk of credit operations and the desire to optimize the taxation of bank income. The analysis of efficiency of the formed portfolio of securities in bank, on an example of JSC ProCredit Bank is carried out. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the assessment of the quality of the bank's investment portfolio has certain features related to determining the amount of problem investments, as the bank's balance sheet lacks information on the riskiness of certain securities, and it is proposed to apply fixed risk ratios securities. Despite the impact of COVID-19 on the country's economy, the banking sector gradually continued to stabilize. Banks' investment activities are an alternative to lending, which will help the banking system to recover further. Investments create conditions for expanded reproduction, structural transformations in the country, increasing the competitiveness of domestic products, solving socio-economic problems. Ways to improve the efficiency and quality of investment management of the bank through the optimal combination of centralization and decentralization for investment management; efforts to create new goals and objectives to improve the organization of analytical support of the investment management process; support for constant information support of the investment management process; advanced training of managers related to the management of investment activities. Therefore, the worst quality of the portfolio was in 2019 and 2020, due to the fact that the securities portfolio included only investments in securities for sale.

The growing investment activity of banking sector organisations is an important condition for securing diversification of assets and obtaining additional sources of income, as well as maintaining the required level of liquidity. Economic crises and instability of stock markets affect the investment policy of a bank, the quality of its investment portfolio, and the scope of investment transactions with securities. The purpose of the research is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the investment mechanism of the Russian banking sector and its organisation, to characterise the investment policy and risks connected with investment activities, to determine the criteria for financial instruments included in the structure of investment portfolios of Russian credit institutions. The authors used the analytical, regulatory, comparative, and statistical methods of research to define the dynamics, composition, and structure of investment portfolios and risks involved in the business of financial and credit institutions, in the course of the formation of investment policy. It was concluded, as a result of the research, that enhanced performance, stability, and liquidity of credit institutions were conditioned by the structure and quality of portfolio investments. Improving the efficiency of the banking investment mechanism is a priority area of development, for strengthening the competitive positions of credit institutions in the national banking system. The article presents conclusions regarding the quality of investment operations and transactions with securities effectuated by banks at the present stage. The authors undertook a comparative analysis of indicators characterising the structure of investment assets of the banking sector, grouped by types of investment portfolio. Proceeding from the above, particular directions were developed for practical use, that allow for efficient selection of stock market instruments for inclusion in the investment portfolio of credit institutions in the conditions of high volatility and uncertainty of the financial market.

Human capital management (HCM) inside large systems is very complex and demanding, to achieve successful accomplishment high quality information support is necessary. There are many cases where human capital management process is not conducted in a satisfactory way. Key decisions usually come late, very often because of impossibility to consider a problem in its entirety. The cause of it usually lies in weakness and understatement of the human capital management itself and in this connection data management is not given adequate consideration. Data originating from inside and outside sources within information system (IS) are not integrated in a way which will provide an optimal use. In this connection, this paper examines possibilities to innovate the entire human capital management process through the integration of respective data. Data warehousing (DW) possibilities and position within the integral business intelligence (BI) concept are noted as a first step towards its realization. In this paper the necessity to innovate and promote permanently the quality of human capital management process is considered; the main features of the process are given as well. Business process innovation (BPI) as a systematic approach with a view to achieve significant business process change is presented; its connection with data aspect of IS is given too. According to the research of this paper, HCM BPI is achieved by the data integration within existing IS. DW model intended for HCM has been elaborated as a solution which will innovate the process itself. The position and the role of DW within entire BI organization concept have been established as well. Finally, the benefits achieved by the research are explained.

An important and topical issue for Ukraine is the issue of improving the organizational, economic and legal foundations of effective lending activities of domestic banks. The ability of the latter to satisfy public needs for loans contributes to the development of the country’s economy. The stability of the banking system largely depends on the level of efficiency of banks’ lending activities. The revitalization of the lending activity of Ukrainian banks in recent years has been accompanied by a simultaneous decrease in its profitability, which is primarily due to the instability of financial markets, imperfect regulatory framework and a high level of competition. Under such conditions, the requirements for the quality of the management process in banks are growing, in particular, there is a need to develop new and improve existing methods for assessing and increasing the efficiency of lending activities.

This paper investigates whether and at what extent private firms reduce the quality of their accruals in order to signal a better portrait to the bank and obtain new or larger bank loans. We measure earnings discretionary accruals of a sample of Italian private firms, testing whether new and larger bank loans are associated with a higher (lower) quality of earnings in borrowers' financial reporting. We study bank loan levels and changes and how they impact discretionary accruals and found that, surprisingly, private firms' discretionary accruals are systematically positively affected by an increase in bank loans, although they are negatively affected by the credit worthiness rating assigned to the borrowers. We find that the monitoring role of the banking system with regard to the adoption of discretionary accruals is effective only when the loan is very large. This paper may have implications for policy-makers as it contributes to the understanding of the shortcomings of the banking regulatory system. This is an extremely relevant issue since the excessive amount of non-performing loans held by Italian banks recently threatened the stability of the European Banking Union as a whole.

Having access to a safe water supply is important to improve a person's quality of life. We examine the relationship between the influence of water availability on monthly household expenditures (the dependent variable) and independent variables such as household characteristics, tank size, usage instructions and post-construction guidance, including the management of water-related health risks. The sample consisted of 301 respondents who harvest rainwater in Uganda. A multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings show that post-construction guidance and tank size were significant variables. This study suggests the need for a follow-up to improve health after the installation of water supply equipment, i.e., to provide information about water risks, foster reading norms and facilitate the availability and affordability of information sources, e.g., subsidised newspapers and information support devices (computers). Additionally, this study shows the possibility of increased savings due to reduced expenditures on water from vendors and the management of water-related health risks caused by a water shortage, e.g., dehydration. Overall, the study reveals two possible ways to advance policy and health in developing countries: (1) ensuring sufficient post-construction guidance for all water resources; and (2) ensuring a sustainable supply of adequate safe water in households.

Purpose This paper aims to present a model of shareholders’ willingness to exert effort to reduce the likelihood of bank distress and the implications of the presence of contingent convertible (CoCo) bonds in the liabilities structure of a bank. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a basic model about the moral hazard surrounding shareholders willingness to exert effort that increases the likelihood of a bank’s success. This study uses a one-shot game and so do not capture the effects of repeated interactions. Findings Consistent with the existing literature, this study shows that the direction of the wealth transfer at the conversion of CoCo bonds determines their impact on shareholder risk-taking incentives. This study also finds that “anytime” CoCos (CoCo bonds trigger-able anytime at the discretion of managers) have a minor advantage over regular CoCo bonds, and that quality of capital requirements can reduce the risk-taking incentives of shareholders. Practical implications This study argues that shareholders can also use manager-specific CoCo bonds to reduce the riskiness of the bank activities. The issuance of such bonds can increase the resilience of individual banks and the whole banking system. Regulators can use restrictions on conversion rates and/or requirements on the quality of capital to address the impact of CoCo bonds issuance on risk-taking incentives. Originality/value To model the risk-taking incentives, authors generally modify the asset processes to introduce components that reflect asymmetric information between CoCo holders and shareholders and/or managers. This paper follows a simpler method similar to that of Holmström and Tirole (1998).
