The article aims at substantiating the theoretical and methodological foundations of research in bank consolidation and assessing its consequences in order to identify the relationship between consolidation and the banking market structure. The main preconditions and priorities of consolidation are systematized and generalized, taking into account the theory of financial integration and synergetic interaction. This approach will contribute to deeper understanding of the motives and trends of consolidation in modern conditions. It is noted that the transnationalization and concentration of capital form the basis for market consolidation, which goes through a certain life cycle, the latter being specified by the authors. It is concluded that the universal, integrated nature of financial business and the formation of financial business ecosystems is becoming more widespread. The main changes in financial mediation are identified. Statistics of banking concentration in Ukraine is given. The dynamics of concentration ratio for the period from January 1, 2000 to August 1, 2020 was analyzed, revealing that the market is moderately concentrated. It is stipulated that the higher the combined share of the five major banks in the banking sector, the less likely a domestic merger and acquisition is. Accordingly, the domestic banking market, compared to European ones, has significant potential. It is concluded that the high values of profitability indicators speak of excess demand over supply in the banking market; thus, competitive intensity under such conditions is minimal, even with the withdrawal of most banks from the market. Thus, competition is only declared. In the future, we should expect increased non-interest rate competition. It is noted that competitive intensity depends on the concentration, dynamics and profitability of the banking market. Competition assessment, carried out using non-structural measures, H-statistics, Boone indicators and Lerner index, showed that, since the an individual bank does not build up its range of activity through consolidation, or by redistributing its market share among participants, but due to the growing demand for banking services, and remote services in particular, competition is actually reduced. The research confirmed that the processes of concentration, consolidation and competition are interconnected, and this connection should be identified to better understand the formation of the banks’ functional strategy and their choice of the business model.

The article examines the market of banking services in Ukraine through comparing indicators of competitiveness of Ukrainian banks and banks with foreign capital in the domestic market and global market. Taking into account the network-type structure of banks, six groups of banks are determined according to the degree of branching, namely: systemically important banks, all-Ukrainian equilibrium banks, all-Ukrainian concentrated banks, regional banks, local individual banks, closed banks. A particular emphasis is placed on a range of banking services and pricing policies of banks groups. The classification of factors developed by M. Yokoi-Arai and N. Yoshino is used in order to assess the competitiveness of Ukraine’s banks in terms of effectiveness and volume of services provided, information technology and resource management. About fifty indicators of banking activites performed by groups of banks with domestic and foreign capital are compared, and also best-performing banks in these groups are described based on the analysis of 82 operating banks in Ukraine. The article presents evidence that, under current conditions in Ukraine, banks with domestic and foreign capital are represented in all categories of banking services. It is pointed out that the highest competitiveness of Ukraine’s banks is observed in developing the network of ATM terminals, promoting Internet banking and, thus, a wide coverage of banking services. It is noted that Ukraine’s banks are less competitive in providing services for big businesses, international companies, funding projects, innovations and start-ups. The findings of the research paper can be useful for educational purposes as well as for professionals in the banking sector.

In recent years the services sector has been playing a dominant role in economic and social life, as reflected by its predominant share in the creation of gross value added, and a growing share of employment. The aim of the article is to draw attention to the development of financial and banking services in Poland as compared to other EU countries. To assess the similarity between the countries multidimensional scaling method was used. The research was based on data for 2014 derived from the European Central Bank. Most of the indicators compared showed a significant — but decreasing — distance between Poland and other EU countries. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the development of the banking sector both in Poland and in other EU countries depends on the level of economic development and the situation on the banking market.

In the banking sector, competition management is based on the principles of marketing and management using marketing methodology. With the development of cross-border cooperation of the banking services market, the study of competition in cross-border markets of this type is key and promising. In the case of competent cross-border interaction, banks maintain their competitiveness, and cooperation between bordering states increases the intensity of interstate relations in the banking services market. The purpose of this article is to form a model of marketing management of competition in cross-border conditions, taking into account the industry specifics of the banking services market. The main approach to competition management is the marketing approach, which implies a macroeconomic isolation from the global economic system, accelerates the pace of expansion of transnational capital and allows you to form a successful experience in the development of competition and prevention of monopolistic activities. In the course of the study, the author concluded that the hypothesis of the study is fully proven. The main stages of assessing the risk of violations of competition conditions in the cross-border banking market are highlighted. The proposed model of marketing management of competition in cross-border conditions, taking into account the industry specifics of the banking services market, contributes to the development of the foundations of the modern marketing concept. The methodology developed by the author for assessing the risk of violations of competition conditions in the cross-border market of banking services in the management of competition is of scientific value and novelty.

Albania has a relatively new financial system, where banking system is the most developed financial service in our country, with a share of 94, 4% of the total financial services. This is a phenomenon of countries with emerging economies, which proves that there is greater reliance on the state economic development of the banking sector, by effecting from the households to the biggest investors and the government. As in any market, competition is important for the banking sector because, it affects the efficiency and the quality of services offered. Furthermore, competition in banking has also implications for other sectors of the economy. So, higher competition in the banking sector is found to be associated with a faster growth of other sectors of the economy that rely on external financing. The main goal of this paper is to understand the characteristics of competition in our banking system and study the relationship between the level of concentration and competition. We are going to measure the concentration by the “H” indices. The “H” (Herfindaflit) indices is a measure of the level of the concentration of the banking system of a country. A high level of the indices shows a high level of concentration and as a consequence a low level of competition. A low level of the indices shows a low level of concentration which is sign of a banking market with a high competition.

This article attempts to find answers to questions of current significance: How concentrated is Ukraine’s banking system from the viewpoint of the world’s best regulatory practices and in comparison with other countries? What has been the driving force behind the growing concentration in recent years and does this process pose a threat to competition in the banking system? What effect would mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector have on the concentration of the banking system? And finally, do public authorities have to stimulate consolidation in the banking system or, on the contrary, restrain potential bank mergers and acquisitions? The results of empirical analysis dispel the persisting myths about the risks of fast and excessive concentration resulting from continuing market consolidation and about the substantial impact of inequality on the growing concentration, and refute the perceived danger of mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector. Instead, it was discovered that concentration of banking assets in Ukraine is not substantial according to the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI), CRn concentration index and other ratios. At the same time, in the conditions of continuing consolidation of the banking system via mergers and acquisitions and a decreasing number of banks, upward trends are observed within moderate, average European levels. Therefore, these new conditions require closer attention on the part of banking regulators to assess possible consequences of concentration. This article provides recommendations to the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) on how to improve monitoring of banking concentration processes and better regulate consolidation processes in bank mergers and acquisitions. A complex of preventive macroprudential measures was offered to offset the negative consequences of concentration and achieve an optimal degree of market consolidation.
