Responsible Lending

Research on financial sector activity is especially important for developing countries, including Georgia, as this sector is the main driving force of the country›s economy. Any economic reforms undertaken in the country have a significant impact on the general economic policy and economic growth.Under the new regulation from January 1, 2019 the lending procedure from the financial sector has been tightened. At present time, they operate by the principle of responsible lending, which means, that a potential customer of a bank product should not be subject to a financial obligation that he or she will not be able to pay without financial difficulties.The purpose of this study is to analyze the positive and negative effects of already existing responsible lending regulations, which is directing against indebtedness and to predict the expected future results. At the same time, the task of the research is to identify challenges, risks, results that accompany the reform based on the practices of developed and developing countries.The study uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Also, in the research are used methods of system analysis, analogy, forecasting, synthesis, processing of statistical data and other methods. The methodological of the research is the fundamental articles of economic science. The paper widely used scientific and popular works by local and foreign authors, scientific studies, methodological publications and articles. In the modern world any banking reform in developing and developed countries is linked to economic and political (often painful) changes, but this reform implementation is inevitable in all states, regardless of their level of development. The main reason for this is the reduction of indebtedness in the public and economic sectors, but this requires the introduction of a proper lending system that should not limit the development of the financial sector and, on the other hand, be an optimal source of replenishment of financial deficits.Interest rate cuts are likely to have a short-term effect, which will not only help tighten lending policy by itself, and will require other macro-prudential decisions, especially when the NBG has raised its refinancing rate from 6.5% to 7%, due to inflation targeting. It implements the monetary policy transmission mechanism and negatively impacts on the interest rate on loans issued by the banking sector and on aggregate demand itself, so economic growth is likely to be adjusted again.

Transformation of banking in the new paradigm strategy of Ukraine’s development Bohdan Lutsiv Abstract The article considers the issues of transformation of banking into the new strategy of Ukraine’s development in conformity with the accelerating comprehensive transformations of the modern world. It is found that the crisis of globalization is deepening, resulting in the end of the industrial matrix of globalization and the beginning of post-industrial paradigm. It is pointed out that due to the networking transformation of the world a strategic perspective is rather an apolar world than a multipolar one, or a world of equivalent entities. This signals the end of Euro-centrism. In the paper, it is shown that Ukraine’s course to European integration should correlate with current Euro-integration strategies. The systematic analysis of the modern state of the economic backwardness of Ukraine was carried out and the dynamic model of development with the new industrial policy in the reform of the economy was used. A system analysis of the current economic underdevelopment in Ukraine is carried out and a dynamic model of development with a new industrial policy is proposed. Taking into account the deterioration of investment climate, Ukraine’s position in the global investment flows is determined. The structure of capital investments is analyzed by funding sources. In order to mitigate investment risks, a scheme of interaction between tools and instruments used for attracting investments to Ukraine’s economy is proposed. It is stressed that a sustainable stabilization of Ukraine’s banking system is a key driver for the recovery of the real sector. Since the banking sector has been and continues to be a leader and a driving force for reforms in the country, the current state of Ukraine’s banking system after a “big banking cleansing” is assessed. It is concluded that restoration of lending is an essential result received from the transformation of banking. The roots of non-performing loans in bank portfolios are defined and ways for restructuring non-performing loans are outlined. It is noted that addressing the problem of insider lending plays an important role in improving loan portfolios.

Sustainable Financing

The paper concerns the issue of responsible involvement of commercial banks in Poland in green financing of the energy sector. The main reason for undertaking this topic is the observed increased interest of domestic banks in green financing of investments on the energy market in Poland. Therefore, the main objective are to explore the determinants of changes in the level and structure of bank loans under the influence of green investments in the energy sector in Poland. The article verifies the research hypothesis which assumes that an increase in financing green investments by bank loans in the energy market in Poland requires strengthening the synergy of responsible financing of sustainable development of the economy. For this purpose, a two-stage concept of the empirical research was adopted. On the first stage, questionnaire surveys were conducted among the largest Polish commercial banks to examine the respondents’ acceptance degree of the concept of sustainable financing and greening the loan portfolio. On the second stage, case studies were analyzed along with the analysis of selected secondary quantitative data. It was proven that commercial banks in Poland increase their commitment to sustainable financing, which is observed in the sectorally progressing process of “greening” the credit offer. There is also a noticeable change in their approach to social responsibility, especially in the context of the energy market, where financing of traditional, ecologically harmful projects is still dominant. However, this trend is slowly being reversed, towards supporting investments in the area of modern, environmentally-friendly energy solutions. However, “greening” of loan portfolios in the native banking sector requires a responsible lending policy based on various complex business decisions. Increasing their pro-ecological awareness of financing the economy is only a prerequisite, albeit inadequate, of further energy transformation in Poland.

A total of nine commercial banks, seven are foreign owned. Foreign investments are primarily generated as investments in shares of foreign shareholders from different countries of the world. Investments in securities have increased by the banking sector in 2014. With the change of the interest rate it has also changed net interest margin of the banking sector. Interest on loans and deposits has continued to decline. Especially interest rates on deposits in 2014 have fallen to 1. 1%. This linked to the investment bank in securities of our government as the initiator in this area but cannot be denied to the investment of foreign governments. With the decrease of credit interest rate will be the development of sustainable economic growth and boost investment.

System Paradigm

The development of the system paradigm in economic science leads to the formulation of a number of important questions to the political economy as one of the basic directions of economic theory. In this article, on the basis of system introspection, three questions are considered. The first is the relevance of the class approach to the structuring of the socio-economic space; the second is the feasibility of revising the notion of property in the modern world; the third is the validity of the notion of changing formations as the sequence of “slave-owning system — feudal system — capitalist system”. It is shown that in modern society the system approach to the structuring of socio-economic space is more relevant than the class one. Today the classical notion of “property” does not reflect the diversity of production and economic relations in society and should be replaced by the notion of “system property”, which provides a significant expansion of the concepts of “subject of property” and “object of property”. The change of social formations along with the linear component has a more influential cyclic constituent and obeys the system-wide cyclic regularity that reflects the four-cycle sequence of the dominance of one of the subsystems of the macrosystem: project, object, environment and process.

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia is attacking not only public health but also the economy. The presence of Covid-19 has many important impacts on developed countries. There are at least four industries most impacted by this pandemic, including households, MSMEs, companies and the financial industry. However, the halal industry is believed to be more resilient to the Covid-19 pandemic. This durability is because of the principles attributed to the halal sector, namely the importance of fairness, balance and openness. The author’s goal is therefore to carry out more in-depth research on the role of the halal industry in supporting the national economy, which is under pressure because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This type of study is a literature review with a material analysis approach that explores the conditions of the halal industry in Indonesia in depth. The material received is as books, published information, and online news. The findings of this study reveal that there are three halal business sectors that are believed to be more vulnerable to the Covid-19 pandemic in order to facilitate national economic recovery. Halal finance, halal food and halal fashion industries are among them. Halal finance from both the banking sector and the Islamic stock market has proved to be more robust than the mainstream financial sector. Besides guaranteed halal food, its wellbeing is also guaranteed, and halal fashion is now on the rise as Muslim fashion is increasingly innovative and global. We believe the three of them to have experienced vigorous growth, and also to continue to draw customers. And also after the Covid-19 pandemic, these three sectors could survive. Thus the halal industry also contributes to Indonesian economy.

Cyber Crimes

The technological revolution 4.0 brings great opportunities, but also cybercrimes to economic sectors, especially to banks. Using secondary data and survey results of 305 bank clients, the main findings of this paper are: (i) there are several types of cybercrimes in the banking sector; (ii) Vietnam is one of the top countries worldwide having hackers and being attacked by hackers, especially the banking sector. Three most common attacks are skimming, hacking and phishing. Number of cybercrime attacks in Vietnam are increasing rapidly over years; (iii) Vietnamese customers are very vulnerable to cybercrime in banking, as more than 58% seem to hear about cybercrimes, and how banks provide services to let them know about their transactions. However, more than 50% do not have any deep knowledge or any measures for preventing cybercrime; (iii) Customers believe in banks, but do not think that banks can deal with cybercrime issues well. They still feel traditional transactions are more secure than e-transactions; (iv) the reasons for high cybercrimes come from commercial banks (low management and human capacity), supporting environment (inadequate), legal framework (not yet strong and strict enough on cybercrimes), and clients (low level of financial literacy). Therefore, several solutions should be carried out, from all stakeholders, for improving the cybersecurity in Vietnamese banks.

The article considers the current and future systems for assessing the effectiveness of the use of state resources to create a national innovation system as a factor in improving the economic security of the state, the author develops a methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of the use of state resources to create a national innovation system. The cyclical development of the world economy in the conditions of globalization is connected, first of all, with the change of technological structures, as well as with the provision of competitiveness for all levels of economic management. In the domestic and foreign economic literature, there is an idea of the national innovation system, which covers all types of economic objects in the country with innovations, increasing their competitiveness, and, thus, the national economy as a whole, and also directly affects the increase in the level of economic security of the country. Most developed countries and many developing countries have already established or are in the process of establishing their national innovation systems, built either on the basis of models already known and tested in other countries, or new, unique models for building innovation systems. The differences between these models of creation of national innovation systems of different countries are, both in the levels of economic objects, which are the basis of innovative breakthrough, and in the degree of use of public resources: "centralized model", based on public resources, or "market model", or a mixed model of "public-private partnership". These issues are the basis for consideration of the presented article. The methodological basis for writing the article was modern scientific research methods, including: dialectical method, method of system analysis, methods of analogy, comparative analysis, expert methods, structural-functional and normative approaches.

The Impact

Russia’s entry into the top five economies of the world depends, among other things, on the development of the financial sector, being a necessary condition for the economic growth of a developed macroeconomic and macro-financial system. The financial sector represents a system of relationships for the effective collection and distribution of economic resources, their deployment according to public demand, reducing the risk of overproduction and overheating of the economy.Therefore, the subject of the research is the financial sector of the Russian economy.The purpose of the research was to formulate an approach to alleviating the risks of increasing financial costs in the real sector of the economy by reducing the impact of endogenous risks expressed as financial asset “bubbles” using the experience of developed countries in the monetary policy.The paper analyzes a macroeconomic model applied to the financial sector. It is established that the economic growth is determined by the growth and, more important, the qualitative development of the financial sector, which leads to two phenomena: overproduction in the real sector and an increase in asset prices in the financial sector, with a debt load in both the real and financial sectors. This results in decreasing the interest rate of the mega-regulator to near-zero values. In this case, since the mechanisms of the conventional monetary policy do not work, the unconventional monetary policy is used when the mega-regulator buys out derivative financial instruments from systemically important institutions. As a conclusion, given deflationally low rates, it is proposed that the megaregulator should issue its own derivative financial instruments and place them in the financial market.
