Instabilities in the banking sector have had an adverse effect on the economy as a whole, since the largest share in the financial system and financial intermediation in Kyrgyzstan have been captured by banking sector. Economic efficiency in banking can be viewed as a source of financial stability of banking system. Economic efficiency of the banking is more important challenge not only for shareholders and managers of banks, and also for regulation and supervision authorities, and public and potential investors. The aim of this study is to examine factors affecting the banking cost efficiency for Kyrgyz banks. It is also important to choose the appropriate approach in measurement of banking cost efficiency, since there are many different methods. In this study preferred stochastic frontier approach which assumes random error term which captures sampling, measurement and specification errors. We adopted stochastic cost frontier model proposed by Battese ve Coelli (1995) which also allow to examine investigate the impact of variables on efficiency. We used unbalanced panel data set captured 17-23 Kyrgyz commercial banks for period of 2000-2013. Obtained results suggest that capitalization, foreign ownership, credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk have most influence on cost efficiency scores of banks calculated averagely at level of 0,766. Overall results indicate that domestic banks more cost efficient than domestic private and foreign banks. Average cost efficiency scores of domestic banks, foreign and separately public banks are 0,848; 0,649 and 0,875, respectively.

The article covers the problems of the functioning of the banking sector of Ukraine during 2018-2021, as one of the main sectors of the financial market and the national economy as a whole. When analyzing the state of the banking sector, regularities and general trends in the functioning of the banking sector of Ukraine have been established, and appropriate calculations have been made. The impact of global financial crises on the activities of banking structures, which must operate in conditions of constant financial instability, is described. Today, the whole world, including Ukraine, is on the verge of a global financial and economic crisis. This raises the question of whether Ukrainian banks have the necessary margin of resilience to vulnerabilities to the financial and economic crisis. In recent years, the functioning and development of the banking system has been characterized by increased financial stability, the level of bank capitalization, liquidity, some improvement in asset quality, reducing risks in banking, as well as the presence of positive structural changes. Today, Ukraine's banking system operates in a complex socio-economic and legal environment, most of which - macroeconomic instability, irrational structure of the industrial complex, the crisis of science and technology, imperfect fiscal and monetary policy, low level of effective demand - complicate sustainable development banking sector and increase competitiveness. In conditions of instability, intensification of turbulent processes, the development of the banking system requires new innovative approaches to determining the mechanisms of effective functioning and stable development based on a system-synergetic approach, which led to the choice and relevance of the chosen topic of this scientific article. Efficiency of banks is a multicomponent, multifaceted, multidimensional system characteristic that depends on many factors and is an effective indicator of performance of functions and achievement of goals and objectives of banks development provided financial stability based on financial stability and dynamic balance, achievement of multiplicative and synergistic effects.

The monetary policy of Bosnia andHerzegovina is rather limited because it is basedon the principles of a currency boardcharacterized by the impossibility of implementingthe basic monetary policy instruments incomparison with the monetary policy of theEuropean Union. However, the constant presenceof European integrations should point the need fora more drastic change in the monetary policy ofBosnia and Herzegovina. By entering theEuropean Monetary Union (EMU), the monetaryterritory of Bosnia and Herzegovina will becomeone of the branches of the European Central Bank(ECB). In addition, it is not difficult to concludewhy the Law about the Central Bank of Bosnia andHerzegovina has been adopted with the first lawsof the Dayton Agreement, if it is known that thelargest part of the banking system, and thereforethe financial market, is owned by foreign banks.This work will point out the significance of theCentral Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as oneof the most important factors for maintaining thepermanent liquidity of the banking sector inBosnia and Herzegovina. The possibilities andlimitations of the Central Bank of Bosnia andHerzegovina will be determined, with theassumption of macroeconomic sustainability overa longer period of time. The need of reforming thebanking system in Bosnia and Herzegovina will beanalyzed through the constant implementation ofthe Basel standards with the increasingparticipation of foreign banks in the Bosnia andHerzegovina. It will be determined the impact ofthe implementation of the Basel III in the bankingindustry in Bosnia and Herzegovina and itsconsequences on the banking and economicsystem.models, on the ways of financing theelimination of adverse consequences of naturaldisasters.

Government officials in China have taken different views regarding shadow banking. Some have seen the industry as overly risky, potentially undermining the formal financial system, while others have asserted that it is an increasingly important part of the financial system, filling a gap in finance provision to particular sectors and smaller firms. Do their views matter? Regulators have striven to crack down on the riskiest practices in shadow banking, but are the policies effective? In this article, we analyze the impact of government attitudes and actions on the shadow banking sector. Using a unique data set based on information collected from various sources in a difference-in-difference model, we find that shadow banking regulation plays a strong role in China’s financial sector, while contradictory government views (in the form of commentary in the People’s Daily) on shadow banking do not. This reveals that shadow banking is strongly affected by political authority when it is codified into regulation. Only some aspects of shadow banking can be legitimized through regulation, while the remainder of China’s financial system remains constrained due to state dominance over the financial sector. This underscores the “funny” nature of shadow banking’s money flows. This article is one of the first to study the effects of government views and regulations on the shadow banking system.

The article examines modern approaches to the organization of the risk management process in Ukrainian banks. Requirements for modeling banking risks are growing in modern conditions. Recent financial and economic crises have demonstrated the devastating effects of unforeseen risks. The dynamic development of banking technologies and products requires a detailed analysis of the possible consequences of their implementation. Contingency losses require a probabilistic study. The buffer for the absorption of these losses is the capital of the bank. Losses from anticipated risks include the creation of reserves. The basis of modern approaches to risk modeling is the recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The National Bank of Ukraine clearly regulates the requirements for the organization of risk management systems, but does not interfere in the construction of models. Banks develop internal policies, procedures and risk management models independently. In recent years, domestic banks have made significant progress in modeling and stress testing of risks. Each bank carries out a comprehensive assessment of at least the following significant types of risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk of the banking book, market risk, operational risk, compliance risk, and other significant types of risks. The issue of validation of risk assessment models by external experts is very relevant. Such specialists may be scientists who conduct research in the field of finance, banking and economic and mathematical methods of modeling complex systems. The interaction of scientists and practitioners has a double effect. Scholars are able to provide useful advice on the features of models and tools for assessing risks, systemic risks and financial stability of the banking sector at the macro level. Specific models of banks lay the foundations for current research topics of teachers and graduates. The authors of the article share the experience of model validation, analyze the current state of the banking system and the risk profile of domestic banks. Bank reporting data are considered in the dynamics and analyzed in terms of specific risks. The obtained conclusions are compared with the Risk Map of banks of the National Bank of Ukraine.

<p>There are two hypotheses about the relationship between competition and financial stability in the banking system: “competition-fragility” view argues that competition makes banks more likely totake excessive risks, thereby leading to fragility, while “competition-stability” view suggests that higherinterest rates in less competitive environments may cause borrowers to take higher risks,resulting in higher probability of non-performing loans and a more fragile system. This paper empirically examines the impact of competition on Nepalese banking system employing annual data of commercial banks from 1999 to 2012 period using fixed effects panel data model. The study period represents the era of rapid growth in financial institutions in Nepal. The HHI and n-bank concentration ratios are used as measure of competition while Z-index and nonperforming loans ratioare used as proxies of financial stability. The effects of macroeconomic factors and bank specific indicators are also taken into account. The results reveal that there is apositive relationship between greater banking competition and financial stability in Nepal, supporting the “competition-stability” view. Competition in banking sector is found to result in decrease in credit risk and contribute for financial stability. Mixed results have been achieved incase of the impact of bank competition on overall stability. The findings indicate that both higher concentration and higher competition are detrimental for stability. Hence, policymakers should facilitate further consolidation in the financial industry, however, it should be ensured that excessive consolidation doesn’t result in an environment that hinders competition. In addition,besides competition level in the banking system, macroeconomic situation of the country is found to be an important determinant of banking system stability.</p><p><em> </em><strong><em>Economic Literature</em></strong><em>, </em>Vol. XIII August 2016, page 19-31</p>

The aim of present study is to empirically examine the impact of bank-specific determinants on the profitability of Indian public sector banks. A balanced panel data set comprising 280 observations of 28 Indian public sector banks over the period of ten years from 2006-07 to 2015-16 is used. The relevant financial data are collected from the Capitaline database. Net profit to Total funds is used as proxy for profitability of banks. A fixed effect regression model is built by devising statistical software STATA. The empirical results demonstrate non-uniform effects of selected financial characteristics on banks’ profitability. The results also reveal that deposit ratios are the significant determinants of banks’ profitability while Other Income to Total Income and Interest Income to Total Funds results a significant negative influence on bank performance. The results provide valuable insights to the banks that may assist in sustaining the financial stability in banking sector.

The urgency of the issue is related to changes in the Ukrainian banks’ business environment, taking into account the impact of domestic and global financial instability and the implementation of the regulatory framework for banking regulation of the National Bank of Ukraine in accordance with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision recommendations. The main goal of this research is to analyze the degree of implementation and compliance with the Basel III regulations in Ukrainian banking system. To carry out the research, regulatory and legislative documents of the National Bank of Ukraine, the Basel Accords, statistic data of the Ukrainian banks and the National Bank of Ukraine were used. For this purpose, the analysis of main indicators of Ukrainian banks’ financial stability within the period of 2014–2017 is made. Thus, post-crisis regulatory changes have aimed at restoring bank stability. The results seem to suggest that bank regulatory changes may be repressive, for instance, cleaning and optimization of the banking system as an effective tool for anticrisis management. As a result, it was concluded that banks with foreign capital are the most stable in the banking system of Ukraine in comparison with domestic banks.

Received 16.10.2020. The article examines the most recent developments in the evolution of the foreign banks in China. Author provides a brief description of the stages of development of foreign banks in the PRC since the start of the Den Xiaopin’s Reform and Development policy till the present time. The change in assets of foreign banks for the last 15 years is analyzed in details. A comparison of assets of foreign banks with the assets of the China banking system is provided in a form of analytical graph. The author’s assessments of the foreign banking sector over the past ten years give grounds to conclude that there was a stagnation in the development of the foreign banks sector during this period. The recent steps of the Chinese authorities to liberalize the foreign banking sector are analyzed in detail. The author examines the Chinese leader’s systematic approach to the banking reforms and comes to the idea that it consists of three components: the change in the political vision and attitudes, the institution reform of the banking regulators and the reform of banking legislation. An assessment of the impact of liberalization on the development prospects of foreign capital banks is also given. Based on an analysis of the overall scale and impact of recent reforms in the foreign banking sector, the author concludes that a new stage in the development of foreign capital banks in China is likely to begin. The main problems and challenges that foreign banks in China will have to face at a new stage of development are also identified and described.

Annotation. Introduction. Permanent financial crises, currency fluctuations, inflation expectations, intensification of competition, increasing regulatory requirements for bank capital and risk reserves, military-political instability, globalization processes - all this is pressure for a stable financial condition of the banking system. Given the Anglo-Saxon structure of the financial market of Ukraine, banks are in fact the only internal source of capital for individuals and legal entities, which determines the importance of the impact of the banking system on the financial security of the state. In the conditions of dynamism of the modern world the question of preservation of reliability and efficiency of the modern bank becomes more and more actual. The issue of crisis prevention, threats, risks is given considerable attention in world practice, which is due to the need to maintain public confidence in banking institutions. The resilience of the banking system and its members to internal and external threats cannot be ensured without effective tools for control and influence by the regulator. The state is directly responsible for ensuring not only the stable development of the banking services market, but also the effective functioning of all components of the financial system. Timely analysis of indicators of financial stability of the banking system allows to identify the main problems in the activities of domestic banks and identify areas for their elimination, which will ensure the stability of economic development of the state. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to clarify the essence of the concepts of "financial stability of the banking system" and "financial security of the state", as well as to determine the relationship between financial stability of the banking system and financial security of the state. Results. It is determined that assessing the financial stability of the banking system is an important strategic task to ensure the financial security of the state. The interconnectedness and the place of financial stability of the banking system among such categories as stability, security, efficiency and reliability are substantiated. As a result of the calculation, the place of the banking component in the general structure of the financial security of the state was clarified. The analysis allowed to systematize the main threats to the financial security of the state, the source of which are the factors of the banking sector
