The research examines an approach to forecast return on equity using leading economic indicators for short periods in banks. ROE is one of the most important ratios for performance measurement. Its adequacy is necessary for competitiveness, attract funding in financial markets, accumulate reserve for future turbulences, secure compliance with supervisory requirements and maintain positive signals for the market. There is still a debate in the literature on factors of commercial banks’ profitability forecasting, techniques, and most appropriate models to improve the correctness of predicting and acquiring more accurate signals for communication on targets. The problems are still relevant from both a theoretical perspective and practical implementation. This research aims to prove the necessity to include leading economic indicators for short term ROE forecasting. It conducts investigations for the relevant studies, using regression analysis, necessary tests, ascertains opportunities and limitations of using these indicators and develops a conceptual model and its assessment major Baltic banks. The results show verification of approach to forecast ROE using leading economic indicators for short periods. Such study complements signalling theory with a new approach, how to predict and acquire signal not only using economic indicators as a general group but sub-group them into coinciding, lagging and leading.

Liquidity is very important for the functioning of financial markets, especially for the banking sector, because one of the critical aspects in the banking business is precisely the process of transforming short-term funds and placing them in the medium and long term. This paper aims to comprehensively assess the liquidity positions of Portuguese and Spanish commercial banks through different liquidity ratios for the period from 2002 to 2015 and understand whether the liquidity management strategy differs by bank size. To this end, unconsolidated balance sheet data were used, which were obtained from the banks annual reports. The sample includes a significant part of the Portuguese and Spanish banking sector (not only by the number of banks, but also by the representation in banks total assets). The results obtained show that Spain's banks' liquidity indicator has decreased over the last four years. In contrast, bank liquidity indicator in Portugal varied slightly positively during the period 2002-2006 but decreased sharply between 2010 to 2015. Bank liquidity increased slightly during the period of the financial crisis in both countries, namely between from 2007 to 2009. Finally, it is concluded that smaller banks have less fluctuating liquidity management, i.e., large and medium-sized banks show greater variation in bank liquidity in the period under analysis, i.e., they are less liquid.

This study seeks to investigate the relationship between capital structure and commercial banks performance in Ghana. Using a panel data of listed commercial banks spanning from 2010-2015, the Ordinary Least Squares regression model is employed to estimate the functions relating to bank performance (measured by Return on Equity) with measures of capital structure. The findings show statistically significant relationship between commercial banks’ performance and all the capital structure measures (the ratios of short-term debt to total capital, long-term debt to total capital, and total debt to total capital). Whereas total debt and banks’ performance are positively correlated, short-term debt and long-term debt are inversely related to banks’ performance. In essence, using large proportion of debt significantly enhance commercial banks performance in Ghana.

In this study all the population used as an object of study and the type of data used in this research was quarterly data. Data were analyzed using cointegration test and Error Correction Model to demonstrate short and long term relationship. The results showed that in the short term, the Non Performing Loan and Return on Equity have a positive influence on equilibrium of capital buffers in goverment bank. Furthermore, the size of bank negatively affect the equilibrium of capital buffers in the short term. Besides the long-term relationship, the Non Performing Loan and Return on Equity also has a positive effect on the equilibrium of capital buffers in state-owned commercial banks. Meanwhile, Loan to Total Assets have a negative effect on the equilibrium of capital buffers in the long term.

Subject. This article discusses new possibilities for diagnosing the state of the country's financial and economic system and monitoring the true signs of crisis phenomena. Objectives. The article aims to develop effective methods of diagnosing and predicting financial crises in Russia using a special system of economic indicators and digital analytical tools. Methods. For the study, we used the signaling approach, non-parametric and mathematical statistics, and econometric modeling. Results. The article proposes a developed methodology for diagnosing crisis events, and tested on the basis of a sample of official data of the Federal State Statistics Service, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, and the exchange information of the world financial markets for 1998–2019. Conclusions. The study confirmed the prospects for using a signaling approach in combination with the binary choice model and econometric modeling methods to predict the onset of crisis events in the Russian economy. The proposed methodology for diagnosing financial market crises contributes to the development of scientific approaches to the analysis and forecasting of the price dynamics of financial markets and periods of their increased volatility. Its practical implementation provides information on emerging trends in financial and economic instability and assesses the likelihood of a financial crisis.

Несмотря на то, что базовые экономические модели показывают свою жизнеспособность, прогрессивные информационные технологии требуют все более тонких инструментов воздействия на процессы регулирования денежных потоков в банковском секторе. Одним из таких инструментов традиционно выступает управление ликвидностью коммерческого банка. Вместе с тем, процессы управления ликвидностью сопровождаются кризисными явлениями и внутрибанковскими слабыми звеньями в коммуникациях и технологиях.В искомом ключе авторы предлагают методический подход по синхронизации целевых ориентиров и релевантных показателей деятельности банка на основе метода парных корреляций. Проанализированы факторы, влияющие на ликвидность современного банка с точки зрения тактических преференций. Обосновано заключение по применению политики рационального управления ликвидностью, включающей осмотрительное целеполагание, финансовое планирование и рисковую сдержанность. The article presents a study of dependence of short-term bank`s liquidity on a number of economic indicators based on correlation and regression modeling. It is established that the dynamics of current liquidity of banks is significantly influenced by such parameters as non-performant loans, short-term liabilities and equity. The proposed approach can be used by commercial banks` analysts in the development of models for assessing the financial condition.

The paper analyzes monetary policy of the Bank of Russia from 2008 to 2014. It presents the dynamics of macroeconomic indicators testifying to inability of the Bank of Russia to transit to inflation targeting regime. It is shown that the presence of short-term interest rates in the top borders of the percentage corridor does not allow to consider the key rate as a basic tool of monetary policy. The article justifies that stability of domestic prices is impossible with-out exchange rate stability. It is proved that to decrease excessive volatility on national consumer and financial markets it is reasonable to apply a policy of managing financial account, actively using for this purpose direct and indirect control tools for the cross-border flows of the private and public capital.

FIIs are companies registered outside India. In the past four years there has been more than $41 trillion worth of FII funds invested in India. This has been one of the major reasons on the bull market witnessing unprecedented growth with the BSE Sensex rising 221% in absolute terms in this span. The present downfall of the market too is influenced as these FIIs are taking out some of their invested money. Though there is a lot of value in this market and fundamentally there is a lot of upside in it. For long-term value investors, there’s little because for worry but short term traders are adversely getting affected by the role of FIIs are playing at the present. Investors should not panic and should remain invested in sectors where underlying earnings growth has little to do with financial markets or global economy.
