This article discusses the importance of the financial system stability and em¬phasises the risks in the contemporary environment of enterprises. Financial systems, with their opportunities and threats, have a tremendous impact on economic growth. Therefore, enterprises have to measure the risks coming from their external environment. The aim of this paper is to analyse historical data related to financial risks and to propose a new tool based on well-known solutions. The literature review and historical data analysis are the main methods used in this paper. The global financial stability map can be implemented as one of many tools of assessing risk, with some modifications.

Abstract. Introduction. The issue of financial risk management of commercial banks is quite relevant today, because the activity of banks is the most risky of all. The presence of risks in banking can lead to unexpected losses, namely the loss of own resources. That’s why for the stable operation of the bank without loss the priority is to assess the financial risks, which is the basis for their further neutralization. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to develop conceptual provisions for assessment financial risks and justifying the need to neutralize them. Results. The article analyzes the impact of risks on the financial stability of a banking institution. The main methods of bank risk assessment are considered. All these include the statistical method, the analytical method, the expert method, the analogue method and the combined method. The necessity of neutralization of financial risks in order to avoid negative consequences is substantiated. Also the methods of bank risks neutralization are considered. It should be noted that these methods of neutralization can not only be used, but also supplement the list with new methods must be done, which in the future will protect the bank from the influence of undesirable factors. A conceptual approach to the assessment and neutralization of financial risks is proposed. This conceptual approach aims to ensure effective assessment of the level of risk with their subsequent neutralization Conclusions. Use of a conceptual approach will allow an effective risk assessment and decision-making to avoid or accept risk. Thanks to using this approach, the banking institution will be able to react swiftly to the presence of financial risks and to prevent the occurrence of negative consequences, which may lead to a violation of the financial stability of the bank.

AbstractFighting climate change is one of the biggest challenges in the 21st century. Climate change that leads to global warming has been increasingly visible in our environment. Extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts have been escalating and their acceleration can be expected in the future. They cause changes in sea levels, epidemics, large fires, etc. Increasingly, we are witnessing minor or major damage caused by these extreme weather conditions. Numerous studies have proven that climate change has negative impact on economic growth and prosperity. However, this paper starts from the premise that in addition to unequivocally identified threats, climate change also creates opportunities.The paper reaches a conclusion that climate change can adversely affect balance sheets of financial institutions. Therefore, climate change is a source of financial risk and thus a part of the mandate of central banks and supervisors in preserving financial stability. This type of risk has not been given enough attention by either supervisors or financial institutions over the past period. This paper develops a model for managing financial risks as a result of climate change.

Motivated by growing concerns about the risks and instability of China's financial system, this article reviews several commonly perceived financial risks and discusses their roots in China's politico-economic institutions. We emphasize the need to evaluate these risks within China's unique economic and financial systems, in which the state and nonstate sectors coexist and the financial system serves as a key tool of the government to fund its economic policies. Overall, we argue that ( a) a financial crisis is unlikely to happen in the near future and ( b) the ultimate risk lies with China's economic growth, as a vicious circle of distortions in the financial system lowers the efficiency of capital allocation and economic growth and will eventually exacerbate financial risks in the long run.

Abstract This study primarily seeks to evaluate the influence of financial system stability on economic growth in Nigeria from 1986 to 2016. Employing the use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), this study constructs a Financial System Stability Index (FSSI) as measurement for financial stability. The indicators used in building the index capture three sectors of the Nigerian Financial System (NFS). The three sectors cover the banking sector, the capital market, the external sector and include a fourth component representing financial depth. The resulting index serves as a single qualitative measure for evaluating the level of stability in a nation’s financial system and proves capable of warning of an eminent financial crisis. Employing the use of four macroeconomic indicators, the index is then regressed against the Nigerian economic growth rate with an aim of discovering the short-run and long-run dynamics existing between both variables. The granger causality test, Johansson Co-integration test and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) are the estimation techniques employed in achieving the objectives of this research. The granger causality test revealed a uni-directional causality between financial stability and economic growth in Nigeria. The Johansson Co-integration test showed that long-run co-integration relationship exists between financial stability and economic growth. Finally, the VECM results find that financial stability displays a negative relationship with economic growth and bears no significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. The findings disclose that financial stability in Nigeria may be high and has resulted in the underutilization of financial assets thus hampering sustainable economic growth in Nigeria. In conclusion, the outcome of the findings shows that while financial stability may be necessary for initiating economic growth, it is not sufficient for sustaining economic growth in Nigeria. This research work recommends that the FSSI be employed as an additional tool for measuring the condition/state of financial stability in Nigeria and in predicting the onset of a potential financial crisis. The study further recommends that financial authorities must give attention to other aspects of financial development to facilitate sustainable economic growth in Nigeria.

The essence of financial risks of an industrial enterprise is revealed and its constituent elements are presented. The main existing approaches to the quantitative assessment of financial risks are presented, which are mainly based on probabilistic assessment. A methodical approach to financial risk management of industrial enterprises is proposed, which provides for constant monitoring of deviations of the integrated indicator, calculated on the basis of financial statements of the enterprise and includes indicators of liquidity, financial stability, profitability, cash flow from financial activities. At the same time, the company is recommended to set clear boundaries of possible deviations of the integrated financial indicator. Emphasis is also placed on the need to form and implement an integrated financial risk management system at industrial enterprises of Ukraine in the modern economic realities of Ukraine. A clear system of financial risk management will allow industrial enterprises to respond in a timely manner to potential threats, neutralize financial risks and avoid possible losses.

The necessity and significance of financial risks, which are a constant factor in the activity of any enterprise, are substantiated. It is established that for a broader understanding of the essence of financial risk it is necessary to consider it as a cumulative risk of the enterprise. The growing impact of financial risks on the results of financial and economic activities is associated with the uncertain economic situation, the instability of financial market conditions, the rapid introduction of new financial technologies and financial instruments, expanding the scope of financial relations of the enterprise. A system of financial ratios has been formed to quantify the risk of enterprises of different sizes, namely for large, medium and small enterprises, which most accurately reflect the current financial situation. Has been proven that the growing pressure of the crisis and insecurity on the part of the state will lead to the transition from the crisis in which enterprises are today, to a state of economic bankruptcy. It is established that the first place among the blocks of financial coefficients of risk assessment of enterprises is occupied by the block of business activity, then the block of profitability indicators, the block of liquidity indicators, the final block of capital structure. For each of the defined blocks the directions of increase, or optimization that will provide financial stability of the enterprise are presented.

The article presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of the content of the definition of “financial risk”. The existing scientific approaches to understanding the economic nature of the concept under study have been generalized on the basis of morphological analysis. It has been noted that the first approach treats financial risk in the context of the financial results of the enterprise, in particular as a risk, the possibility of financial losses due to negative events; the second approach defines financial risk as a cost estimation of the probability of an event leading to financial losses of the enterprise; the third approach defines financial risk as a complex of cause and effect relationships, that is, a set of types of financial risks that affect not only the financial activity but also the production and commercial activity of the entity. It have been presented an author’s interpretation of financial risk as a certain probability of avoiding financial results in the form of loss of profit, income, assets or capital in the conditions of objective unpredictability of financial and economic activity. It has been noted that financial risk as an economic category is characterized by a number of basic and specific properties that are manifested in the interaction of such elements of financial risk as uncertainty, losses, consequences and opportunities. The types of financial risk have been classified into two groups: external financial risks (inflation, deposit, tax, interest, currency); internal financial risks (risks of business processes: risk of insolvency, risk of reduction of financial stability, profitability, turnover, liquidity; investment risk: portfolio, interest, credit, dividend; other financial risks: risk of missed profit, structural, new. Basic methods and tools used to manage and implement financial risk mitigation policies in the operations of enterprises have been summarized.

Financial risk assessment is an integral part of the company’s financial analysis. The ability to effectively influence risks makes it possible for an enterprise to function successfully, have financial stability, high competitiveness and stable profitability. The level of financial risk is the main indicator of assessing the level of financial security of an enterprise, which characterizes the degree of protection of its financial activities from external and internal threats. Timely identification and response to negative factors is necessary to maintain effective operation and stable profit of any enterprise. The method recommended by the authors for use includes an analysis of two components: business risks-risks associated with the conditions of functioning of the enterprise in the market environment, and directly financial risks. This method takes into account the assessment as the degree of influence, the weight of each factor, as well as possible adjustments to the assessment indicators. In the process of writing this research, financial risks were calculated for the enterprise in the sphere of circulation, and the riskiness of its activities was assessed on the basis of the proposed methodology.

The study is dedicated to identification of problematic aspects of financial risk assessment methodology on the example of stevedoring companies. In research established the list of issues for improvement the methodology of financial risk assessment both in theoretical and practical aspects. Formulated industry features of the stevedoring companies’ activity, relevant factors from the perspective of financial risk impact on results of activity, among which are distinguished: loss of net sales, exchange rate instability and decrease of financial stability. It was found that the loss of net income from the sale of state stevedoring companies of Ukraine occurred: due to the failure to fulfill the plan of cargo processing by reducing the number of the number of ship-measures and change of the nomenclature of cargo towards the less profitable and instability of the US dollar. Particular attention is paid to assessing the level of financial stability of state-owned stevedoring companies in Ukraine and identifies a downward trend in recent years. It is argued that the definition of factors that affect financial risks should be conducted using factor analysis, mathematical models that require comprehensive consideration of uncertainty factors and related to the peculiarities of stevedoring companies operation. The feasibility of drawing up a financial risk map and the options of management's response to their presence have been proved.
