The banking sector of Republika Srpska features a high level of legal and regulatory compliance, and can be defined as conservative banking with deposits as the main source of business and loans as their fundamental product. The availability of funds for lending under favourable conditions in the economy is the fundamental and most important function provided by the banking sector, even though its role is crucial in executing payment transactions as well as providing security in savings products. As per expectations, quantitative analysis shows a very high level of correlation between the changes in the volume of bank loans and the changes in the gross domestic product in Republika Srpska. On the one hand, the credit policy of banks represents an important basis for the development of enterprises and the economy, and for the business of banks, on the other. Banks obtain the highest revenues from the active interest rates, and through defining an adequate credit policy with respect to the conditions existing in the economic environment, they can make their operations more secure and profitable. By using the data from the survey questionnaire, we investigated the extent to which the credit policy of banks affects the financial stability and business operations of companies in Republika Srpska.

SMEs are the main drivers of economic development. As the debt crisis and coronavirus crisis show, despite their importance, they are extremely sensitive to economic downturns. Therefore, SMEs need to be supported through various tools. The paper is aimed at evaluating the SMEs’ bank and governmental support in the northern and southern EU countries in two crisis periods and assessing the financial state of SMEs on the eve of coronacrisis using micro-level data. It was proved that bank loans and credit lines remain the main sources of SMEs’ financing. After the debt crisis, banks are becoming more loyal to SMEs.It was proved that SMEs from the northern EU countries suffered less from the previous crisis and therefore started their recovery earlier than the southern ones in terms of profitability, liquidity and debt burden. In addition, it was shown that both groups on the eve of the new turbulence period were in better financial state compared to the previous debt crisis. The southern EU countries suffered more from both crises. At the same time, due to effective governmental support and bank loyalty, their SMEs entered the coronacrisis at the same level of financial stability as the northern ones. Since the new support measures are concentrated primarily in the banking sector through loan guarantee schemes and reduced interest rates, it is essential to provide debt financing to high-quality borrowers and avoid the debt crisis in southern counties.

The article summarizes the theoretical foundations and defines the role of banking innovations in the system of ensuring the competitiveness of banks. It has been found that in recent years there has been a trend in the banking sector, which indicates that the traditional business model of the bank, based on a regionally branched network of branches, is becoming increasingly inefficient, as rising costs are not supported by rising efficiency. It is noted that banks are sensitive to the process of economic instability, which manifests itself as a loss of financial stability, reduction and deterioration of customer base due to falling solvency, on the one hand, and loss of confidence - on the other, which collectively affects financial performance and competitiveness . It is outlined that in such circumstances banks face an important task of forming a strategy to increase competitiveness, which will ensure not only maintaining but also strengthening market positions through a clear understanding of the structure and dynamics of the financial services market in general and its banking segment in particular. The study emphasizes that innovation as a field of activity, and hence banking innovation in particular, is actively developing. The relevance of new implementations and ideas, especially those already used by foreign banking institutions, and still little known in our country, as opportunities to ensure a high level of bank competitiveness, has been studied. Accordingly, the study highlights the exceptional role of bank investment in the system of ensuring the competitiveness of the bank. Therefore, further research in this direction is important, because the introduction of banking innovations is a very dynamic process. In addition, not all innovative solutions become widespread, and successful banking innovative solutions in some countries may go unnoticed in others.

The article discusses different points of view and the essence of the economic category of «consumer credit». Analytical assessment of the current state and bank lending to individuals in Ukraine is carried out. Analysis of development of bank crediting of individuals has revealed that from 2005 to 2016 and for two months in 2017 consumer crediting in Ukraine has been developing unevenly. A comparative analysis of the dynamics of loans granted by banking institutions to residents, juridical and physical persons is carried out. The current state of bank crediting of individuals is characterized by a gradual decrease of volumes and a rapid reduction in the proportion in total bank lending. The main problems regarding the granting credits to individuals by banking institutions are revealed. High level of interest rates on loans to individuals, reduction of real incomes and risky credit policy of banks are the main obstacles of development of the bank consumer crediting. Recommendations for ensuring and increase of the efficiency of bank consumer crediting have been developed.

Recently, China has witnessed a continuously increasing Debt-to-GDP ratio and a vigorously expanding shadow banking sector. Housing prices hovering at a high level seriously affect the lives of ordinary residents. Disappointingly, a variety of activities such as intense deleveraging campaigns and tight monetary controls produce little effect. Why do these seemingly rightful implementations hardly work? What should governments do to stop the incessant expansion of asset bubbles? What role ought financial supervisors to play in regulating credit markets and facilitating a sustainable and inclusive economic growth? This paper sets off from the pledgeability of asset bubbles and constructs a generalized overlapping generation (OLG) model incorporating financial frictions and collateral constraints, in order to explore the bubble evolution under the alterations of market interest rates and credit conditions. The results show a unique bubble equilibrium, in which the steady-state bubble size expands when interest rate increases. Numerical results further reveal that the bubble-inflation effect of a higher interest rate is reinforced by a more stringent collateral constraint. Our research contributes to an explanation of the inefficacy of present policies and provides the following policy implications: The combination of an interest rate elevation and a strong loan restriction is in fact undesirable for suppressing asset bubbles. Not merely does it strike productivity and capital formation, but it also fosters investors to hold more risky assets to solve liquidity shortage under constrained borrowing capacity.

The article consistently grounds that a collision of the existing economic model with financial-economic, social-and-food and institutional challenges generated by the COVID-19 pandemic jeopardizes achieving the nationally prioritized Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, in particular, associated with the anti-crisis reaction to an imbalance of nature management, ecology, sustainability of formation of agricultural valued-added chains as well as enroots a lag of the national regulating financial-and-economic system behind the New Green Deal chosen on a planetary scale and on the European continent – the European Green Deal. To neutralize this crisis gene, the article grounds the need not only to develop respective concepts, strategies, programs, approaches to the economic stimulation and budgetary financing, but also determines crying reality – low activity of the banking sector as a financial donor in implementing respective measures for achieving national “green” goals, in restructuring the economy due to high volatility of current processes. This crystallized the subject of research – a role of the banking sector in the formation of the national ability to implement the European Green Deal through the lens of financial sustainability, security of its activities in exchange markets. As first methodological steps, symbiotics is offered, putting together traditional tools of scientific research with a non-orthodox combination of material and computational financial-and-economic experiments allowing to conduct targeted research – the state of the banking sector of the country and security of activities of one of the backbone banks – PrivatBank, in general, and in the exchange market, in particular. It was proved that the lack of synchronicity of the regulation of the European Green Deal, Ukraine’s Green Deal and a methodological basis of financial stability, in general, and macro-prudential policy, in particular, has generated information asymmetry in assessing the potential of the banking sector to provide normative regulations in the “greening” of sectors of the national economy. In this context, the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection of Ukraine presented, at the beginning of 2020, a draft Concept of “Green” Transition of Ukraine until 2050, which implementation will take place using financial instruments tested within the framework of “warm” loan programs carrying new opportunities for the PrivatBank’s participation in the “greening” of the national economy including that by crediting projects of complex thermo-modernization of both multi-apartment and individual houses. As a result of implementing the Green Deal, the economy of Ukraine will drastically change, new sectors, new industries will appear within the framework of the traditional rural economy and environmental economy while a link between the economic growth, on the one hand, and resource consumption, environmental contamination, greenhouse gas emissions, on the other hand, will be broken. In this context, in order to maintain own leading positions in the segment of the regulatory providing and financing of modernization of small and medium business in the direction of its “greening”, the PrivatBank needs to immediately actualize the provisions of its strategy until 2022, subject to new market segmentation, prioritization of recipients of loans, their channeling, first of all, for the needs of the “green” modern.

Introduction. Financial sector plays an important role in the financing of business entities in the real economy sector. A possibility of rising funds through the stock or banking sector enables substantially to expand the scope of enterprises. However, the presence of permanent financial crises does not allow companies to use these opportunities in full. Therefore, the assessment of state and trends of the stock and banking sectors in the context of the use of their funds to finance companies in the real sector of the economy becomes important. Purpose. The article aims to identify contemporary issues of development of the stock and banking sectors in the context of their ability to finance companies in the real economy. Method. In order to achieve the goal of the research we have used the following methods: method of structural and dynamic analysis and method of economic and statistical analysis of the development of the stock and banking sectors of Ukraine. Results. It has been determined that the deterioration of the stock market in Ukraine led to its exclusion from the list of marginal markets. The largest segment of the Ukrainian stock and banking sector services the issuers, which are owned by the state. At the same time, the financial sector has features of bank-centeredness since banks play a leading role in financing of companies and in transactions of the stock market. Ukrainian stock market mainly carries out operations with government bonds and only a small part of operations provides financing for the activities of companies through the issue of stocks and bonds. The share of long-term sources of funding is gradually decreasing and it is critically low for economic growth of the country. The tempos of providing long-term and short-term bank loans for the company are slowing down. A positive trend is the reduction of interest rates on loans. There is a need to develop effective measures for using opportunities of the stock and banking sectors as well for financing companies in the real sector of the economy.

The trends of bank crediting of businesses and households in Ukraine are determined and credit interrelations between subjects of economy by means of methods of system dynamics simulated. The article shows that by end 2020 the main trends in the Ukrainian banking sector are: 1) increasing the dynamics of return on capital, consistently high interest rates on loans until 2019 and their declining dynamics in 2020; 2) declining trends in the dynamics of the share of loans in the assets of commercial banks and the indicator of the financial depth of lending to the Ukrainian economy; 3) predominance of the share of loans to businesses in comparison with the share of loans to households in the loan banking portfolio; 4) faster growth rates of bank loans to households compared to the growth rates of lending to businesses; 5) in the sectoral context, the largest share in lending to business units is accounted for by trade and in lending to households – by consumer lending; 6) half of the loan portfolio of commercial banks are short-term loans for up to one year; 7) the share of non-performing loans in the loan portfolio remains high; 8) gradual reduction of non-deposit sources among the liabilities of commercial banks and their transition to almost full financing at the expense of customer deposits; 9) increase in the share of short-term and decrease in the share of long-term deposit financing of commercial banks. Based on the methods of system dynamics, the authors created a model that allows to trace the relationship between commercial banks-businesses-households, as well as to calculate the forecast volumes of bank loans in accordance with the demand for loans from businesses and households (weighted by the maximum value credit load) and supply of credit resources by commercial banks. From a practical point of view, determining the characteristic trends of bank lending, modeling the interaction of its main participants and determining the volume of bank loans using system dynamics helps to identify key factors influencing the supply and demand of bank credit resources at the present stage of Ukraine’s development and predict future lending dynamics.

Financial inclusion has allowed financial products with very high-interest rates and complex conditions to become increasingly affordable. Financial inclusion programs, which aim to reach all social strata, strongly expose financial institutions to risk and particularly credit risk. That said, additional interventions such as financial education of those included are needed. We aim to examine the impact of financial literacy and financial inclusion of households on bank performance. Specifically, we want to examine the impact of financial literacy on credit risk, competitiveness among banks and financial stability. The FGLS estimation results suggest that financial literacy and financial inclusion reduce credit risk and enhance the stability of banks, and regarding competitiveness, our results were inconclusive as they show different effects for each competitiveness indicator, although they point to improved competitiveness in some cases. This research allows policymakers to understand that individual financial attitudes can be reflected in the general welfare of financial institutions and encourages the intensification of programs aimed at improving household financial literacy.

This study attempts to determine the importance of the banking sector in the monetary transmission process in a developing economy. The study analyzes the Malaysian data focusing on three sample periods: the entire sample period (1989:01-2006:12); the pre-crisis period (1989:01-1996:12); and the post-crisis period (1999:01-2006:12). To achieve this objective, the study relies on two tests: first, the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for the long-run relationship among the variables and second, the impulse response functions and variance decomposition analysis for the short-run relationship among the variables. The finding shows that both bank deposits and loans play crucial roles in the monetary transmission process in the economy, suggesting evidence for the money endogeneity theory of post-Keynesian economists. In particular, bank deposits and loans are shown to provide an important link from monetary policy to output. This underscores the importance of ensuring the soundness of banking system as a pre-requisite to economic stability in the absence of such market based tools as market-based actions on exchange rate or interest rates as monetary stabilisation tools.

Based on the role of banking sector in the development of the country’s economy, we consider it important to study the current situation in this sector. The existence of a competitive environment ensures the efficient functioning of the banking sector. The aim of the study is to estimate the competitive environment in the banking sector, to determine the relationship between competition and interest rates. The research is based on the use of different economic models and indexes. Competition in the banking sector is studied on the example of Georgian banking sector, for that we used HHI Net Loans and H-statistic indicators. The study analyses the impact of competition in the banking sector on the net interest income and interest rate in the same sector.
