Banking and Financial Sector in South-eastern Europe
Financial and banking systems play a crucial role for the reconstruction of war-worn countries, for the completion of the transition process and for the economic development. Financial systems in transitino countries had to be build from the scratch, often without any consolidated experience in Western-styly financial activities. Notwithstanding considerable efforts on the legal and institutional fronts, financial systems usually remain fragile and too thin in order to fulfill their economic functions. Financial and banking sectors are usually the weakest component of the economic setting through which domestic and external shocks could be exacerbated and became pervasive. Aim of this paper is to summaries the reform efforts and the structural evolution of financial system, particularly of the banking secto in Europea south-east countries (Albania, Bosnia H., Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Yugoslavia plus Slovenia. Reforms and economic development in this area are at a very ...

Tarasenko, I., Saienko, V., Kirizleyeva, A., Vozniakovska, K., Harashchenko, L., & Bodnar, O. (2022). Comparative Characteristics of the Banking Sector in Eastern Europe. International Journal of Computer Science and Network Security, 22(1), 639-649. https://doi.org//10.22937/IJCSNS.2022.22.1.84 This article is devoted to the comparative characteristics of the banking sector in Eastern Europe. The paper's central purpose is to summarize data on the functioning and development of the banking sector in Eastern Europe, based on historical background and current state of the banking sector, finding typical features and differences between the banking sectors of Eastern Europe. Methods of statistical analysis and systematization are used in determining the field of research. Methods of economic analysis, particularly the main indicators of banking activity compared to macroeconomic indicators, are used to assess the efficiency of the banking sector. Comparative characteristics of the banking sector are performed using cluster analysis, k-means algorithm. According to the study results, it can be concluded that the countries of Eastern Europe have different backgrounds in the formation of the banking system, which affects the current state of banking. The study collects, sorts, compares, and summarizes data on the number of banking institutions in Eastern Europe, the size of their assets, lending, deposits, equity formation. These indicators are compared with the macroeconomic indicator of GDP, which determines the importance of the banking sector in the real economy. According to the cluster analysis results, it is divided into four groups of common features of the Eastern European country according to some banks' activity indicators. Banks of EU member states are formed mainly by foreign investment, while state funds finance banks of the CIS countries. As a result, banks with foreign investment have more influence on the economy. They support and develop it, while banks with public investment have significantly less effect on the economy, which does not allow it to grow faster.
Twenty Five Years of Russian Banking System
International Studies, 2014
The purpose of this article is to assess the Russian banking system for the period 1991–2015. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia introduced economic reforms to move from a centrally planned economy to a market economy, and banking reforms were part of it. During early years of transition, Russia suffered from negative growth rate: 1998 and 2008 crises. The entire Russian economy, including the banking system, got affected. Therefore, it is essential to know how the Russian banking system performed in these 25 years. The study found that the Russian banking system performance was not satisfactory until 1998–1999; from 2000 onwards, the system showed some signs of resilience. The Russian banking system is largely concentrated and dominated by state-owned banks with 58.4 per cent of share of the total banking assets and 57 per cent share of the total banking capital in comparison to foreign-owned and privately owned banks. Banks are largely concentrated in the regions...
Analysis of the transformation of the Russian banking system
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
The paper analyzes the development of the modern Russian banking system in the conditions of the trend of digital transformation. The aim of the work was to analyze the rehabilitation policy of the Central Bank in the field of banking sector regulation. The working hypothesis was that the reorganization of the financial system leads to an increase in monopolistic trends in the banking sector, while solving the key problems of the Russian banking system: a more objective reflection of problem assets in the balance of the banking system is achieved; the economic role of the "schematic" capital formation of the Russian banking system is declining, with the simultaneous growth of state ownership in the Russian banking system; a business model based on private business lending to its owners becomes inefficient. The paper conducts a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the development of the modern Russian banking system. A critical model of the activity of the Central Bank has been proposed, which allows a system analysis of the development of the Russian banking system at the transformation stage.The study clearly showed that monopolization of the banking sector leads to a decrease in the riskiness of the market strategy of individual banks, however, there is an increase in the probability of systemic shocks of the banking system as a whole.

The special issue is dedicated to the problems and prospects of the banking system, as well as the financial markets of Russia and other countries. We discuss these problems mainly for Russian banking system, as well as for Europe Union one, Nigerian banking system etc. Some of these problems are general for all banking systems: inflation, liquidity, capital adequacy, combating money laundering, stability of the banking system, introduction of innovative technologies in finance (Fintech), cryptocurrencies etc, while some others are very specific for particular country. For Russia, for example, there is a problem of financing of the real sector of the economy, sanctions, as well as of narrowing of commercial banks pool, which practically leads to dictate of deposit rate values by the Central Bank of Russia, etc.
Banking sector (under?) development in Central and Eastern Europe
2005
By introducing a new measure of the banking systems' size, the paper challenges the existing consensus on severe underdevelopment of the CEE banking sectors. We argue that the existing studies on the size of CEE banking systems exaggerate the real degree of underdevelopment because common measures of the size of the banking system produce downward biased results when applied to transition economies. We compare various measures of the size of the CEE banking sectors with those of several "old" European Union (EU) member countries which are used as benchmarks. The comparison indicates that indeed the banking sectors in the CEE countries lag behind the most developed financial systems in the EU, but are very close to the levels in the financially less developed EU countries.

This paper aims at highlighting the aspects concerning the impact suffered by the Central and Eastern European banking systems since the onset of the financial global crisis. The focus of the paper is on the position of the Romanian banking system in relation to the Central and Eastern European countries, mainly those countries which were former members of the Communist bloc, in terms of both the prudential and banking profitability indicators. Hence, a comparative case study has been conducted, at a macroeconomic level, regarding the evolution stage of the Romanian banking system in the context of the financial crisis, based on several representative banking systems in Central and Eastern Europe such as Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Russia. The conclusion from these studies is that in Romania, the banking system has made significant progress over the transition to a market economy, as the Romanian banks have been embracing banking strategies intended to improve performance.
