Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on market orientation in retail banking
2021
AbstractThis qualitative study examines the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the implementation of market orientation (MO) in the context of retail banking. The findings show that MO was significantly reflected in the behaviors of banks upon encountering the COVID-19 situation, with the banks increasing their MO in response to the crisis. This study finds subcategories based on the empirical data that explain the implementation of MO in more detail. Overall, the findings provide valuable conceptual and managerial insights into the modus operandi of banks during a crisis and offer new best practices for the banking industry.
The IMF Lending Activity – A Survey
2014
Abstract This paper presents the evolution of the IMF lending arrangements approved between 1953-2013. The study covers both non-concessional and concessional loans. The findings show that the volume of the IMF loans has fluctuated significantly and the value of the IMF lending has increased over a period of economic or financial crisis, as the debt crisis of the 1980s, the Tequila crisis in 1994-1995, the Southeast Asia crisis in 1997-1998, Russia in 1998, Brazil in 1998-1999 and Argentina in 1999-2002 or the global financial crisis since 2008.
Stock Market Integration and the Global Financial Crisis
2014
We study the dynamics of stock market integration and its consequences during the recent financial crisis for twenty-three developed and sixty emerging markets. We find that integration increased slightly for emerging markets but decreased for developed countries during the crisis. Moreover, we argue that the high degree of integration propagated the crisis across the global financial markets at the beginning of the crisis, but it had little effect during the crisis. We also find that integration is mostly affected by financial openness, the institutional environment, and global financial uncertainty but that these determinants vary slightly between emerging and developed markets.

Risk of Interest Rates at the Level of Commercial Banks in Romania
2017
AbstractThe banking system in Romania is a banking system under development, subject to fluctuations that exist on the market more than on more developed banking systems, fluctuations that can generate losses for banks if they are not properly managed. The losses that may be generated by these fluctuations, known as market risk, refer to the significant fluctuations in three indicators, namely the interest rate, the exchange rate and the asset price. In this article, I will analyse the interest rate risk from a conceptual point of view and the indicators that mitigate this risk. The analysis also contains a study of this risk among commercial banks in the system to highlight the level of ri…
A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis model to predict bank bailouts: a study of the Spanish financial system
2020
This paper examines the restructuring of the Spanish financial system. This study is justified by the massive economic and social impact of this process in Spain. Based on the annual accounts and the annual reports of Spanish credit institutions, a model was created to predict the possibility of bank failure or bailout. The variables were selected following a review of the literature. They included the legal form of the credit institution (savings bank versus bank), leverage, real estate investment, gross operating margin, staff costs and non-performing loans. Two variables that had not previously been used in studies of this type were also included in the model: risk-weighted assets and co…
Przejawy finansyzacji na rynku kredytów dla MSP
2016
Małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa (MSP) odgrywają od lat kluczową rolę w gospodarkach poszczególnych państw i regionów. Stanowią ponad 99% przedsiębiorstw niefinansowych. O ich doniosłym znaczeniu świadczy nie tylko dominująca pozycja pod względem liczby podmiotów, ale również udział w kreowaniu miejsc pracy czy dochodu narodowego. Kluczowym czynnikiem siły i sukcesu MSP jest dostęp do środków finansowych. Badania wskazują, że MSP napotykają większe trudności niż duże firmy w dostępie do źródeł finansowania. W finansowanie swojej działalności, zwłaszcza rozwojowej, MSP angażują mniej środków finansowych pochodzenia zewnętrznego, szczególnie bankowego. Problematykę tę uznać należy za istotną d…
