However, the semantic differences occurring in the legal acts and literature do not mean that this group cannot be a subject of scientific research. The analysis of the financial depth of the Eurozone economy and cluster analysis based on indicators of the financial structure of individual countries of the euro area show an increasing financialization, the process in which institutional investors play an important role.
