Author(s): Fatih B. Gümüş,Levet Aydemir / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 1/2014

The aim of this paper is to analyse the effects of 2008financial crisis on financial tables of firms consolidating and comparing some of the company statements sectorally which are quoted on BIST before and after 2008 crisis.The distinctions was made by taking into account the connections between sectors withthe features and work–segments of firms. The non-continuous firms in the period of 2005-2012 with their extreme values which also affect financial ratios significantly, are excluded from the study. In this context, balance sheets of 59 firms from Food Industry, Metal Industry, sectors depending on Construction, Cement Sector which distinguish from Construction sector with its balance sheet size and financial structure, and Automotive & Supplier Industry are investigated. The data is interpreted by considering features of sector and conditions of our country. As results of analysis, almost all sectors are negatively affected in varying degrees and operating worsefinancial structure in post-crisis period than pre-crisis period. Especially increasing use of foreign sources and costs of financing with decreasing equity have negative effects on profitability

2013-2015 Yılları Katılım Ve Geleneksel Bankacılık Karşılaştırması: Türkiye Örneği

2013-2015 Yılları Katılım Ve Geleneksel Bankacılık Karşılaştırması: Türkiye Örneği

Author(s): Selçuk Bakan / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 36/2017

The fact that the interest, which is a must in the banking sector, is forbidden in the Islamic religion directs individuals to interest-free banking in Muslim societies. This case leads to an increased interest in the Islamic finance and Islamic banking in the world economy. In Turkey, the participation banking sector, which is the manifestation of interest-free banking, has demonstrated a rapid growth in recent years. This study provides information about Islamic finance, Islamic banking and participation banking, analyses some financial titles about the participation banking sector in Turkey between 2013 and 2015, compares and contrasts between general banking and participation banking, and analyses the state of participation banking sector. Findings show that while there was a decline in the participation banking sector in 2015 compared to 2013, there was a development in the traditional banking data in the same years. It is believed that the transfer of Bank Asya, one of the participation banks, from the Bank to the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and the subsequent process has an important effect in this decline. If necessary measures are taken for the participation banking sector and if the negative issues are not repeated, it can be said that this sector which is developing all over the world can continue its development in Turkey as well.

2018: Doing well, but no plan B

2018: Doing well, but no plan B

Author(s): Martin Vlachynský / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

The year 2018 started with a dip and ended with a dip. While the first encouraged investors to buy, the second sowed fear. With fiscal difficulties in France and Italy, Brexit plans going round in circles and a headstrong president in the US, recession became a popular topic of discussion in late 2018. Meanwhile, Slovakia’s economic policy suggested there was little to worry about in the future.

2019: Draghi’s Farewell

Author(s): Martin Vlachynský / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

The year 2018 started with a dip and ended with a dip. While the first dip encouraged investors to buy, the second sowed fear. With fiscal problems in France and Italy, Brexit plans going round in circles and a headstrong US president, recession became the popular talking point of late 2018. The 2019 response to this was a turnaround in monetary policy in Europe and the United States. Central banks acted to keep the veil of prosperity firmly in place. However, as 2019 continued, problems could be glimpsed behind the veil.

21. YÜZYIL ENERJİ SAVAŞLARINDA TÜRK CUMHURİYETLERİ’NİN YERİ ve ÖNEMİ

Author(s): Çağrı Kürşat Yüce / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 17/2013

Energy consumption and the need to continue on a global scale, as in the past and in recent years. Oil and natural gas will continue to be the primary energy source until 2030 despite all the alternatives to meet this need. As a result of this situation, energy resources will continue to be one of the most important determinants of the twenty-first century. In addition, at least a half century, dominance of oil in the field of energy will continue to. Energy experts frequently reported that the “cheap oil” era has ended and price volatility in the oil market will continue to today.The Caucasus and Turkestan (Central Asia) regions including the Turkish Republics maintained its importance throughout history due to various reasons. Today, however, due to the rich energy resources, especially oil and natural gas, they took part in the world’s agenda. In this study, the important actors of the energy wars and reserve status of the energy resources of the Turkish Republics in the Caucasus and Turkestan regions were briefly described. In addition, as well as importance of energy resources for the region and the world’s nations, beginning in the late twentieth century and growing competition over energy resources of the Caspian Sea were discussed today.

30 godina Konvencije UN o ugovorima o međunarodnoj prodaji robe

Author(s): Katarina Jovičić,Slobodan Vukadinović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2011

The article discusses the importance and scope of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna Convention) and its contribution to the unification of the Law of international sale of goods. Although it does not regulate all matters relating to international sale of goods, the Vienna Convention is undoubtedly the most frequently used source of law for contracts for the international sale of goods. Containing substantive rules to regulate this, the most common, legal operation in international business, the CISG, 30 years after being signed, confirms its successful implementation throughout the world. The paper analyses parts of the Vienna Convention, as chapters of this article, through the prism of the views of leading international scientists, which were presented at the International Conference held at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law in November 2010. The paper underlines current and outstanding issues regarding the application and interpretation of the CISG, and the solutions to these problems proposed by different authors. This article pays particular attention to issues of content and conclusion of the sales contracts, lack of conformity of delivered goods, and remedies for non-performance of the contract and the exclusion of contractual liability. In addition, the paper analyses the advantages and disadvantages of international conventions as a source of uniform rules governing contracts for the international sale of goods, as well as the relation of the Vienna Convention and other (especially newer) instruments of unification, which may be applied to regulate this most common legal operation in international business.

A benefit-based approach for increasing the effectiveness of promotions

A benefit-based approach for increasing the effectiveness of promotions

Author(s): Marusya Ivanova / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2012

The purpose of this paper is to reveal some insights for increasing the effectiveness of promotions. To achieve this purpose, first, the existence of multiple customer benefits of promotions is proved. It is empirically validated that promotions deliver three utilitarian (monetary savings, higher quality and shopping convenience) and two hedonic (variety and pleasure) benefits to the customers. Second, a structural equation model is estimated to measure the relative contribution of these benefits on the customers’ overall evaluation of promotions. The research suggests that in order to increase their effectiveness, promotions must be framed by focusing not only on their primary benefits but also on all other benefits with a significant contribution to customers’ attitudes towards promotions. Finally, a benefit-based segmentation is conducted. Four market clusters are identified (none-benefit, allbenefit, utilitarian-benefit and hedonic-benefit customer segments). Further, these clusters are profiled using demographic and psychographic variables.

A Case Study on Kurdistan's Electronic Banks: Key Challenges Facing Consumers

Author(s): Murad Muzafer Hamze,Kamaran Ibrahim Yousif / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

With advances in technology, financial institutions and their users needed to turn to the modern style of banking which is called e-banking. It provides numerous profits for both organizations and individual customers in terms of the comfort, ease, and cost of transactions. The main purpose of this study is to investigate and identify key challenges facing consumers to utilize e-banking services. To accomplish the purpose and problem of the study, the researchers conducted a quantitative approach via an online survey among 62 respondents in Kurdistan Region Government (KRG) and the sampling was chosen randomly. The descriptive research approach has been used and the methodology of the study depends on both primary and secondary data. SPSS software and Microsoft Excel have been used to evaluate the collected data. The main results indicated that privacy and security issues have the most significant challenge that affects consumers while using e-banking services, about 21%, whereas knowledge issues have the least effect on them, about 3.2%. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has hurt the e-banking system both in the Kurdistan Region and around the world since Chinese authorities first announced it in late 2019. If there was an effective online banking system in KRG, employees would have received their salaries without having any infections from others.

A CAUSALITY ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

A CAUSALITY ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

Author(s): Daniel Francois Meyer,Kazeem Abimbola Sanusi / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

In terms of macro-economic policy, gross fixed capital formation, which is the major component of domestic investment, is seen as an important process that could accelerate economic growth. This study re-examines the controversial issue of causality between domestic investment, employment and economic growth using South African data. The traditional assumption of causality running from investment to economic growth has remained inconclusive while empirical findings on the investment and employment growth nexus are also largely unsettled. The study makes use of quarterly data from 1995Q1 to 2016Q4 within the framework of the Johansen cointegration and Vector Error Correction Models (VECM). The empirical findings suggest that a long run relationship exists between domestic investment, employment and economic growth, with causality running from economic growth to investment and not vice versa. The results also demonstrate that investment has a positive long-run impact on employment. The empirical evidence further suggests bi-directional causality between employment and economic growth, while evidence of uni-directional causality, from investment to employment, is also found. The major implication of the study is that although there is bi-directional causality between economic growth and employment, economic growth does not translate to increased employment in the long run confirming “jobless growth”. Investment is found to be a positive driver of employment in the South African economy in the long-run. The study concludes that, in order to stimulate employment, investment enhancing policies, such as low interest rates and a favourable economic environment should be put in place to accelerate growth. Measures to promote economic growth, such as improved infrastructural facilities and diversification of the economy, should be further engineered so as to encourage increased investment.

A closer look at Dexia: The case of the misleading capital ratios

A closer look at Dexia: The case of the misleading capital ratios

Author(s): Willem Pieter DE GROEN / Language(s): English

When first published, the results of the stress tests performed by the European Banking Authority (EBA) gave little evidence of Dexia’s vulnerability. The test was based on the current criteria for Basel II capital (core Tier-1 ratio). Dexia was ranked 12th of the 90 tested banks, with a stressed core Tier-1 ratio of more than twice the benchmark of 5%. In turn, the equity ratio was only about 1.9%, representing one-sixth of the core Tier-1 ratio at year-end 2010. In other words, for every €53 in assets, the bank had only €1 in capital (see Table 1). Such a level of leverage is high, twice in fact the average of large EU banks.3 The leverage and difference with other large banks are largely explained by the calculation of the risk-weighted assets (RWA) and the definition of core Tier-1 capital, both of which painted an overly optimistic picture.

A Co-Integration Analysis of Interest Rate Spread and Corporate Bond Market Development in Selected African Economies

A Co-Integration Analysis of Interest Rate Spread and Corporate Bond Market Development in Selected African Economies

Author(s): Patrick Omoruyi EKE,Kehinde Adekunle Adetiloye,Esther Oluwafunmilayo Adegbite,Lawrence Uchenna OKOYE / Language(s): English / Issue: 52/2017

This paper examines the relationship between interest rate spread and corporate bond market development in thirteen African economies comprising of Botswana, Egypt Mauritius Nigeria, Tunisia, Cameroon, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Cote d’Ivorie, Ghana Namibia, Tanzania from 2004 and 2014 using fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) in an autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) framework. Subsisting literature suggests that in bank-based economies, interest rate spread could adversely affect the potency of corporate bond market development; and thus limits the financial market competitiveness. The result provides evidence that corporate bond issue, as a proxy for financial development is negatively influenced by interest rate gap in the short and long term. The result affirms the ‘group interest' theorem in these African economies leading to a deterrent in competitive financial development. The ECM coefficient satisfies a priori expectation, affirms the short run dynamic relationship, which implies long run equilibrium from the annual speed of adjustment, which is about 100 percent. The paper suggests policy recommendations for the reduction in interest rate, and thus the spread to encourage the growth of corporate bond issues for a market-led financial development.

A common currency for the East African community? Lessons from the introduction of the euro

Author(s): Hans H. Bass / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

The paper analyses the feasibility of a common currency for the East African Community (EAC), which comprises Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. The paper discusses theoretical insights on the benefits and costs of a common currency. It then uses the introduction of the common European currency, the euro, as a potential yardstick to assess the feasibility of a common currency in East Africa. The paper analyses the readiness of the EAC’s economies for a common currency as measured by relevant indicators. It concludes that some caveats are in order with regard to the feasibility of a common East African currency at the present point in time.

A Comparative Analysis of Dynamic Interactions between European and Indonesian Cocoa Markets during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the 2011 European Debt Crisis

A Comparative Analysis of Dynamic Interactions between European and Indonesian Cocoa Markets during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the 2011 European Debt Crisis

Author(s): Mukhlis Mukhlis,M. Shabri Abd Majid,Sofyan Syahnur,Musrizal Musrizal,Nova Nova / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2021

This study empirically explores the dynamic interactions between the European and Indonesian cocoa markets during the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) and the 2011 European debt crisis (EDC) using a battery of time series approaches of cointegration and multivariate Granger causality. The study documented a long-run equilibrium between the European and Indonesian cocoa markets, implying a reciprocal relationship. However, an inefficient adjustment transmission in the Indonesian cocoa prices was recorded throughout the study. The US currency constantly influenced Indonesian cocoa prices, while cocoa markets were independent of fluctuations in world oil prices. Overall, the study recorded a different level of the speed of adjustment of short-run imbalances to long-run equilibrium in the domestic cocoa market across economic crises.

A comparative analysis of performance and soundness indicators of the main Romanian banks

A comparative analysis of performance and soundness indicators of the main Romanian banks

Author(s): Alin-Marius Andrieş / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2009

The economic literature grants a great attention to bank performance analysis, expressed in terms of competition, concentration, efficiency, productivity and profitability. The main reason for this special attention is the central role of banks in financial intermediation. The efficiency and competition degree at the level of banks and other financial institution are difficult, if not even impossible to directly observe, because the information regarding the production prices (or of credit rates) are not available. In this paper we analyze the performance and soundness indicators of the main Romanian banks, compared with main banks in the Czech Republic and Hungary.

A comparative analysis of stock market volatility depending on investment time horizon

A comparative analysis of stock market volatility depending on investment time horizon

Author(s): Oleksii Zakharkin,Lyudmylа Zakharkina,Nataliia Antoniuk / Language(s): English / Issue: 9-10/2017

Introduction. It is of topical importance today to study the ratio between the returns and risk of the Ukrainian stock market depending on the duration of the investment period. The relevant analysis should be conducted with regard to the markets of European post-socialist countries that have common features of development. Purpose. The purpose of the research is to define the influence of time factors on the returns and risk of financial assets through the numbers of stock indices (Ukrainian PFTS index, Polish stock index WIG, Czech stock index PX), the analysis of volatility of Ukrainian and European stock markets and the identification of patterns of their development. Methods. To conduct the research, the authors use the analysis of dynamic series, statistical, structural analysis, comparative analysis and correlation-and-regression analysis. Results. In the article, a comparative analysis of the volatility of the Ukrainian and European stock markets was conducted based on statistical research of temporal changes of stock indices. Their common development trends and differences, which can be explained by the peculiarity and specificity of the Ukrainian stock market, are revealed. The results of the analysis show that, with the increasing investment time horizon, the spread between maximum and minimum income returns is reduced, and the minimal income return itself becomes extremely positive. As the research shows, the peculiarity of the Ukrainian stock market is its significantly higher income return, which, however, is accompanied by a much higher risk, especially during the seven to nine year investment period. Conclusion. The Ukrainian stock market involves high risks, which does not make it attractive for conservative investors. However, it is considered to be a very attractive investment destination for risky investors, especially for a medium-term period of 7-12 years, since they may expect returns several times higher than at Polish and Czech markets under investigation.

A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of corporate bankruptcy prediction models based on financial ratios: Evidence from Colombia

A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of corporate bankruptcy prediction models based on financial ratios: Evidence from Colombia

Author(s): Jackson Arroyave / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

Logit and discriminant analyses have been used for corporate bankruptcy prediction in several studies since the last century. In recent years there have been dozens of studies comparing the several models available, including the ones mentioned above and also probit, artificial neural networks, support vector machines, among others. For the first time for Colombia, this paper presents a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of several models predicting corporate bankruptcy. Such models have previously been mostly used in relation to European and North American markets, whereas here they are applied to the financial ratios of three firms located in Colombia. The main objective is to corroborate the validity of these models in terms of their ability to predict firm failure in the Latin American context, specifically for two bankrupt Colombian firms and one healthy one. The analysis is conducted using bankruptcy forecasting models widely proposed in the literature and used systematically in developed countries: the multiple discriminant analysis Z-Altman model, Korol’s two-function model and Prusak’s P2 model. In addition, the logit and decision tree models developed by T. Korol are tested.
