Neo-liberal globalization model and the welfare state: The question of equality

Author(s): Davorka Vidović / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Neo-liberalism as a political-economic doctrine and an ideology promotes globalization as world economic integration based on unfettered free trade. In a more extensive discourse, neo-liberalism is often equated with globalization. However, some of the eminent globalization theoreticians, for instance J. A. Scholte, U. Beck or M. Steger, point out that a neo-liberal standpoint on globalization is only one of the possible viewpoints, but also the most dominant and the most widespread when understanding globalization. Therefore, as Scholte points out, neo-liberal ideas of globalization gained widespread acceptance as commonsense .

Author(s): / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Effective management models are limited to defining objectives, volume and resources, taking into account the two most important indicators – time and risk.

The performance evaluation of a model is associated with determining the utility function of an option and selecting the most appropriate alternative.

Държавата КТБ

Author(s): Zornitsa Markova,Tatyana Puncheva- Vassileva,Nikolay Stoyanov,Rosen Bosev,Ilin Stanev,Ani Kodzhaivanova,Desislava Leshtarska / Language(s): Bulgarian

This book is the result of a two-year journalistic investigation that traces the history of Corporate Commercial Bank from its origin to its bankruptcy (1994-2014). The investigation was conducted on the basis of dozens of meetings with direct participants or witnesses of the events, representatives of state structures, political parties, business, regulators. In the process, hundreds of official and informal documents have been analyzed. Access to information by Bulgarian and international organizations has been requested many times. The collected facts, data, documents, and exclusive testimonies included in this book contain for the first time conclusive evidence of political corruption in Bulgaria. The aim of the KTBfiles project is to show the genesis of the "CCB model" (Corporate Commercial Bank model) and the technology of its expansion to magnitude, which pressed all key state institutions to the wall. The book explores the circumstances that made this vicious model possible, as well as the mechanisms for its eradication. This makes the investigation much more comprehensive, multi-layered and important than the chronology of bank bankruptcy, whether it is the largest in Bulgarian history. This qualitative journalistic investigation answers not only to the question #WHO but also to the questions how, why and especially what follows if we stop asking and live permanently with civil indifference and cynicism.

Оценка на системата за почтеност в банковия сектор в България

Author(s): Bulgaria Transparency International,Vanya Kashukeva-Nusheva,Daniela Mihalkova,Kalin Slavov,Boyan Ivantchev,Petyo Slavov,Ognyan Minchev / Language(s): Bulgarian

This study is provoked by one of the most significant cases of abuses over the last two decades in Bulgaria - the bankruptcy of CCB (Corporate Commercial Bank), the fourth largest bank in the country. After the 1996-1997 crisis, when one third of the banks went bankrupt, the country's banking sector collapsed. This is the second case in which huge financial resources "evaporated" and the negative consequences affected a wide range of public institutions and private subjects. The emergence of periodically recurring financial crises, with multiple impacts on public, economic and political life, motivates Transparency International Bulgaria to look for a systematic response to the problem and look beyond the specific case. The present book is based on the analytical approach of the international anti-corruption organization Transparency International "National Integrity System" which assesses clearly defined criteria, the capacity, functioning and management of sectors and institutions with key importance in counteracting corruption. The study is based on an analysis of the legislation and practical actions of the investigated institutions, a wide range of documentary sources, reports, assessments, media publications, and interviews with experts and public figures that have had direct observations and touch with the CCB case. It reflects an attempt to formulate an impartial, objective assessment of the functioning of the banking supervisory system in the 2009-2014 periods but also pursues another objective - to serve as a starting point for policies and strategic actions to give an adequate systemic response to established deficits. Viewed through this prism, this publication expresses the ambition of the Transparency International Bulgaria to not only prevent future crises of this nature, but also to contribute to the institutional strengthening of the system of supervisory institutions in Bulgaria.

Sedmý rok uprchlické krize v Jordánsku a Libanonu: Klesající humanitární rozpočty a ekonomická krize

Author(s): Jan Daniel / Language(s): Czech

V obou zemích trvá nutnost reakce na základní humanitární potřeby uprchlických komunit, které se potýkají s menším zájmem některých donorů a nižší průběžnou naplněností finančních zdrojů. Ambiciózní reakce na uprchlickou krizi kombinující humanitární a rozvojové přístupy zafungovala jen do určité míry. Jak Jordánsko, tak Libanon stále trpí zásadními ekonomickými problémy a vyšší kontrolované zapojení uprchlíků do pracovního trhu se nezdařilo. I přesto má kombinovaná forma reakce na krizi smysl i do budoucna. Byť v Libanonu existuje silný tlak na odchod uprchlíků, je pravděpodobné, že jak v Libanonu, tak v Jordánsku zůstanou velké uprchlické komunity vyžadující mezinárodní asistenci i v dohledné době.

Author(s): Dumitru Pîntea / Language(s): English

Everyone, at some point, needs a bank, whether for a loan, for a deposit, a salary account or a counter payment. Nonetheless, not all of us understand how a bank works and what is its role in the financial system. Mainly its basic functions confirm the crucial role of banks in a modern society, these being the institutions that mobilise the available money and finance private affairs or public expenditures. Besides this, technological development complements the role of banks with another important function, which is payment system and money transfer – operations that we all perform almost every day.

Everything about the financial system. Corruption Beyond the Public Sector

Author(s): Dumitru Pîntea / Language(s): English

With the aim of mobilizing available resources from depositors and orienting them towards investors, banks have a decisive role in supporting and developing the economic environment. In the absence of a developed capital market, Moldovan banks remain one of the most important source of funding the national economy, providing funds both for private companies' businesses and individuals’ projects. The importance of this sector for the economy is revealed by the volume of loans granted - over MDL 32 billion at the end of 2017 or 20% of the country's GDP. Moreover, banks are also an important source of funding for Government, providing permanently about MDL 7 billion to cover the domestic Government debt. On the other hand, being practically the only financial instrument for savings, domestic banks keep about MDL 60 billion as savings from households and companies, by 20% more than the resources accumulated into the national public budget during one year.

Everything about Informal Economy. Reducing Corruption by Developing Cashless Payments

Author(s): Eugen Ghiletchi / Language(s): English

Cash is the instrument due to which corruption exists. Cash anonymity, impossibility to identify its source, and non-traceability of cash transactions are the reasons why beneficiaries of corruption depend directly on the presence and circulation of cash. If there were no cash available, it would be much more difficult to get involved in corruption transactions, because of the possibility to reconstruct every transaction, including its beneficiaries, revealing thus their interests. Decreasing the high share of cash in financial flows can help eradicate corruption at least partially.

A venit oare timpul ca banca centrală să reducă ținta inflației?

Comentariul descrie succint principalele argumente în favoarea diminuării țintei inflaționiste a Băncii Naționale a Moldovei, în vederea alinierii acesteia la noile realități macroeconomice. Aceasta va permite eficientizarea politicii monetare în asigurarea și menținerea stabilității prețurilor, o convergență mai bună la normele UE în contextul procesului de integrare europeană a Republicii Moldovei, precum și la diminuarea poverii asupra bugetului de stat asociată cu deservirea datoriei de stat rezultată în urma „furtului miliardului”.

Prima Casă Plus: un program social, bancar, imobiliar sau electoral? Analiza oportunităților și riscurilor programului

Author(s): Stas Madan / Language(s): Romanian

Posibilitatea de achiziționare a unei locuințe în condiții fiabile și accesibile, în special pentru familiile tinere, reprezintă o preocupare de politici publice pentru multe state. Republica Moldova s-a lansat în atingerea acestui deziderat în anul 2018 odată cu lansarea programului de stat „Prima Casă”, având scopul de a facilita accesul familiilor tinere la locuințe prin garantarea creditelor ipotecare solicitate de la bănci. După o perioadă în care a reușit să influențeze semnificativ, atât piața creditelor ipotecare, cât și piața imobiliară în ansamblu, în ultimii doi ani programul „Prima Casă” a intrat într-o fază de stagnare. Situația dată s-a produs din cauza inflației înalte din perioada 2022-2023 care s-a soldat cu creșterea ratelor nominale a dobânzilor, dar și a evoluției în creștere a prețurilor la imobile. Odată cu revenirea inflației în limite rezonabile și ieftinirea costurilor de finanțare, autoritățile au venit cu un proiect de lege, denumit convențional „Prima Casă Plus”, ce își propune reanimarea programului. Prezenta Notă analitică își propune să analizeze ce a însemnat până acum programul „Prima Casă”, care sunt prevederile proiectului și să evidențieze principalele beneficii și riscuri care apar pentru părțile interesate.
