Nowadays there is a considerable amount of information in the literature about mergers and acquisitions of companies in various business fields which gives the world economy an incentive for mergers and acquisitions of financial institutions – banks, which, having large assets, control economic processes in individual countries. The article examines the current state of the market of mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector of Europe and Ukraine. The experience of merging banking structures is examined, the advantages and disadvantages of concluding agreements are identified, factors that may trigger merger or acquisition agreements are identified. The purpose of the article is to investigate the processes of mergers and acquisitions of banks in the Ukrainian and European financial markets. The current market conditions dictate strict rules not only for entry, but also for the functioning of banks in their segment. Globalization processes in today's world are one of the prerequisites for increasing the number of mergers and acquisitions concluded in the banking sector. The article examines the current state of the market of mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector of Europe and Ukraine. The experience of merging banking structures is examined, the advantages and disadvantages of concluding agreements are identified, factors that may trigger merger or acquisition agreements are identified. The merger or acquisition agreements concluded on the European banking market have been analyzed. By analyzing the concluded M&A agreements in the European banking market, we can say that the value of such agreements is gradually reduced over the period 2012-2017. The practice of merger and acquisition agreements in the banking sector of Ukraine is analyzed. Crises in the banking sector and the Ukrainian economy as a whole make it possible to say that investors are less interested in the domestic banking system, which indicates that it is impossible to increase the number of mergers and acquisitions of domestic banking institutions. It is worth noting that there are currently about 100 banks in Ukraine that are declared insolvent, and a significant amount of non-performing loans can be a serious deterrent to increasing M&A transactions.

The new wave of mergers and acquisitions after the global financial crisis intensified the interest of policy makers and academics in bank concentration and competition and the role of the state in competition policies and regulations (policies and laws that affect the market structure and degree of competition). It is important to not only make sure that banking sector is competitive, transparent and efficient, but also stable. The purpose of the study was to investigate and analyze the degree of concentration in Estonian banking market and its impact on competition and market structure of financial markets over the period of 2013-2017. Both the structural and the non-structural measurement approaches of concentration and competition, along with the desk research, a case study and interviews with the financial sector professionals and an independent expert was employed to address research purpose. The findings of the study indicate that, in the Post-Soviet and nowadays EU member country – Estonia, high concentration coexist with the high and moderate competition levels and relationship between concentration and stability seems to be positive, meaning that high concentration results high stability of this banking market. The monopolistically competitive Baltic banking market is based on the contestable market equilibrium as banking sector is prone to the existence of high segmentation and product differentiation. Large banks with high share of foreign capital operate as universal banks, providing various services to the different market segments at very competitive rates, while smaller banks concentrate on a specific range of services. The Scandinavian-connected banking system of EU member Baltic country is modern and efficient, with best-regulation and high level of transparency in the region.Estonian financial markets are bank dominated, characterized with monopolistic banking structure, with leading roles of a few universal profile banking institutions, dominating not only banking sector, but whole financial market.

This chapter compares the recapitalizations of the Japanese banking sector in the 1990s with those in the ongoing European debt crisis. The analysis points to four main policy implications. First, recapitalizing banks by insuring or purchasing troubled assets alone is not likely to solve the problem of banks’ weak capitalization, as this measure is not able to adjust the extent of the recapitalization to the banks’ specific needs. Second, the amount of the recapitalization should be based on actual capital shortages and not risk-weighted assets to avoid banks decreasing their loan supply. Third, banks should face restrictions regarding the amount of dividends they are allowed to pay out. Finally, banks must be induced to clean up their balance sheets and reduce the amount of bad (non-performing) loans to rebuild confidence in the European banking system.

The current processes of economic and information globalization are mainly related to the successively progressing integration of financial markets, the development of ICT and Internet technologies. The liberalization of capital flows, progressing since the 1970s, was determined by many economic and political factors, including the modification of the international monetary system. The main determinants of economic and information globalization include such processes as liberalization of capital flows, deregulation of international financial markets and progress in the field of ICT. These processes constituted favorable conditions for the reconstruction of the market financial system, including the banking sector in Poland in the 1990s. Since the beginning of the systemic and economic transformation that has been taking place in Poland since 1989, the banking system and capital market institutions have been rebuilt. It referred to the Warsaw Stock Exchange market institutions, taking into account the opening of the economy to foreign capital. Foreign financial corporations taking over domestic banking entities in Poland have introduced their modern transactional and teleinformation technologies and new standards for entering into financial transactions. These processes were the main determinants of economic and information globalization that has been made in Poland since the 1990s.

Euro-integration course of Ukraine has caused an intensive development of its banking sphere. The inconsistency between the possible legislative consolidation of criminal responsibility for socially dangerous acts in the banking sector and the objective needs of society in such protection becomes more and more obviousis in Ukraine. The processes of ‘clearing’ the banking system from financial institutions that are insolvent along with the positive results have led to an increase in the level of criminalization of the banking sector. Abuses aimed at taking possession of money from creditors and borrowers of banking institutions have become widespread. External threats to the stable functioning of the banking sector are combined with internal misconduct of unscrupulous bank managers, officials and persons related to the banks. Approaches to legislative regulation of suspicious banking transactions and to identify their real volumes must be improved. The measures aimed at reducing of the level of criminalization of the banking sphere by establishing criminal liability of managers and persons connected with the bank for unlawful acts in the banking sector must be taken. The certain issues of legal regulation of banking activity in Ukraine on criminal legal level are considered. The provisions of international law on these matters are  analyzed and the main ways to optimize Ukranian criminal legislation to ensure the safety of banking activity are suggested. It turns out that the need for criminal legal protection of banking is conditoned by an increase in the public danger of these acts at the present stage of the functioning of society. This need is also confirmed by the crisis in the financial and banking spheres of the state, the need to eliminate the gaps in the current legislation on banking safety and the changes that took place in the banking sector of Ukraine in the context of increased integration with the EU.

A debate on the scope of bank information disclosures seems to be essential, especially after the Global Financial Crisis. The adequate quantity of data provided to the public domain is a condition of transparency of the banking sector which should assure the optimization of market participants’ decisions. There is also a tendency to unify global accountancy standards, and they are expected to ensure the same scope of disclosed information for the global financial market. The aim of the study is to investigate if there are any differences with the number of risk disclosures among the banks using GAAP and IFRS accounting standards, and if more stable banking sectors tend to report a wider scope of data. Finding out the nature of the determinants of disclosures is an important aspect in terms of working out the procedures which will increase the transparency and stability of the financial markets.

This article discusses the latest methodological recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision developed in response to the effects of the global financial crisis and known as Basel III. The purpose of the study is to explore scientific approaches to justifying bank regulation as a key condition for overcoming the economic crisis and improving financial sustainability. The object of research is Basel III instruments that will be implemented in the bank regulatory policy of Ukraine. The systematic approach and systemic thinking used in the article allow one to substantiate the expediency of Ukrainian banking institutions’ governance based on the risk-oriented approach and to determine the strategy of bank supervision for the next 1-3 years. The study evaluates the results of stress testing of the largest banks in Ukraine. Thus, the results confirm that the banking sector in Ukraine is sufficiently capitalized in the absence of macroeconomic shocks, but in case of a crisis, some of these banks are not protected. Therefore, the article formulates recommendations for improving the regulation of these banks, the phased implementation of Basel III, the application of new principles, standards, tools and methods, corporate governance and risk management in Ukrainian banks.
