Findings & Value added: The interdependence of economies and interconnectedness of markets on transport routes associated with reduced mobility, forced isolation of people and death of economic activity had a significant impact on all the observed indicators, where a significant decline in GDP could be observed in all countries except China.

The article is devoted to the practical analysis of credit and investment activity in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. A vision of the factors influencing the COVID- 19 pandemic on the global economy has been formed. The dynamics of issued loans is analyzed and the scale of lending activity is calculated. It is noted that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on lending occurs in the presence of the following risks: declining incomes of potential borrowers limit their ability to service loans, and there is uncertainty about the recovery of income of citizens and businesses in the near future; deteriorating creditworthiness of borrowers and increasing credit risk lead to higher interest rates on loans, which limits the demand for them; banks are tightening lending standards, including lowering limits on credit products; restriction of borrowers' mobility, which has become an obstacle to obtaining a loan and is absolutely critical for those of them who do not use remote banking; lack of capital in banks to increase lending. Areas of participation of banks in the investment process are highlighted: mobilization of funds by banks for investment purposes; providing loans of investment nature; investing in securities (both at the expense of the bank and on behalf of the client). The comparison of credit and investment activity is carried out. It is proved that the period of the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly affect the credit and investment activities of the banking system of Ukraine. It is determined that the economic consequences of the pandemic and the slowdown in economic growth may further affect the banking sector of Ukraine, and this will require unprecedented action at both the individual and national levels. Further research involves identifying different scenarios.

Abstract - Culture is the outcome of human thinking and as such it is closely related to society. One prominent form of culture that is very well known in Indonesia is megalithic culture based on the use of large stones or slabs. The impact this megalithic culture has made on Indonesia is profound, for it already reared its head long before the Hindu-Buddhist culture entered Indonesia, so it has affected this archipelago up to now. In this research study, objects have been employed that had previously been passed over in the process of purposive sampling, that is to say temples that featured a terrace or steps in parts of their complex were sought after. This research project aims to look for the typical characteristics of this megalithic culture in the temple architecture found on Java, and their connection with each of the Hindu-Buddhist eras. The outcome of the analysis indicates that the particular features of the megalithic culture are reflected in the arrangement or lay-out of the mass displaying tiers on teraces or steps, both on site and in the individual constructions, in addition to its orientation facing the mountain or the location of the temple being situated atop a mountain. Height is an indicator of the typical hierarchy found in this megalithic culture, in other words: the higher, the holier. The aesthetic ornaments or elements encountered in megalithic culture are not particularly well-developed, even though it must be admitted that in the final period there are statues and etched stones, albeit none too orderly or detailed. Keywords: Megalithic, temple, mass, hierarchy, aesthetic element

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.
