The current downturn in the American and West European economies combined with increasing regulatory pressure on private equity throughout the developed world have made emerging markets an attractive destination for private equity. As part of such a market, the private equity industry of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) was an accidental beneficiary of this, its attractiveness boosted also by the fact that the value added was resulting from the integral growth of companies rather than from leverage utilization. The crisis in the autumn of 2008 has turned growth financed by loans into a synonym for risk, so that the CEE countries as emerging markets have been placed at a disadvantage The current downturn in the American and West European economies combined with increasing regulatory pressure on private equity throughout the developed world have made emerging markets an attractive destination for private equity.

Individual investors are a vital part of the modern economy, financial market and securities market. Their capital participation is varied and undergoes periodic fluctuations. During market boom, the involvement of individual investors increases, whereas during crisis it dwindles. This is justified because most of the decisions made by individual investors are based on their own knowledge and previous experience, as well as on the imitation of other market participants. In Poland, bank deposits are still by far the most popular form of capital allocation, since they are regarded as a safe form of investment. In recent years, investors have started to place disposable capital in investment funds. However, in 2011, the value of the assets of these institutions accounted for approx. 24% of the funds deposited in banks, which is a low proportion compared to those observed in western countries. A major problem, reflected in the market, is the low engagement of households in locating in investment funds. According to the author, the main reason for this is lack of information and basic knowledge about the functioning of these capital market institutions in Poland.

Liberalization and deregulation in a globalized financial market narrowed the possibility of financial institutions' supervision. Risk assessment of particular investments was aggravated. Investment banks have a large impact on the stability of the financial system and their collapse could cause a crisis even in a stable economy. In addition, the speed of information transmission and the scale of linkages between entities facilitate the spread of crises. Currently, the world faces the greatest financial crisis since 30's of the twentieth century. It caused not only the collapse of financial markets, but also translated into a weakening world economic situation and may lead to recession in many countries. The outbreak of the crisis also exposed all the weaknesses of the financial sector. Recklessness and greed of financial institutions led to many errors in their management. Overriding objective was the desire to maximize profits, not attaching due attention to risk assessment. In order to restore liquidity and confidence in the market, the largest central banks around the world have decided to take emergency action, and the governments of many countries have developed programs designed to spur economic growth. The most controversial was the plan to rescue the U.S. financial sector developed by secretary Paulson. It assumed the allocation of 700 billion U.S. dollars of public funds to support private institutions, largely responsible for the outbreak of the current crisis.

The Hungarian state since the change of system has seen raising supply as the way to help innovative firms find venture capital. Hitherto it has used a method increasingly exceptional (and obsolete) internationally: having investment firms and venture-capital funds in its exclusive ownership invest capital in firms selected by the state apparatus. But such state-owned investors tended to prefer traditional undertakings and had little effect on the development of innovative technology firms. The negative experiences and high costs of government capital injections have largely convinced governments abroad that using professional, exclusively profit-oriented investors is far more efficient than for the state itself to try to act as an experienced investor in new firms. While retaining its old investment policy, the Hungarian state began experimenting in 2007 under the Jeremie Programme with co-financing venture capital funds to ensure the venture capital market selects small and medium-sized firms preferred by the state. If the programme succeeds, the state's indirect financing method may allow the market to operate more efficiently, by offering capital under market conditions while ensuring the programme is self-financing.

The analysis, which appeared in the October issue, makes several critical observations on monetary policy, the system of inflation targeting, and so of Hungarian monetary policy in the last few years. This has inspired several objections to the article's main theses. The author of this contribution argues, as a modeling economist working on analysis of macroeconomic data in the institution making such policy, that Tibor Erdos' statements are not supported by the facts or empirical analyses of the Hungarian economy. The author's first purpose is to present briefly and factually what monetary has and has not done in the last six years. That calls for a summary of the literature on modern monetary theory and inflating targeting. Nor can he avoid responding to the way Tibor Erdos, in criticizing the inflation targeting, tries to argue in practice against the mainstream of present-day monetary economics. It is not that inflation targeting is the sole salutary monetary system for small open economies like Hungary's. It is necessary to take issue with Tibor Erdos' argument on a theoretical plane, for he seems to have a problem with the conceptual grounds for an independent bank of issue, from which follows modern monetary theory. According to modern economic theory, price stability can be attained only by breaking the rigidity of inflationary expectations. That calls for independent, credible central-bank policy, especially in the presence of an expansive budget.
