The aim of this paper is to verify the impact of the market structure on financial stability in the banking sectors in Central and Eastern European countries, with particular emphasis on the change in the concentration and the share of foreign capital in the period 1999 – 2015. Using the methodology of panel regression, GMM estimator, we examine the implications of banks’ concentration on bank stability of a group of countries from Central and Eastern Europe. Because many empirical studies have examined the role of market concentration, we complement our results with findings on the market concentration-bank fragility trade-off. Employing a concentration ratio (CR5 and HHI) we find that CEE banks are more fragile within a concentrated environment. Our results also reveal that the persistence of risk is affected by the level of bank concentration and this effect is exacerbated mainly during downturns. Finally, the results of this research did not lead to any definite conclusions as to the role of foreign capital participation and rather indicate the impact of bank size and concentration on bank stability.

Economic growth is frequently presented as the source and direct bridge to the overall welfare development. The GDP per capita is frequently referred in this connection as a measure of the economic and social development. However this argument is not sufficiently supported by data covering the welfare situation of the country. According the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) project, in 2010 there are around 17% of the EU citizens living under the at-risk-of poverty threshold. To address the missing links between economic growth and the broader social development dynamics, the income situation of the households in selected EU member countries over the last years is investigated using the EU-SILC data. The empirical results confirm that losers from economic growth and recession are unequally distributed towards female, young, elderly, unemployed, retired and less educated. Gains are pertaining to more educated persons implying a greater focus on opportunities to education and on labour market.

The catching up with the economic level was very fast in EU-5 in the current decade, however the real convergence slowed down in the recession period (except of Poland), especially in Slovenia and Czech Republic. GDP per capita is the highest in Slovenia and in the Czech Republic, while GDP per employed person in Slovenia and Slovakia. The position of EU-5 (except of Poland) measured by GNI or NNI is worse than that measured by GDP. The RGDI rates of growth show similar results as the GDP ones in 2001 – 2007 except of Slovakia, where they were by 0.5 p. p. lower. The relation of CPL to EU-27 approximated to the relation in GDP per capita. The wage level is still much lower. The aggregate ULC in relation to EU-27 reach from one half in Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to more than 60% in the Czech Republic and 90% in Slovenia.
