The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of competition in the Polish banking sector. The analysis of concentration ratios and competition measures showed that as a result of the consolidation process, the level of competition in the Polish banking sector decreased. Moreover, it was pointed out that despite the generally favorable situation, the regulatory requirements observed in recent years are a significant challenge for banks in order to maintain their competitive position on the market. In addition, it seems that the greatest challenge now is the inability to reconcile pressure on short-term profits along with long-term development strategies.

The paper aims to assess changes in the level of competition in Poland’s banking sector in 1997-2007. Competition between banks is one of the most important factors behind the stability of the financial sector through its influence on the profitability of banks, access to external funding, and the country’s economic development as a whole. In this paper, the Panzar and Rosse model was applied to assess the level of competition in the banking sector. The results of the analysis of the Polish banking sector show that between 1997 and 2007 commercial banks operated under monopolistic competition. The degree of competition in the Polish banking sector is close to that in euro-area banking sectors (which is reflected by the values of the Panzar and Rosse measures). This applies to both corporate and retail banking. The main driving factor behind competition in the Polish banking sector was the country’s entry into the European Union. The same channels, i.e. consolidation and financial deregulation, that were observed in the EU at the time of adopting the euro influenced competition between banks in the Polish banking sector at the time of EU entry. This was mainly due to foreign capital from the euro area.

Banks have undergone an extensive expansion process in their distribution network. Today, Italy is considered an over-branched country. In Poland on the other hand, we have seen the development of a banking network in a period of economic transformation. All operators have been forced to begin a process of rationalization in their distribution networks. Poland vs. Italy may be a good example of a comparison of the changes taking place in the area of the optimization of the distribution networks of the mature banking market in Italy with the constantly growing banking market in Poland. The aim of this work was to observe on-going processes and to analyse it. On the one hand, there was a focus on the evolutionary point of view causing changes in the optimization network.On the other hand, attention was paid to the identification of the determinants affecting the percentage of persons holding a bank account in Poland, Italy, and in 27 countries of the European Union.

In the next ten years, it is likely that Eastern Europe will move from being an “emerging destination” to a key destination for outsourced activity. Outsourcing in Eastern Europe is facing many difficulties and challenges. But still during the last 10 years it has been growing rapidly. Romania and Ukraine recorded the largest growth in 2009 (in the post-global financial recession period). Hungary, Poland, Belarus, Czech Republic and Bulgaria followed closely. Upcoming trends in the Eastern European outsourcing sphere are likely to be consolidation and an increase in specialized services.

The author probes the factors that influence the structure of service markets and describes the way in which they influence the operations of these markets. The paper presents selected factors of key importance to the structure of service markets. These include the nonmaterial nature and diversification of services, information asymmetry, natural and regulatory barriers to entry and the level of concentration. The last part of the article shows the influence of all these factors on the structure of selected service markets. The author argues that service markets have certain specific features that account for the existence of individual market models. Whether a specific segment of the service sector takes the form of an oligopoly, monopoly or perfect competition is determined by its specific features, including the differentiation of services, the nature of entry barriers, the existence of scale benefits and the level of concentration.

In the context of initiation of economic reforms in general and changes in policies and regulations of the banking sector in particular, the present paper attempts to examine the structure-conduct-performance relationships in Indian banking sector. It is observed that there have been changes in the market structure of Indian banking sector, conducts of the banks and their performance in the post-reform era, especially during the last decade, though the changes have not been significant in every aspect. Using a panel dataset of 59 banks operating in India during 1999-2000 to 2008-2009 and applying the two-stage least squares (2SLS) method of estimation, the paper finds that there exist strong inter-linkages amongst structure of the market, banks’ conduct and their financial performance. While market share of a bank depends directly on its market size, asset base, selling efforts, and past financial performance, its selling efforts vary directly with market share, asset base, and past financial performance. On the other hand, returns on assets of a bank vary directly with its market share, but inversely with its asset base and selling efforts. The regression results essentially suggest for multidirectional and dynamic SCP relationships in Indian banking sector. It is also found that the nature of ownership has significant influence on market share, selling efforts and financial performance of the banks. As compared to the nationalised banks, market share of the private banks (both domestic and foreign) is found to be lower. But private banks make greater selling efforts and have better financial performance vis-à-vis their public sector counterparts

The paper contains an analysis of changes which took place on the Polish insurance market during the last twenty years. First, some important facts concerning the development of this market between 1990 and 2009 are briefly described. Then, the results of research concerning development tendencies, threats and comparisons with other foreign markets are presented. The development ratios characterizing the insurance market in Poland in comparison with developed markets is analysed. The conducted analysis was mainly focused on the following areas: market structure measured with gross written premium and claims paid, number of insurers operating on the market, ownership and capital structure of the insurance companies and insurance distribution channels. Moreover, new trends concerning changes in demand for insurance products and the increasing need for financial insurance, private health insurance and liability insurance are considered. In the last part of the paper, conclusions and development opportunities as well as new challenges for the insurance sector in Poland are discussed.

W Rosji istnieje prawie pół tysiąca banków, ale czy oznacza to, że sektor bankowy jest w tym kraju konkurencyjny? Celem badania jest ustalenie stopnia konkurencji w sektorze bankowym w Rosji w kontekście podjętych reform zmierzających do wzmocnienia kapitałowego i ograniczenia liczebności banków. Analizę obejmującą lata 2010–2015 oparto na sprawozdaniach finansowych banków (bilansach oraz rachunkach zysków i strat) zaczerpniętych z BankScope. Zbadano wskaźniki koncentracji i obliczono niestrukturalne miary konkurencji oraz porównano konkurencję na rynku usług bankowych w Rosji z gospodarkami wschodzącymi o podobnej wielkości: Brazylią, Indiami i Chinami. Zastosowane niestrukturalne miary konkurencji (statystyka H, indeks Lernera czy wskaźnik Boone’a) pokazują, że konkurencję na rynku usług bankowych w Rosji można określić mianem monopolistycznej. Struktury rynku usług bankowych w pozostałych krajach również odpowiadają konkurencji monopolistycznej, przy czym są bardziej konkurencyjne niż w Rosji.
