The study of credit risk has gained significant importance in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007 – 2008. Estimating the determinants of non-performing loans (NPLs), as an important indicator of credit risk in the banking sector, is essential for financial stability policies. The main goal of this research is to examine the determinants of NPLs in Central and Eastern European countries (CEE). This paper analyses macroeconomic, structural, and bank-specific determinants of NPLs for 17 CEE countries for the period 2006 – 2017 by utilizing panel data and the fixed effects model. Although the literature on NPLs is quite extensive, this is the first empirical research with such a large number of countries from the CEE region using country-level data. The baseline analysis suggests that the unemployment rate, inflation rate, credit growth, crisis, bank concentration, and regulatory quality have a significant impact on NPLs. Unexpectedly, the law enforcement of creditor rights, proxied by various indicators, is not a statistically significant determinant of NPLs. The result of the study contributes to the literature on banking regulation and supervision, especially in the context of the CEE region.

The objective of this paper is to estimate the efficiency change in the banking sectors of the group of Visegrad countries during the 2009 – 2013 period and to determine whether banks that belong to a financial conglomerate are more or less efficient than other banks in the sector. We used Data Envelopment Analysis and the Malmquist index to analyse the banking efficiency. The positive efficiency change during the 2009 – 2013 periods was primarily due to innovation, superior management and technological growth. There were differences in banks in the financial conglomerates across Visegrad group countries. Several banks from the financial conglomerate were less efficient than other banks in the banking industry.

The main goal of this study is to analyse whether the source of capital in foreign participation in the domestic banking markets of countries that joined the EU after 2004 influences the evolution of efficiency levels in domestic banks and, consequently, the efficiency levels within these markets. It assesses the level of activity of foreign commercial banks in the aftermath of the 2008 – 2012 financial crises and explores its relationship with banking sector efficiency. The study focuses on 13 countries, including Central European, South-Eastern European and Baltic states. Using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, the research aims to determine whether foreign banks have gained or lost influence in these markets and the foreign countries that have the best performing banks in these markets. Further-more, it provides insights into the potential influence of sources of foreign capital on the overall performance of domestic banking markets, indicating how competition could drive high-achieving foreign banks to outperform in their established markets.

Previous studies have shown that the banking sector of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries performed better than other developed European sectors during the crisis, due to their sound capitalization and a high profitability before the crisis. That is why we consider that it is interesting to see how they will perform in terms of the profitability and capitalization ratios during 2016 – 2017 in the light of the new international capital adequacy regulations. We have used Combinatorial forecasting method and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) forecasting method for the banking sectors of five Central and Eastern European countries, non-members of the Eurozone, in order to predict the further developments of capital adequacy ratio, return on assets (ROA) and net interest margin during 2016 – 2017. Our results show that the capital adequacy ratio will improve in all five analysed banking sectors. The bank net interest margin will increase in all five banking sectors (except in the Czech banking sector) and ROA will increase a lot in Hungary, but also in Bulgaria and Romania, while in Poland and in the Czech Republic it will slowly increase.

The main aim of submitted paper was to analyse liquidity risk in the banking sectors in Visegrad group countries (V4) using data at the macro level from 2006 to present. We used regression to analyse the impact of banking sector specific factors and macroeconomic variables to the Loan to Deposit ratio (LTD). The results showed that the LTD of Slovak banking sector was positively related to size and specialisation of banking sector. In case of Czech Republic factor with negative impact was interest rate of central bank; and factors with positive impact were specialisation of banking sector, 3M PRIBOR and gross domestic product in log form. LTD ratio of Poland was negatively related to 3M WIBOR, unemployment rate and gross domestic product in log form; and positively related to size and specialisation of banking sector and interest rate of central bank. In Hungarian banking sector LTD was negatively related to 3M BUBOR and positively related to size and specialisation of banking sector, capital adequacy, interest rate of central bank and long term interest rate.

Microfinance institutions finance their business activities primary with clients’ deposits, equity and subsidiary or with external funding. The aim of our thesis is to determine whether the external funding, macroeconomic development and the size of banking sector have some impact on a microfinance performance. Our findings reveal that the growth of external sources is positively associated with the number of female borrowers, interest rates or total expenditure. A significant negative effect can appear if the ratio of external funding to total assets is being uncontrollably increased over time.

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of the accession of Slovakia to the European Union and the Euro zone (Euro area) on the efficiency of Slovak banks. We use data envelopment analysis to estimate bank efficiency, and ordinary least squares and tobit regression to estimate influence of possible bank efficiency determinants. Our analysis shows that the bank efficiency increases both after the accession of Slovakia to the European Union and the Euro zone. We find that the adoption of the Euro has positive impact on bank efficiency in the longer run, although it can have short term negative impact. Our results suggest that efficiency of Slovak banks was not affected by macroeconomic conditions and banking reforms, which is in line with the argument that Slovak banking sector is in the advanced stage of development when influence of these factors is of less importance. We also find that large banks are more efficient than small banks, and foreign banks are more efficient than domestic banks.
