The development of the banking sector and its macroeconomic environment in Southeast Europe = A bankrendszer és makrogazdasági környezetének fejlődése Délkelet-Európában.

Abstract

The dissertation analyses the commercial banking sector’s development in Southeast Europe (SEE) between the end of the Second World War and 2010, a year of the current global crisis. Due to the strong bidirectional links, the sector’s macroeconomic environment is included to the analyses. The topic is particularly important from various aspects. First of all, it can serve as a useful case study for other emerging regions. Second of all, SEE’s development remains in the focus of a number of international organisations and especially the EU. SEE’s development is also relevant for the large international banking groups, which own a number of subsidiaries in the region.
