dc.description.abstract |
From the empirical evidence on the finance-growth-nexus in European transition
countries, we conclude that financial sector reform, especially of the banking sector, can
contribute to economic growth and speed up transition. Empirical research by Cottarelli,
Dell´Arriccia and Vladkova-Hollar (2005) and others has provided evidence that factors
originating in the banking system, rather than the corporate sector, were responsible for
growth differences in accession and transition economies. In extending the conventional
finance-growth framework and based on observations in New EU-Member States (NMS), we
suggest that strong foreign bank investment and related cross-border credit from parent
banks may have been a substitute for domestic bank growth and thus in supporting real sector
growth in South-Eastern Europe (SEE). Given the massive-scale involvement of foreign banks
in NMS and SEE, more research is necessary in this area.
In SEE countries, economic and bank transition started later than in NMS because of political
circumstances. As evident from the experience in NMS, financial development is not growthsupportive
when the institutional and legal framework given to market participants is not
appropriate. Unsound banking intermediation has a direct impact on economic growth as
such behaviour perpetuates economic stagnation and inefficient use of resources. Unsound
financial sectors in SEE also indirectly hamper economic growth, as they pose serious
obstacles to inflows of foreign direct investment which in turn would contribute to economic
growth. When financial institutions are subject to poor governance and incentive structures,
finance can hardly promote growth. Instead of supporting growth, granting bad loans back to
companies of their owners, for example, leads to resource misallocation, reduced private
sector confidence and results in lower investment and growth. Policies thus should continue
to focus on alleviating the bottlenecks to financial intermediation by guaranteeing stable
macroeconomic conditions and a sound institutional legal and supervisory environment. The
involvement of foreign banks is found to be a major factor for stabilizing the banking sector
and making it fit to support economic growth. |
