Multidimensional analysis of the banking sector stability in the Eurozone countries. Effects in the context of risk

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the stability of the banking sector of the Eurozone countries in light of the turbulence in the contemporary global economy. This aim is achieved through the considering current changes and tendencies in the economy, the importance of stability, measures of stability, and empirical analysis of the main indicators of financial stability. The study ends with final conclusions as to the further analysis. The research hypothesis is based on the statement that the banking system of the Eurozone countries, regardless of high risk and turbulence in the global economy, remains stable. Research methodology is based on scholarly literature review, and the empirical analysis used the system of measures and selected indicators adopted by the International Monetary Fund within the scope of the stability analysis of the banking sector of the Eurozone. The originality of the study stems from the time this topic is addressed, due to the highly unfavourable and turbulent situation in the global economy. The added value is the identification of indicators and measures, which demonstrate the tendency for further deterioration (however, the analysis involves indicators that are still acceptable) under the current economic and geopolitical circumstances in the world.
