Finance, Banking and Insurance

The development of the financial market and the strengthening of the relevant economic processes (in particular, the intensification of competition) in some of its segments force financial institutions to seek new forms and ways of positioning their services. The aggressive nature of the banking sector development, the continuous improvement of financial services technologies and the universalization of financial and credit activity in general are the main factors in the emergence of modern forms and methods of conducting savings and investment business. Globalization, international integration and growing competition make banks and insurance companies continually increase, reformat, and update their services. An important place in the list of stimulating factors for the development of integration processes in the banking and insurance business is the desire of financial institutions to maintain (or even increase) the level of profitability of their activities.
