- Abstract
Scientific literature highlights that the soundness of banks benefits from the quality of institutional environment. Although, there is no univocal opinion concerning the key factors of institutional environment that are crucial for the soundness of banks. Additionally, the previous studies mostly focus on separate factors and concrete case studies. The authors address the issue on factors of institutional environment encouraging the soundness of banks by trying to get the whole picture from the separately studied factors and conduct the analysis at the global level by differentiating countries depending on their level of the soundness of banks. As a result of scientific literature review, the authors offer six factors of institutional environment and select appropriate indicators from the Global Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum for empirical analysis. The authorsí offered factors are as follow: external economic conjuncture, internal political conjuncture, technological conjuncture, socially humanitarian conjuncture, economic and legal positions of debtors and creditors, quality of analysis and monitoring of banks. Testing the linkage between factors of institutional environment and the soundness of banks in the countriesí groups with different level of soundness of banks, the authors conclude that there are both common and distinct features of institutional environment depending on factors and the level of soundness of banks. The common features of institutional environment relate to quality of analysis and monitoring of banks as well as economic and legal positions of debtors and creditors. The distinct features of institutional environment appear in the countriesí group with high level of soundness of banks and relate to technological conjuncture and socially humanitarian conjuncture.
