The Case of the Balkan Countries1 Jovan ZAFIROSKI, Phd Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopie Abstract: The lack of tradition and financial culture for using of the financial markets as a medium for financing of business which is coming as a heritage from the past where the financial markets were non-existent is the main reason why the financial markets in the Balkan countries even in the post transition period are still undeveloped facing massive liquidity problems. Also, the difficulties are caused from the fact that each financial market in all the countries in the region is small not only in comparison with the world’s main financial centres but also with average financial markets in the EU capitals. Taking into consideration the common problems and similar market preferences the best possible solution for the fragmented markets in the region would be an integration on the markets which will provide more opportunities for investors and in some way will help in solving the liquidity problem. In this respect, the three stock exchanges in the region, Bulgarian, Macedonian and Croatian stock exchange have decided to take a step in connecting of the financial markets in the countries by establishment of a company SEE Link with one main goal to increase turnover of the participating exchanges and potentially increase of their economic value. The aim of the SEE Link is to create regional infrastructure for trading of securities listed on the Macedonian, Bulgarian and Croatian market. Thus, the integration of the financial markets in the region will be achieved with lowest possible costs i.e. without merger or corporate integration but with using technology. This integration approach provides that the stock exchanges remain independent while providing investors with market access in all of the participating Stock exchanges. Four stock exchanges, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Banja Luka and Athens stock exchanges have also applied for membership in the SEE Link. This paper is going to present the current model of connecting the financial markets in the Balkan countries and will offer an analyses of the future prospects of the integration process. 1 The paper is based on the author’s presentation at the 2nd Annual Monetary and Economic Scientific Conference: Economic Lessons, Perspectives and Challenges from the Balkans, organised by Monetary Research Center, Sofia 13-14 October 2016. The last update on the data used in this paper is the conference day. 6 Introduction The financial market is in the core of the economic system. Due to different integration processes, regional and global, it is impossible to isolate the national financial markets from the global trends. Everything is interdependent while each move on one market has effects on the others. Usually, the financial markets have good information and what happens there shows what will follow in the real economy2. Well-developed financial market is conditio sine que non for well-functioning and good performance of the economy. However, it is still unclear whether advanced real sector creates sound financial system or is vice versa. The lack of tradition and absence of financial culture for using of the financial markets as a medium for financing of business, coming as a heritage from the past where the financial markets were either non-existent or undeveloped, is the

  • The Austrian School in Bulgaria: a History✩ Nikolay Nenovsky A,*, Pencho Penchev B
    Russian Journal of Economics 4 (2018) 44–64 DOI 10.3897/j.ruje.4.26005 Publication date: 23 April 2018 www.rujec.org The Austrian school in Bulgaria: A history✩ Nikolay Nenovsky a,*, Pencho Penchev b a University of Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France b University of National and World Economy, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract The main goal of this study is to highlight the acceptance, dissemination, interpretation, criticism and make some attempts at contributing to Austrian economics made in Bulgaria during the last 120 years. We consider some of the main characteristics of the Austrian school, such as subjectivism and marginalism, as basic components of the economic thought in Bulgaria and as incentives for the development of some original theoreti- cal contributions. Even during the first few years of Communist regime (1944–1989), with its Marxist monopoly over intellectual life, the Austrian school had some impact on the economic thought in the country. Subsequent to the collapse of Communism, there was a sort of a Renaissance and rediscovery of this school. Another contribution of our study is that it illustrates the adaptability and spontaneous evolution of ideas in a different and sometimes hostile environment. Keywords: history of economic thought, dissemination of economic ideas, Austrian school, Bulgaria. JEL classification: B00, B13, B30, B41. 1. Introduction The emergence and development of specialized economic thought amongst the Bulgarian intellectuals was a process that occurred significantly slowly in comparison to Western and Central Europe. It also had its specific fea- tures. The first of these was that almost until the outset of the 20th century, the economic theories and different concepts related to them were not well known.

  • Dual Inflation Under the Currency Board: the Challenges of Bulgarian EU Accession
    THE WILLIAM DAVIDSON INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN BUSINESS SCHOOL Dual Inflation Under the Currency Board: The Challenges of Bulgarian EU Accession By: Nikolay Nenovsky and Kalina Dimitrova William Davidson Working Paper Number 487 July 2002 Dual Inflation under the Currency Board The challenges of Bulgarian EU accession Nikolay Nenovsky * Kalina Dimitrova Abstract: The importance of analysing inflation sources and dynamics in Bulgaria is imposed by (i) the long run process of price and inflation convergence to the Euro area and (ii) by the Currency Board operating in the country. In this study we make an attempt to estimate Balassa - Samuelson (BS) effect in Bulgaria (after the introduction of the Currency Board). The BS explanation of inflation (or dual inflation) has acquired both academic recognition and popularity in practice in the recent years. The results of our empirical estimation do not provide a robust verification of the existence of BS effect in spite of the observed prerequisites and the accompanying economic indicators interrelations. Actually there are several factors that interfere with the BS effect lying in the wage convergence process in both sectors and others that influence productivity developments in the sectors. This prompts that the price movement in the country has other driving motions – above all wage setting and incomplete price liberalization, other factors productivity, imported inflation (pass trough) and inflation generated by the temporary gaps between money demand and money supply.

  • Exchange Rate and Inflation
    BULGARIAN NATIONAL BANK NIKOLAY NENOVSKY Exchange Rates and Inflation: France and Bulgaria in the Interwar Period and the Contribution of Albert Aftalion (1874—1956) October 2006 SUMMARY. It is little known that the great French interwar economist Albert Aftalion (1874—1956) was born in Ruschuk (today Ruse) in Bulgaria. His “psychological theory of money and exchange rates” has a symbolic sig- nificance in today’s Bulgaria which in 1997 chose stabilization based on a currency board. In many ways this is similar to stabilization devices adopted elsewhere after the War. At the time, Aftalion was exceptionally popular in Bulgaria, perhaps owing to the fact that numerous Bulgarian economists had studied or obtained postgraduate degrees in France. (Indeed, Aftalion himself may have lectured to many of them at the Sorbonne.) Some of these economists attempted to copy their tutor’s methodology and analyses directly, thus testing his ideas on Bulgarian economic reality. One of them was Josif Petkof (Petkof, 1926), who in 1927 even copied the title of Aftalion’s book, merely transposing the order of words (Prices, Circu- lation, and Exchange Rate). This study has three tasks. First, to compare French (central) and Bulgarian (peripheral) interwar financial stabilizations. Second, to apply modern econo- metric techniques (VAR models) to Aftalion’s theory and check the extent to which it matches the genuine movements of monetary variables and the di- rections of their causality (Aftalion’s proof rests on elementary statistical prop- erties of the statistical series). Returning to the history of French and Bulgar- ian interwar stabilizations and viewing it through the prism of Aftalion’s ideas would give us not only new elements in analyzing today’s currency stabiliza- tion issues (especially the key role of the exchange rate and monetary rules), but would also link Bulgaria and France symbolically.
