dc.description.abstractThis study explores the complex relationship between banking sector performance and economic growth in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Given the banking sector’s prominent role within the CEE financial system, our research examines its potential as a driver of economic growth using a fixed-effects panel regression model, focusing on four key variables: non-performing loans, total capital ratio, return on assets, and the ratio of bank assets to GDP. Granger causality tests further assess the directional nature of this relationship. Contrary to prevailing assumptions, the findings reveal no significant direct impact of banking sector performance on economic growth across the CEE region. Instead, the results of the Granger causality indicate that economic growth significantly bolsters the banking sector’s development, suggesting an inverse causality. These results offer valuable insights for policymakers, indicating that efforts to stimulate banking sector growth may benefit from prioritising economic development. The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the CEE context, emphasizing the unique interplay between economic growth and banking sector development in post-transition economies.en
dc.description.abstractNiniejsze badanie opisuje i wyjaśnia złożony związek między funkcjonowaniem sektora bankowego a wzrostem gospodarczym w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej (CEE). Mając na uwadze kluczową rolę sektora bankowego w systemie finansowym regionu CEE, autorzy badają potencjał tego sektora jako czynnika napędzającego wzrost gospodarczy, wykorzystując model regresji panelowej z efektami stałymi. W badaniu skoncentrowano się na czterech kluczowych zmiennych: kredytach zagrożonych (NPL), łącznym współczynniku kapitałowym (TCR), stopie zwrotu z aktywów (ROA) oraz relacji aktywów bankowych do PKB. Testy przyczynowości Grangera dodatkowo oceniają kierunkowy charakter tej relacji. Wbrew powszechnym założeniom wyniki nie potwierdzają istotnego bezpośredniego wpływu sektora bankowego na wzrost gospodarczy w regionie CEE. Zamiast tego wyniki testu przyczynowości Grangera wskazują, że to wzrost gospodarczy znacząco wspiera rozwój sektora bankowego, sugerując odwrotną przyczynowość. Wyniki te dostarczają cennych wskazówek dla decydentów politycznych, sugerując, że działania na rzecz rozwoju sektora bankowego mogą odnieść większy sukces przy priorytetowym traktowaniu rozwoju gospodarczego. Badanie to wnosi istotne zrozumienie specyfiki regionu CEE, podkreślając unikalną interakcję między wzrostem gospodarczym a rozwojem sektora bankowego w gospodarkach posttransformacyjnych.pl
