Methodological approach to the macroeconomic analysis of the banking system

Abstract

At the present stage of its development, the Russian banking system is facing a lot of internal and external problems that can potentially reduce its financial stability and independence (especially in the last couple of years). The banking sector has successfully resisted prohibitive sanctions, some of which were fundamentally aimed specifically at this part of the country's financial market. Since the very beginning of the introduction of package sanctions against Russia, restrictions have been imposed on a regular basis in relation to the activities of many commercial banks, which act as key links in the banking sector. In this regard, it is especially important to regularly analyze the current state of the banking system in dynamics. In the article, the author examines various methodological approaches to assessing the state of the banking system. In the process of research, the banking system is presented as a set of elements that require both a separate analysis of each of them and an assessment of the existing links between them. This study also analyzes the macroeconomic indicators of the banking sector of the Russian Federation for the previous five years, which makes it possible to formulate the existing development trends and prospects quite effectively.
