Abstract: The article's relevance is determined by the fact that in the conditions of a bank-oriented financial system the “signals” from the central bank regarding decisions about the monetary policy go to the economy via banks, through which the main channels of the transmission mechanism of the monetary policy are implemented. The analysis of the effects of banks as the actors of the monetary policy is therefore relevant. The article, based on a study of the elements of investment potential for their impact on GDP, contains conclusions about the possibility of achieving economic growth as one of the strategic goals the monetary policy through the main channels of the transmission mechanism using its standard tools. The article is to identify and quantify the factors that have significant effects on economic growth through the impact on investment potential. The change in the Bank of Russia’s key interest affects only some of the investment potential elements such as deposits of legal entities in rubles. Such impact can slightly improve GDP. The use of monetary policy tools will enable the influence on the change of the nominal interest rate and, therefore, the adjustment of real rates, and it may also affect aggregate demand (consumption and investment potential).

Abstract: A quarter of a century after the first Russian joint stock companies were set up, the Russian equity market has become the leading market in Eastern and Central Europe. Russia has a state of the art trading and settlement system, with the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) being its centerpiece. The Russian joint stock companies successfully introduce the best practices of corporate governance. The accounting system is becoming more and more adequate and transparent. However, in the last decade the Russian stock market has demonstrated one of the worst returns in the world among the 20 largest economies. Judged by the main indicators (P/E, P/B, Dividend Yield) the Russian market looks very much undervalued.

The authors analyze the causes of this situation, define the factors which impact most the Russian stock market (the ownership structure, volatility, dividend policy, the role of foreign investors, correlation with oil prices) and make the conclusion that the most important factor has been the sanctions imposed upon the largest Russian companies after 2014.

Abstract: The article covers the advent of new sources of income which banks should concentrate on in the light of digitalization and development of new technologies. In spite of dynamic bank cards market development, there are many unresolved issues and challenges in this sphere, which generally relate to the necessity to enhance legal framework regulation; development of effective anti-fraud methods; utilization of innovative technologies and others. The Russian economy and society are in need of highly efficient, safe and economically viable and independent payment system, including such method of payments as bank cards. The conducted analysis revealed that there is a correlation between individual indicators of the bank card market development and the level of a bank's income. The latter depends not only on the revenue flows generated by the growth of interest rates on loans or other conventional types of banking transactions, but on the level of bank cards transactions. It is important to identify correlation between the growth of banks’ fee income from card transaction and the amount of funds raised by commercial banks, the numbers of ATM, the average income per card, the number of operating cards, and per capita income of the population.

Keywords: Bank card, bank fee income, regression analysis, transaction.

The purpose of the article is to study the directions and instruments of the influence of credit activity of commercial banks on the sectoral structure of the Russian economy. Based on analysis of the characteristics of Russian bank’s credit policy measures were proposed to enhance its targeted focus on the modernization of Russia's economic structure through the development and support of special lending programs, including with regard to spatial development requirements. For this, a methodology has been developed to justify the choice of the region for their most effective implementation using the Gale-Shapley theorem. The set of proposed measures can contribute to strengthening the role of commercial banks in ensuring sustainable development of the national economy based on the impact on its structure.

Keywords: Investment, bank lending, government support instruments, mortgage.
