“…Even though this does not assume the existence of true competition, these results point out to good perspectives for creation and development of competition. In fact, we could consider that our results confirm the results obtained by [Lončar & Rajić, 2012] and [Miljković et al, 2013], which referred to three quarters of 2012, as well as those of [Ljumović et al, 2014], for the period between 2003 and 2012. However, we should take account of slight growth in concentration.…”

“…Therefore, other indicators are necessary. They can be, for instance, attracting deposits [Berger & Hannan, 1989], assets and deposits [Berger et al, 1999], assets, loans and deposits [Ljumović et al, 2014], deposits and loans to legal and physical persons [Коцофана и Стажкова, 2011], deposits, loans to legal and physical persons and assets [Ракша, 2010], deposits, loans to legal and physical persons and capital [Lončar & Rajić, 2012], assets, capital, loans, deposits, interest income and net profit (loss) after tax [Miljković et al, 2013]. A review of literature about the use of concentration measures in banking sector until the beginning of 2000s is given in [Bikker & Haaf, 2002b].…”

“…Coefficients CRn are defined as the sum of n greatest shares, as follows: (2) and coefficients (indices) HH as the sum of share squares of all participants in a market: (3) We will also use these indices. But, unlike the mentioned work [Ljumović et al, 2014], where were used indices CR4 and CR8, we will use also index CR3. We consider, and this has been demonstrated on multiple occasions, that index CR8 is too high for Serbia, and therefore considered insignificant for the purpose of our work.…”

“…In [Ljumović et al, 2014], [Lončar & Rajić, 2012] and [Miljković et al, 2013] Linda-index was not used, but CRn, HH and others were: reciprocity index, comprehensive concentration index or Horvath-index (CCI), Entropy-index (E-index) and Gini-coefficient. For our purposes, all other indices except the CRn index bear no importance.…”

The paper analyzes the degree of concentration and competition in Serbian banking sector on the basis of bank financial statements for year 2016. It uses the traditional concentration indicators (CRn and HH indices), as well as the relatively rarely used Linda indices. The concentration degree is calculated based on five variables: total assets, deposits, capital, bank operating income and loans. It was demonstrated that in the case of the relatively large number of banks in Serbia, the existing concentration degree is low, which provides suitable conditions for the development of healthy competition among them.

“…Banks are the dominant institutions in the Serbian financial system (see more: Miljković et al, 2013;Ljumović et al, 2014;Ljumović & Knežević, 2015;Pavlović & Muminović, 2010). Banking sector in Serbia consists of 30 banks, 8 of them are in domestic ownership (state and private), while 22 is in foreign ownership (NBS; 2017).…”

This paper examines banking industry practice in the area of circular economy reporting with the specific emphasis on waste management reporting in this sector. Paper answers the basic questionis financial service sector exempt from the circular economy reporting requirements having low material usage and resource consumption? Manuscript indicates that in Serbia waste management reporting in banks is in the early stage. Most of the waste management indicators in banks are included as integral part of sustainability reports or as part of management report. Paper indicates that less than half of the bank population in Serbia prepares standard report required by the Environmental Protection Agency. Having in mind these results, banks managers and state officials should take into consideration the fact that most of the banks do not report on flow of waste and most of these indicators are not regularly published on website implying that stakeholders and investors are not adequately informed on the inclusion of banks into circular economy environment. Lagging behind waste management requirements could be potentially hazardous having in mind the fact that Serbia strives towards European Union membership where the legislation and practical alignment with the EU regulation is inevitable process.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important factor in economic development. The impact of FDI on the host country is achieved by transferring capital, knowledge, technology, organisational structure, and strategies. In addition, FDI affects the condition of competition in host country markets, which is the focus of this study. Our purpose is to estimate the impact of FDI on market concentration and competition conditions using the example of the Serbian banking market. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach was used to test the long- and short-run relationship between market concentration, FDI, and the number of banks from Q4 2004 to Q2 2019. The results suggest that increases in FDI volume reduce the Serbian banking market?s concentration level in the long and short run. On the other hand, a decrease in the number of banks leads to an increase in market concentration in the long and short run. Our study?s recommendation for competition authorities is to pay more attention to the concentration of undertakings, especially in financial sectors such as the banking market. The process of concentration of undertakings carries a high risk of violating competition conditions, and authorities need to mitigate this risk.
