Theoretical substantiation of the factors for developing the banking system in the Russian Federation

Relevance. The banking system is a key structure in a market economy. The definition of a «banking system» affects all aspects of its functioning: organizational, legal, and institutional. The banking system can function effectively only if a number of principles are fulfilled that justify the organization of effective monetary circulation that meets the needs of the economy and its expanded reproduction. The national banking system exists in the economic environment of the State in which it operates. Therefore, the study of the banking system of the Russian Federation involves considering it not separately, but together with a set of factors influencing it. Aim. To substantiate the factors of developing the banking system in the Russian Federation through segmentation at the level of the macroenvironment (external indirect impact) and microenvironment (internal direct impact). Methods. General scientific methods of cognition, including comparativism, segmentation, generalization, synthesis, detailing. Tasks. In order to achieve this aim, the segmentation of the factors for developing the banking system in the Russian Federation was carried out, indicating the specifics of the impact. The authors have considered the eterministic analysis models that can be applied to quantify the degree of impact. Results. The factors influencing the banking system can be conditionally divided into internal and external ones. Internal factors have a direct impact on the banking sector development, external factors may indirectly influence it, but this in no way reduces the degree of possible impact. The factors were grouped according to the following criteria: economic, social, man-made, managerial, professional, political, and competitive. It is quite difficult to assess the influence of one or another factor, first of all, for the reason that all the analyzed indicators must be expressed quantitatively. There is also a question about the degree of influence of one or another factor, which should be expressed in terms of coefficients, that is, in any case, there may be a subjectivity of assessment in the calculation, which makes the calculations ambiguous and possibly erroneous. It is advisable to assess the impact of the studied factors using deterministic factor models that will generate a model for the banking system development and formulate strategies for the development of the banking sector and the country economy. Conclusions. The necessity of structuring the factors of banking system development was justified in order to further evaluate them through a deterministic factor analysis in order to bring the results obtained to numerical values.
