  CAPITAL MARKETS IN EUROPE – INTEGRATION AS AN ANTI-CRISIS MEASURE

The leading thesis in this paper is the concept that the development of a unified institutionalized European capital market is a necessity and a mandatory condition for the successful implementation of the EU economic policy, which, however, has not been recognized as a priority by the governing institutions of the Economic Union. Using empirical research we prove that the average correlation of the indices of capital mar¬kets within the Euronext system is a bit higher and much more stable than the correla¬tion of the chosen five stock exchanges which are not in the Euronext system. That allows for a conclusion to be made that the degree of capital market integration is higher within the Euronext system than outside it, which may be used as a powerful anti-crisis instrument.

Equity financing underlies the right investment decision-making, engages banks, ensures increased production and receipts, and strengthens the company’s positions on the national and international markets. Under the conditions of economic crisis and in the presence of a credit restriction and limited access to the capital market, equity fi-nancing of small and medium-sized companies in our country is crucial for their sur-vival. A company’s prosperity depends on the appropriate use of all financing tech-niques, i.e. it depends on the rational combination of equity financing and external financing.

  The paper presents a study of the economic development of the countries from the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) block as an opportunity to assess the rate and pace of their economic development and the opportunities for Bulgaria, Romania and Greece (the EU member-states in BSEC) to develop their growth potential.

The paper presents a study of the economic development of the countries from the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) block as an opportunity to assess the rate and pace of their economic development and the opportunities for Bulgaria, Romania and Greece (the EU member-states in BSEC) to develop their growth potential. Especially important (in times of global financial and economic crisis) is the relation be¬tween the GDP and the ability of free foreign trade economies to establish growth factors. The study focuses on the economic potential within the BSEC in terms of the main trends and growth factors in the BSEC economies. The aim of this study is to provide a critical analysis of the economic development trends of the BSEC countries in terms of identification of key factors supporting economic growth in the 21st century. The study is structured in two parts. The first part presents a comparative monitoring analysis of the trends in the key macroeconomic indicators for the period 2003-2010 in the BSEC countries. The second part presents growth rate models of the BSEC countries in terms of the level of openness of their economies and the dynamics of their export and import flows.
