This paper discusses the impact of the financial crisis on the profitability and risk profile of the banking sector in our country. The problem is studied at two levels – at a macroeconomic level (the banking system as a whole) and at a microeconomic level (particular banks).

  MANAGING THE STATE DEBT OF BULGARIA – ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

  Satisfying the public interest in terms of public goods and services has its lim¬its – the resource limitedness in the provision of public goods and services. Since the needs of society and individuals always exceed the available economic resources for their implementation, this necessitates the use of debt and deficit financing tools. This is ... Satisfying the public interest in terms of public goods and services has its lim¬its – the resource limitedness in the provision of public goods and services. Since the needs of society and individuals always exceed the available economic resources for their implementation, this necessitates the use of debt and deficit financing tools. This is particularly true for the state as an economic entity. Moreover, debt financing could be used for the formation and implementation of policies going far beyond the purely economic objectives of any government. Economic theory has already proved that the public debt, its quantity and management processes have an impact on the economic development of the country, consumption, savings and investments. Extending the debt crisis and the cataclysms in financial markets demonstrate the illusory idea of the adequacy of national economies in the management of public debt in the long term. It is objectively necessary to apply established measures as well as to approve new ones. The systematic approach for determining the multifaceted nature of public debt management has an important role in the area of analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to outline the Tobin Tax ability to solve certain problems related to the instability of financial markets, conditioned by speculative transactions. First proposed in the early 70’s of the 20th century, Tobin’s idea has re-tained its relevance and is still subject of attention both in academic circles and in terms of its practical implementation. Briefly reviewing the unsuccessful experience of Swe-den to introduce its own type of the Tobin Tax, the paper seeks the lessons learned through it and identifies the most significant obstacles and challenges before the finan-cial transactions taxation from financial, political and organizational point of view.
