WORLD AND DOMESTIC TRENDS OF CONSOLIDATION PROCESSES IN THE BANK SPHERE

Abstract

Over the past twenty years, the processes of consolidation in the world banking sector have increased significantly, similar trends are also observed in the Ukrainian banking market. The reason for what is happening is not only the natural intra-industry inclination of banks to consolidate, but also external factors. In this regard, merger and acquisition agreements have recently become highly relevant. In this article, various types of mergers and acquisitions in different countries are analyzed. It was concluded that the experience of some countries in the organization of mergers and acquisitions could be introduced into the Ukrainian banking system, as it is a qualitative mechanism for the transformation of banks that are unable to function independently.
