Financial market indicators in the context of European integration

Abstract

Introduction. The application of the European experience of financial market indicators is an actual subject of research for Ukrainian scientists in connection with Ukraine's European integration aspirations. However, the conditions and realities of financial activity in Ukraine are excellent, so the tendency towards blind borrowing needs to be adjusted. The modern financial system of Ukraine is an extremely powerful component of the country's economic body, but there are many questions regarding the increase in the rate of economic instability, especially against the background of Russian military aggression. To further improve the functioning of the financial sphere, the use of financial indicators (opportunities to analyze the system) will become extremely relevant. The purpose of the paper is to investigate European indicators of the financial market that can be used in Ukraine in the conditions of compliance with the course of European integration. Research results. In the paper researched the most popular European interest rate indicators, which are used to determine the cost of long-term lending. The existence of reliable financial indicators is a key condition for the development of the financial market, which makes it possible to influence the mechanisms for determining financial risks. The paper draws attention to the prospects of financial regulation in the conditions of the Eurozone (if Ukraine joins the use of a single common currency) and the possibilities of modern standards of banking regulation. At the same time, there is a need for a strong response to fraud attempts. In particular, in the Federal Republic of Germany, contributors and the indicators declared by them are strictly controlled. Since 2016, EU countries have applied criminal liability for manipulation attempts. Conclusions. Turning to the European experience of using financial indicators is relevant for Ukraine, especially in view of European integration aspirations. However, in order to meet modern requirements, there is a need to update the regulatory and legislative framework. Specific measures for reforms can become a separate object for research.
