Methodological Approach to Assessing the Investment Attractiveness of the Industry for the Banking Sector

Abstract

This paper presents selected results of the study on improving information and methodological tools to increase the effectiveness of entrepreneur’s and state investment policy. Final result of this study - is developing guidelines for calculating the coefficient of investment attractiveness of the banking industry based on the physical theory of heat transfer. Classification of industries according to the degree of investment attractiveness allows to select the industries that will receive the least amount of resources from private investors. The least attractive sectors will be able to obtain public investment resources. For sectors with high investment attractiveness, public funds will only supplement the flow of free liquidity from the banking sector. The lack of liquidity in the real sector is compensated by attracting private funds, a significant share of which is in the banking sector. The real sector could also get the state investments. In this regard, it is important for the state and the banking sector to assess the industries from the position of the possibility of returning the funds, as well as obtaining additional income. The study presents guidelines for calculating the coefficient of investment attractiveness of the industry for the banking sector. The indicator takes into account both the distribution of bank loans in the economy by industry, and the expected profitability of lending, affecting the bank’s decision to issue a loan. Based on the analysis of theoretical concepts, it was demonstrated that the liquidity of the banking sector can be redistributed ≪freely≫ (due to market mechanisms) and ≪involuntarily≫ (through the implementation of state policy related to the direction of funds in certain sectors where there is a lack of resources). The study considers a methodological approach to the assessment of factors affecting the distribution of liquidity of the banking system in the real sector of the economy. The considered approach takes into account behavioral aspects of decision-making in the banking system.
