Summary

Introduction

It was traditionally considered that the factors of the real economy ensured economic growth and the financial sector only serves the needs of the economy and its role as a growth factor is secondary. The main sources of economic growth are technological progress, the accumulation of physical and human capitals and the financial sector was not considered an accelerator of economic growth. Merton (1992) in the theoretical research considered the economic functions of derivatives markets and considered that exceptional growth in derivatives markets in the world financial system has been the driving force economic efficiency and economic growth. In his view, derivatives can achieve effectiveness by expanding possibilities of transferring risk, reducing operating expanses and lowering the moral hazard associated with informational asymmetry in financial markets (Merton, 1995). The last researches confirm that interest in definition of correlation of derivatives market growth with economical growth remains relevant and necessary for making decisions on application of such financial instruments and development of financial engineering
