This work analyses the competitiveness of the UK's banking industry. The literature review is based on Porter's 5 forces model. It is found that the UK's banking industry is very competitive in certain segments such as current accounts and credit cards, while very uncompetitive in others such as services provided to SMEs. The internet has decreased the barriers of entry into this market, and therefore the banking industry is facing a strong growth of rivals from large non-banks such as supermarkets and retail stores. Although these rivals have brought higher competitive pressures to the industry, they have also allowed banks to provide a wider range of services, which in turn allow them to increase customer loyalty. The second part of work investigates the share price movements of Barclays bank. It is found that the share price does not follow the Random Walk model, but rather is highly dependant on the industry's share price performance.

The accession process of Russia to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) leads to different issues in almost all area of Russian economic, political and business life. The participants of the Russian financial sector, particularly of the banking sector probably are concerned the most. The following study attempts to identify the main effects on the Russian Banking Sector that can be caused by the Russia's accession to the WTO. The experiences of other countries that have already joined the WTO show that there are different positive and negative effects on banking sector. The current research was based on the exploratory study research strategy using the telephone interviews with experts and specialist in Russian Banking Industry. The study based both on the literature review and interviews has revealed that indeed there will be some positive and negative effects, although in their majority the bankers see more negative effects on of which is high competition with foreign banks, which will be impossible for Russian banks to surpass. It is not a secret that the national sector of financial services (especially bank) in the development lags even more behind the foreign financial institutions than real sector of the Russian economy. Foreign banks' capabilities are much bigger than Russian banks have, so it is impossible to recognise such competition as a fair one. At the same time, such high competition can cause positive impacts on Russian banks, because of the foreign organisations introduce not only new technologies but also provide motivating influence on the Russian banks. Such positive effects can be benefited only if the accession strategy provides a combination of protection of interests of the Russian economic participants with a goal of their development under influence of economic and the international competition.

The privatisation process in Kazakhstan was one of significant events during the first years of independence and its importance for all economy is hard to overestimate.
Privatisation create great opportunities both for investors to penetrate into new markets previously closed for public sector and for State with improving of budget by the sale of stake in companies. Also new owners of privatised companies in common carry out technical modernisation of equipment, adjust new managerial methods and improve financial condition of the company. This study uses a variation of economic value added to analyse the performance of Kazakhstan banking during the last stage of the mass privatisation for the period of 1998-2001. The different measures of cost of capital were used to compute value added and the results on it were also compared with more standard measures of performance such as ROA ad ROE. Value added was found to be mostly negative throughout the sample, though on average, three to four banks were able to add positive value. The findings also suggest that the performance of Kazakhstan banking is improving over time.
