Hungary’s Parliament is about to pass a new banking bill to bring in line the banking sector with the needs of its market-based economy. The commercial banks are required to meet Western-style capital requirements, such as equity vs. reserves and risk ratios.

The law does not put any percentage limit on state ownership. However, individual shareholdings are limited to 25 percent.

The law allows broader powers, to the Hungarian Bank Commission, the national Bank of Hungary and the Government in the approval of various activities of banks.

Under the new law the banks are forbidden to mix investment funds and brokerage operations with commercial banking. However they are allowed to set up separate investment subsidiaries.

SWIFT, the society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, is a non-profit bank-owned, cooperative society. It was set up in Brussels in 1973 and now it has more than a thousand member banks in more than fifty countries including our country. Vnesheconombank has been a member bank since 1987.

SWIFT is a service organization which processes and transmits banking transactions electronically between member banks on all the five continents.

Electronic systems transfer large sums around the world quickly and effectively. In this way a new type of international banking is being established.

But payment procedures in international trade still rely heavily on paper-based documents. And specialists say that one day all the data of invoices, shipping documents, various receipts and other documents will be provided in computer form instead. No paper documents will be used any longer. All the information will be sent electronically.

This will certainly lead to a lot of technical problems.

The conference was co-sponsored by the Russia-based United Nations Industries Development Organization (UNIDO).

During the conference Russia assured the participants that the country was committed to its open-door economic policy, and that it urgently needed to normalize its relations with the United States to gain access to loans from multilateral organizations and direct foreign investments from Western enterprises to develop its infrastructure.

The participants from 431 companies held 1,200 meetings with state-owned enterprises in Russia. Before the conference ended 49 letters of intent were signed and 18 feasibility studies were agrees to.

In addition, Russia granted business licences to 11 foreign companies ventures worth over $ 50 mn.

Russia is rich in natural resources and its workforce diligent. The country has changed its foreign investment law which allow private local companies along with state-owned enterprises ventures directly with foreign partners.

In the banking sector Russia will soon issue licences to foreign banks to operate in the country. At present there are five banks from France, one from the UK and one from Thailand with representative offices in Russia. The main activities of these banks are in the area of trade finance, project finance and correspondent banking.
