Abstract

The development of regional integration in Southern Africa leads to the need to harmonize the financial system and financial policy of the States-members of SADC. In this context the analysis of the Southern African States financial systems becomes relevant to identify their similarities and differences. On the basis of this analysis the following conclusions were made.The indicators of financial markets development remain relatively low. Markets are shallow, lack of liquidity, fragmentation, and exposure to high volatility due to macroeconomic or political instability in the international markets. However, it is worth noting that States are attempting to market expansion and filling their liquidity, including through the issuance of sovereign Eurobonds.The levels of financial markets development in the region vary because of different financial systems in these countries and different financial instruments.The banking sector dominates in all financial systems.Large proportion of the population has no access to the financial market in the region, resulting in parallel withexisting formal informal financial market not only in economically weak States, but in relatively stable. Moreover, SADC has turned into a jurisdiction with a low level of risk for organized crime and money laundering. The development of microfinance, designed inter alia to derive the finance in the formal sector of the economy, however, masks the structural and qualitative changes.Thus, member States of SADC are not yet ready to harmonize and unify the financial system and to conduct a unified fiscal policy. Тенденции развития региональной интеграции на Юге Африки диктуют необходимость гармонизировать финансовые системы и финансовые политики государств - участников Сообщества развития Юга Африки (САДК). В этой связи актуальным становится анализ самих финансовых систем южноафриканских государств на предмет их схожести и различия. На основе проведенного анализа были сделаны следующие выводы.Показатели развития финансовых рынков остаются на довольно низком уровне. Рынки отличаются небольшой глубиной, нехваткой ликвидности, фрагментированностью, а также подверженностью высокой волатильности вследствие макроэкономической или политической нестабильности на международных рынках. Вместе с тем нельзя не отметить, что государства предпринимают попытки для расширения рынков и наполнения их ликвидностью, в том числе за счет выпуска государственных еврооблигаций. Однако и этого недостаточно.Финансовые рынки стран Юга Африки различаются по уровню развития, что обусловлено наличием разных финансовых систем в этих государствах и финансовых инструментов, используемых на финансовом рынке.В секторальном разрезе в финансовых системах доминирует сфера банковских услуг. Сама же банковская система построена как двухуровневая: центральный банк и коммерческие банки. При этом центральный банк в большинстве стран региона работает в тесном взаимодействии с правительством.Большая доля населения не имеет допуска к финансовому рынку региона, что приводит к созданию неформального финансового рынка, параллельно существующего с формальным не только в экономически слабых, но и в относительно стабильных государствах. Более того, САДК превратилось в юрисдикцию с низким уровнем риска для организованной преступности и отмывания денег. Развитие микрофинансирования, призванного inter alia вывести финансы в формальную сферу экономики, только маскирует структурные и качественные изменения.Таким образом, государства - члены САДК еще не готовы гармонизировать, а тем более унифицировать финансовые системы и проводить единую финансовую политику.
