Abstract

The financial market of the Republic of Belarus is traditionally considered to be quite developed in relation to states with an emerging market. However, the analysis of the main macroeconomic indicators of the national economy development and financial depth indicators indicates that the market potential is not fully realized to ensure the country's economic growth. The purpose of the research is to identify the main directions for improving the financial market of Belarus within the framework of the Eurasian economic integration. The methodological basis of the research was analytical reviews, regulatory legal acts, scientific research on the study of problems and prospects for the development of the financial market of the Republic of Belarus. The study used the methods of dialectics, formal logic and systems analysis, in particular, general logical methods of analysis, analogies, methods of description and comparison, statistical methods to assess the dynamics of the Belarussian financial market development and substantiate proposals for its improvement. The main hypothesis of the research was the assumption that improving the Belarussian financial market development will stimulate the country's economic growth and create conditions for deepening the Eurasian economic integration on the way to creating a common financial market of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter – the EAEU). Presentation of the main material. The financial market of Belarus is currently operating in the conditions of Eurasian economic integration and is involved in the active process of harmonizing the national legislations of the EAEU member states to create a common financial market. The Belarusian financial market development will stimulate the country's economic growth, that’s why it’s important to achieve a sufficient level of financial depth. The paper analyzes the main indicators of the financial depth of the Belarussian financial market in 2011-2020. The main problems of the country's financial market development have been identified and a set of measures to improve it has been proposed. The originality and practical significance is confirmed by the proposed directions for improving the Belarusian financial market within the framework of the Eurasian economic integration. Conclusions and prospects for further research. The financial market of the Republic of Belarus is dynamically developing and quite sustained, however, its potential is not being fully realized. The structural imbalance of the market is manifested in the dominance of the banking sector, in which a significant part of the savings of individuals and legal entities is concentrated. It’s necessary to reduce the active participation of the state in the redistribution financial resources to close the gaps in institutional development. The implementation of the proposed set of measures to improve the Belarusian financial market in the context of the formation of a common financial market of the EAEU member states will create a stable, transparent and liquid national financial market. Further research will focus on the development of a strategy for the development of the financial market of the Republic of Belarus in the course of the formation of a common financial market of the EAEU states.
