Abstract
This study examines the impact of financial openness on financial development and the moderating roles of institutional quality and trade openness in Eastern European countries over several decades. We focus on the period following the Berlin Wall (post-1989) and the transition from centrally planned to market-oriented economies after 1991. Financial openness promotes financial development, with institutional quality strengthening this effect, whereas trade openness weakens the positive impact of financial openness. Our results suggest that excessive openness may hinder financial development in Eastern Europe, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to financial globalization, particularly in transitioning economies.
