摘要:The financial sector plays an important role in economy and therefore its development has primarily
been explored from the aspect of facilitating economic development. In order to study the impact
of the financial sector on economic development, indicators characterising the development of
the financial sector should be determined. The effectiveness of the financial sector may be defined
in many ways, and thus we face the question which indicators would be most suitable for that
purpose. This article aims to cover indicators that have been suggested or used for the evaluation
of financial sector development, and analyse their shortcomings under the current conditions of
the global financial market.
