    Abstract

    The article considers the conceptual approaches to the development of the securities market in the Republic of Armenia. The article considers the main conceptual principles, the logic, the possiblities and the priorities of the development of different parts and instruments of the securities market. Based on these studies the necessity of performing successive and comprehensive measures for the development of the securities market is substantiated. At each stage of development of the securities market emphasis should be put on the development of a particular segment and specific instruments of the market. Measures for the development of a segment or instruments of the market cannot give the desired result until the conditions necessary for the development of this segment or instruments are created. However, the development of a specific segment or instruments should not be considered separately from other segments and instruments of the securities market. It is also important to define the priorities of the measures for the development of the market.

    Abstract

    In the article the trends of capital flows in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries are analyzed and their interstate differences in pre- and post crisis periods are revealed. The majority of CEE countries have fully liberalized capital and financial accounts. In pre-crisis period CEE countries received huge capital inflows, which determined high economic growth rates in these countries. However, the Global crisis affected the capital flows very negatively. As a result, they sharply declined, their concentration increased, and their structure became riskier. Those countries, which were able to save capital flows, experienced the lowest losses and in those countries, where capital flows stopped, experienced the highest fall.
