Corporate Social Responsibility of Bulgarian Banking Sector – Mission and Business Practice
Summary:
As a consequence of legal regulation, the organization of bank activity and established traditions, society often treats commercial banks only as subjects, absorbing and redistributing monetary resources in order to obtain financial advantage which benefits both banks and their owners. However, a similar perception is not applicable to the vision of modern banks which demonstrate aspirations of harmony with the surrounding socio-economic environment and a desire to improve their image in the corporate community. In this respect, corporate social responsibility of banks is a way to voluntarily integrate their business into national and international processes.

Optimization of Monetary Aggregates from the Point of View of the Austrian Monetary Theory - Possibilities and Effects
Summary:
The money supply is calculated by different monetary aggregates with a certain structure and scope. The Federal Reserve calculates and publishes two units - M1 and M2. The correct measurement of money supply plays a fundamental role in the conduct of effective monetary policy by central banks. Unfortunately, official monetary aggregates do not have a clearly defined theoretical basis in the selection of individual components, which can lead to inaccuracies in their disclosure and management. This makes the current study relevant, through which an optimized monetary aggregate can be presented, based on the Austrian monetary theory. One of the most accurate monetary aggregates is based on the Rothbard-Salerno concept and is referred to in English-language financial theory as True Money Supply (TMS). The monetary instruments that are part of it cover two main criteria - whether they are the final means of payment of all transactions and whether they are a claim to cash that is convertible at face value.

Practical-Applied Model for the Recognition of Impairment Losses for Defaulted Exposures in Commercial Banks
Summary:
The Bulgarian banking system has the practice of determining the impairment losses, which is entirely built on the concepts of Ordinance No.9 of BNB, cancelled in April 2014. After its cancellation any bank credit institution must take action to establish a new policy for the recognition and measurement of their risk exposures and on these grounds to take action to determine the extent of devaluation for a credit risk. In connection with this, the parameter "defaulted exposure" can be used for the purposes of internal bank systems for the recognition and measurement of risk exposures in the decision for the recognition of impairment for credit risk. Defaulted exposure can be defined as an indicator of the level of risk that a bank can take, depending on the ability and desire of a borrower to meet their obligations on the debt. The defaulted exposure is equal to the carrying value of the exposure calculated by the applicable accounting standards.
