“…5) Chinese banks operate in markets of a significantly different group of countries (usually those countries for which access to international capital markets is limited) than international financial institutions or western banks, which reduces the level of competition between them. Consequently, Chinese banks have expanded their network into markets undervalued by Western banks, particularly resource-rich African countries [50][51][52] and the countries of Latin America [53 -56]. However, it should be noted that in the last 4 years there has been a downward trend in investment activity of Chinese banks in Latin America.…”

The article analyzes changes in the activities of transnational banks (TNBs) taking into account the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. A review of modern literature on the subject under study was carried out. Given the importance of TNBs for many countries, understanding the scope and direction of current changes is of particular importance to the global economy. Over the past two decades, transnational banking has experienced the following trends: the transformation of credit strategies from aggressive to conservative; South-South banking growth; access to alternative sources of financing; a significant increase in the size of banks; expansion of Chinese banks; strengthening the position of fast-growing markets as home countries of TNBs and the growing importance of developing and emerging markets as host countries of TNBs; geographical differentiation and regionalization of their activities. The results of the study show that the above-mentioned trends are due to a decline in the economies of developed countries and an increase in the economic importance of developing countries. Based on this, we predict a low probability that developed country banks will be active creditors in the near future. Banks from developing countries (especially within their geographical region), whose financial position is much better, can be of great importance in this capacity. It is expected that 2020 will be the year of turning points in the development of transnational banking. A decade after the global economic crisis of 2008-2009, the banking industry faces a new problem that has undoubtedly affected almost every sector of the world economy - the outbreak of coronavirus. Given the lack of research on this topic, the article comprehensively examines the consequences of the crisis pandemic for TNBs.

19’uncu yüzyılda ABD’de özgür bırakılan kölelerin kurduğu Liberya, 1980’deki askerî darbe ve 1989’da başlayan iç savaşı sonrası Batı Afrika Ülkeleri Ekonomik Topluluğu (ECOWAS) ve Birleş¬miş Milletler’in müdahalesi ile görece istikrara kavuşmuştur. 2016’da güvenlik sorumluluğunu Liber¬ya hükûmetine devreden BM Liberya Misyonu (UNMIL) 2018’de kapatılmıştır. Liberya hükûmeti sorumluluğunda icra edilen 2017 devlet başkanlığı seçimini George Weah’ın kazanmasıyla birlikte Liberya için yeni bir dönem başlamıştır. Bu makale, Liberya’yı iç savaşa götüren dinamiklerin in¬celenerek devlet başkanlığı seçimlerinden sonra kalıcı barış ve istikrarın mümkün olup olmadığının sorgulanmasını amaçlamaktadır. Açık kaynaktan derlenen bilgilere dayanan araştırma sonucunda, ülkedeki siyasi profilin tarihsel olarak değişikliğe uğradığı, buna rağmen ülkeyi iç savaşa götüren siyasi ve sosyoekonomik dinamiklerin tamamen yok olmadığı, güvenlik sektörü reformundaki boşlukların riskler taşıdığı, ülkenin kalıcı barış ve istikrar açısından bölgesel ve uluslararası gelişmelere karşı kırıl¬gan olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır

China has provided billions of dollars in loans to African countries with no strings attached compared with Western financial aid. Although the argument that China is exploiting Africa for its resources has often clouded Beijing's continued support for Africa, many African leaders have welcomed China's economic assistance and have begun to see China as a more reliable partner compared with the West. By strictly examining relevant literature on Sino–African relations, this study comprehensively explores the dynamics, implications, and benefits of Chinese investments in Africa. Whether China is indeed exploiting Africa, which will continue to be debated, it is clear that Chinese investments have contributed significantly to the development of Africa and will continue to do so as the West has been replaced by Beijing as Africa's biggest trading partner. African countries are therefore likely to continue strengthening their relationship with China further jeopardising the interests of West in the continent.
