However, objectively existing differences in the legal framework and practice of particular countries, including Russia, require gradual harmonization of banking legislation with the aim of creating an effective common financial market. The paper offers recommendations for harmonization of banking legislation in various areas: terms and definitions, licensing procedures, activities of banks with foreign investments, deposits insurance schemes, etc. Classification-JEL: F36, F53, G15 Keywords: harmonization, bank, banking system, law, regulation, Eurasian Economic Union Journal: Finansovyj žhurnal — Financial Journal Pages: 33-40 Issue: 1 Year: 2016 Month: February File-URL: http://www.nifi.ru/images/FILES/Journal/Archive/2016/1/stftii_1/fm_2016_1__03.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:fru:finjrn:160103:p:33-40
