Bank of the future has become the subject of scientific polemics in economic domain. Bank of the future - it is a bank with a set of unique technologies that allow customers to perform financial transactions from anywhere, at any time of day and any day of the week, quickly, effectively and safely. The establishment of this type of bank will take place through the formation in accordance with the design of “Bank 2.0” conception and training to “Bank 3.0”.

Economic, social and political development of human society in recent decades put to the fore the issue of natural resources available to the earth; scientists are asking ever more seriously the question to what extent these resources can support the economic development in the future, can provide food and survival of a growing population and will be able to contribute to the eradication of underdevelopment. The emphasis of major events – the population explosion, the trend of depletion of natural resources, environmental deterioration, underdevelopment etc. – was and it is still discussed with increasing responsibility by specialists, being drafted a large number of forecasts for a variable duration perspective. The trend of depletion of natural resources is another phenomenon of the contemporary world and that will become, certainly, even more pronounced in the near future. Harnessing the increasing exhaustible natural resources with low reserves and a slow recovery of renewable resources raises acutely the issue regarding the conservation of these resources. In recent decades, there is a tendency to waste energy and raw materials in the society. There are produced goods without an absolute utility, being imposed artificially by advertising or fashion swings and many products are designed in such a way that it takes little to compel the buyer to replace them. The "consumption" civilization is characterized as a "society that throws" the population of developed countries (18% of world population) dispelling waste form 20 to 25% of the material production of the world. Excessive consumption of raw materials and fuel was favoured by their relatively low prices, maintained under the pressure of interests of transnational companies, prices that disfavoured, however, the developing countries. Consequently, consumption of raw materials and fuel turned to the easily accessible resources that have been heavily exploited, partially abandoning some less accessible resources that can be exploited only at a relatively higher price (e.g. coal from Western Europe). A good example of a resource exhaustion which regenerates hard and for a long time is the irrational exploitation of oil and wood from forests of the earth. Wood exploitation has increased especially in recent decades, with the increase in industrial consumption and in other sectors of the economy, reaching over 3 billion m3 and overtaking in a worrying manner the natural regeneration capacity (2.7 billion m3/year).

The regulation of big banks has been in the spotlight for many reasons. Examining evidence for more than 80 countries for the years 1995-2009, banking systems are shown to be highly concentrated. In many cases, the banks are so big that bank-specific credit-growth fluctuations affect the macroeconomy.

Macroeconomic modelling of the agro-industrial sector proposed in [1] is done. For this purposes production function dependent of three production factors: capital, land and labour was estimate. Fourteen more perspective branches were selected for examination, Gross Domestic Product values and volume values for examined sector and branches, supposed to stochastic shocks, were calculated.

The Republic of Moldova is one of the few remaining countries in Europe that has not yet taken the Community Innovation Survey (CIS). Can this survey help Moldova identify the drawbacks and advantages of its national innovation system? This article establishes that CIS is indeed a useful tool for an initial diagnostic study. However, in a transitional economy, where little is known about innovation, CIS results must be complemented with open-ended questionnaires. It is found that, even though the innovation output is relatively high compared to other developing countries, Moldova is stuck in Rothwell’s first generation model of innovation. Moreover, as resources are not readily available for purchasing new technologies, the government and private companies can work towards encouraging a knowledge infrastructure that promotes organizational and management innovations.

L’économie mondiale est au bord d’un nouveau ralentissement majeur Comme annoncé dans le rapport de l’année dernière, l’économie mondiale s’est considérablement affaiblie en 2012. Un nombre croissant de pays développés sont retombés dans une récession à double creux, notamment en Europe, tandis que ceux faisant face à un surendettement non-viable ont sombré encore plus profondément dans la récession. De nombreux pays développés sont pris dans une spirale descendante se renforçant grâce à un chômage élevé, une faiblesse de la demande globale exacerbée par l’austérité budgétaire, un endettement public élevé et un système financier toujours fragile. Les difficultés économiques des pays développés affectent également les pays en développement et les économies en transition à travers l’affaiblissement de leurs exportations et la volatilité accrue des flux de capitaux et des prix des matières premières. Les grandes économies en développement sont cependant également confrontées à des problèmes intérieurs, et certains pays dont la Chine font face un déclin des investissements, résultant des contraintes de financement dans certains secteurs de l’économie et d’une capacité de production excédentaire ailleurs. La plupart des pays à faible revenu ont jusqu’ici relativement bien résisté au ralentissement économique des pays développés et à revenu intermédiaire, mais sont à présent aussi affectés par l’intensification des retombées négatives. Les perspectives pour les deux prochaines années sont pleines de défis, d’incertitudes et les risques orientés vers la baisse. La croissance du produit mondial brut (PMB) devrait atteindre 2,2 pour cent en 2012 et rester bien en deçà de son potentiel à 2,4 pour cent en 2013 et 3,2 pour cent en 2014. A ce rythme modéré, de nombreuses économies seront incapables de recouvrer les pertes sévères d’emplois subies durant la «grande récession».
