The global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009 has created a state of uncertainty and instability in virtually all fragments of the general management system, based on market relationship. Unfortunately, this state is not overcame even today, creating different and very difficult problems deficits on managerial decision making, especially for the small farmers in rural area. The main goal of the article is to identify, based on carried out investigations, the most favorable directions of farming, given that the aforementioned global crisis has caused significant changes in the correlation between costs and market prices for many agricultural products, primarily – cereals. The methodological basis of investigations is the analysis of dynamic rows in agricultural production, as well as methods of comparison, different methodological approaches, concerning business assessment, identification and / or risk assessment etc. As a main result of the carried out investigations can be seen through the effective management of agricultural diagnosis at the level of regional market of grain products, including – planning rational structure of fruit crops for 2017 and subsequent years in the near future.

Economic development is a quantitative and qualitative concept with a much wider scope than the economic growth. While economic growth is measured by a limited number of indicators, of which the most important is the growth rate of GDP, in this context the economic development implies a dynamic equilibrium in the long run, designing trajectories for a sustainable growth that will be based on optimum use of all available resources, the continued development of innovative potential and human capital, creating and developing strong institutions to foster economic growth and, obviously, but not least, ensure a judicious distribution of income and wealth (the Gini index). The goal of the research is investigating the state of the global economy in the early XXI century, in the post-crisis period, in order to detect development directions and adaptation to new economic conditions. At global level, cheap and clean natural gas is increasingly becoming a competitor of the coal as the main energy source. It can be mentioned that in many countries, the coal is starting to become unpopular to the extent that governments are tightening the laws on environmental protection. The challenges are just as real and complex as the opportunities. Estimation of the global market is one of the tools of research, identifying and implementing thoughtful, well-developed solutions. It is important to define the challenges and opportunities when they arise along the way in order to adjust them properly and move forward.

Actuality of this article is argued with the fact that together with the dynamic development of the economic situation and creation of new financial products, a series of illicit activities of money legalization and laundering have been triggered. The assessment of money laundering process has become a problem of the international community, which currently imposes stringent development of prevention and compensation methods of its negative manifestations. Thus, we aim to analyze this negative phenomenon and determine the measures of suppression and minimization of processes of legalization of income from illegal activities. The following research methods have been used during the process of writing this article: logical method of systemic analysis and synthesis, comparative method, classification method, method of deduction, etc. Referring to the results and conclusions, we can emphasize that the banking sector’s activity on combating money laundering is constantly jeopardized by certain vulnerable situations, thus being required a constant monitoring for decision making of minimizing and suppression of risks timely. The external environment of the banking sector was always favorable for forming new risks involving banks in illegal money laundering schemes. In this context, the identification of these risks is possible through implementation of new technologies in the banking system, tools and techniques for financial and banking monitoring, along with the application of good management of staff in the banking practice.
