Abstract

In the modern society the banking system occupies a very important place; it can decisively in-fluence the economy as a whole and the quality of our lives. Therefore its proper functioning is of vital importance. For the well being of a society, lending to both retail and corporate sectors is very impor-tant. When talking about the lending rules for companies it is much easier to do a cost-benefit analysis, subjectivity occurs mainly in case of retail credit. Taking into consideration the recent bankruptcies that took place all over the world, we consider this to be one of the best moments to speak about banking ethics. This article is aiming to make a com-parison between the ways in which corporate governance in banking are applied in emergent economies compared to the developed ones. To achieve this objective we examined some characteris-tics of corporate governance in banking in general, related to some special features of the developing countries and we made an overview of the Romanian financial system.
