addition lack the toxic assets <strong>of</strong> banks operat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Romania leads to avoid<br />

<strong>in</strong>terventions funded with <strong>public</strong> money.<br />

Based on the results <strong>of</strong> the analysis <strong>of</strong> Romanian credit <strong>in</strong>stitutions, we consider<br />

that the <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>volvement <strong>of</strong> banks <strong>in</strong> our country <strong>in</strong> transactions <strong>in</strong> securities,<br />

both money market and capital market, is not only necessary but also possible, creat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

synergy effects the follow<strong>in</strong>g advantages:<br />

<strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> efficient allocation <strong>of</strong> resources, banks have the ability to lower<br />

<strong>in</strong>termediation costs and improve capital allocation. Previously, banks reduce<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation costs (s<strong>in</strong>ce there are several debtors, the lower monitor<strong>in</strong>g costs) and<br />

resolve the benefit <strong>of</strong> free <strong>in</strong>formation, because loans are not traded, so banks have an<br />

<strong>in</strong>centive to acquire <strong>in</strong>formation. Subsequently, direct monitor <strong>in</strong>vestments made. On<br />

the other hand, banks can use <strong>in</strong>formation not available to others <strong>in</strong> order to extract<br />

higher pr<strong>of</strong>its from companies;<br />

<strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> risk <strong>management</strong>, banks consider a l<strong>in</strong>earized <strong>in</strong>ter-temporal risk<br />

(because <strong>in</strong>vestment banks are active <strong>in</strong> lower risk, while markets <strong>in</strong>vestors adjust their<br />

portfolios to achieve the higher yields) and perform the <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> liquidity risk 2 .<br />

On the other hand, the orientation <strong>of</strong> banks to have projects less risky, makes that<br />

f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>novative ideas (which are more risky) to have suffered 3 .<br />

Also, <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> banks <strong>in</strong> transactions with securities should not be seen at<br />

small (only direct fund<strong>in</strong>g for the placement <strong>of</strong> shares and bonds), but large (extended),<br />

respectively for an efficient risk <strong>management</strong>, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g as a source <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>its.<br />

Thus, given the structural <strong>change</strong>s occurr<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ancial markets and different<br />

concepts about f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>struments, we believe that bank<strong>in</strong>g features (efficient<br />

allocation <strong>of</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ancial resources <strong>in</strong> the economy, creat<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>of</strong>fer<strong>in</strong>g the market for<br />

the classic among other th<strong>in</strong>gs, like derivatives.<br />

An argument <strong>in</strong> support <strong>of</strong> this idea is a f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>novation process (e.g.<br />

conversion <strong>of</strong> a group which is securitiz<strong>in</strong>g assets <strong>in</strong> illiquid f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>struments<br />

traded on the market and credit risk segmentation and transfer risk class), which<br />

allowed banks to allocate assets more efficiently structured assets accord<strong>in</strong>g to risk<br />

categories to those who previously had no access to such a wide range <strong>of</strong> placement<br />

availability. Another argument <strong>in</strong> favor <strong>of</strong> extend<strong>in</strong>g the scope <strong>of</strong> titles is to consider the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> balance sheet and <strong>of</strong>f-balance sheet <strong>of</strong> banks evolutions. Items <strong>in</strong> the<br />
