Perevoznyk A. Innovative Tools of Banking Risks Hedging

In the Thesis, the author highlights and extends the theoretical and methodological aspects of banking risks hedging, and has developed and suggested practical recommendations in respect of the use of innovative tools of banking risks hedging in uncertainty conditions. The study of the relevant concepts and terminology has resulted in more profound construing of the ‘risk’ concept and its characteristics, viz.: 1) the ‘risk’ concept has been analysed in the context of its possible further implementation in the risk-oriented banking management practice; 2) the banking risk has been analysed in terms of the structure, as a combination of risk sources, risk exposure and consequences; 3) it has been found that any risk brings about not only negative consequences (both, expected and unexpected losses), but also positive ones (profits); 4) the sources of potential losses per banking risks have been identified.
