    Abstract.The scale, the major economic indicators and the competitive impact o oreign banks onthe national banking system o a transitional economy, based on the case o Ukraine, are studied.

    The banking sector development o the transitional economies diers rom that o developedcountries. Transitional economies have the bank-centered nancial systems with the prevailingbanking sector, a rapidly growing demand or banking services, booming credit supply, weak ins-titutional and regulatory policies causing problems with banking stability. The intensive entry ooreign banks and their increasing market share have a signicant impact on banking competitionand perormance.

    The paper argues that the oreign banks entry by the acquisition o Ukrainian banks shares iscompetitive by nature (demand-side competition and supply-side competition on the entry stageand post-entry market competition). The entry competition infuences the relatively high price in-dicators o the Ukrainian banks shares in comparison with neighbouring countries. The post-entrycompetitive position o oreign banks is based on utilizing their competitive advantages and thepost-entry market strategy. The oreign banks utilize capabilities to increase capitalization, assetsand liabilities management and gaining a substantial market position, and oer more competitiveproducts and services in all major market segments.

    Keywords: transitional economies, banking sector, oreign banks, bank share price, banking

    competition.
