Dear Babatunde Tajudeen Bello,

In terms of new research areas and topics related to financial intermediation and sustainable finance, I propose the following topics:

1. Determinants of the development of green sustainable finance, including green loans offered by commercial banks.

2. A comparative analysis of sustainable finance provided by commercially functioning economic entities and public institutions.

3. Modification of the mission of financial intermediary institutions towards a pro-environmental, green, sustainable and more socially responsible one.

4. sustainable finance and green lending as a key factor in the pro-environmental mission of banks and other financial institutions

5. green financing offered through online and mobile banking.

6. Improving the credit risk management process of commercial banks offering sustainable finance, including green loans.

7. Sustainable green financing offered by public institutions as an important factor for pro-environmental transformation of the economy and pro-environmental state interventionism.

8. development of sustainable green financing as an important factor in activating sustainable entrepreneurship.

9. development of the offer of external, sustainable financing offered within the framework of green, governmental subsidies offered to economic entities implementing pro-environmental economic undertakings.

10. Increasing the scale of external, sustainable financing offered within the framework of green, governmental, non-refundable loans and grants by public institutions, governmental agencies and local government units as an important factor in activating green, sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation.

Best regards,

Dariusz

Dear Babatunde Tajudeen Bello,

One suggestion -

How technologies like AI may help in making effective long-term investment decisions/sustainable finance?

Here are a few possible topics:

(1) Fiscal morality in various jurisdictions

(2) The EU's attempts to impose a "one size fits all" harmonised tax system on all its member states

(3) What systems exist in various financial systems for Alternative Dispute Regulation?

(4) Are individual EU member-states hampered by the fact that they cannot follow individually-as-locally-needed monetary policies, which are in fact, inconsequence of the introduction of the Euro, firmly in the hands of the ECB?

(5) To what extent is "corruption a tax"?

(6) How is financial services regulation taught in various jurisdictions' academic institutions.

Best wishes.
