Abstract. The paper analyses the generally adopted classifications of the financial system. Financial systems are classified, in this paper, as either Market-based and Bank-based. However, many subgroups and the differences amongst them were pointed out. Although these differences may look to an outside observer minor and unimportant, at the very bottom line national differences may well influence the overall structure of the financial system, and create a hybrid solution. Although both German and Japanese financial systems are generally classified as Bank-based financial systems, differences amongst them are significant and the role of banks somewhat different. The paper does not deal with the area of financial system efficiency, but focuses on the main concepts of organisation and their major characteristics and features.

REDIZAJNIRANJE FINANSIJSKOG SISTEMA - NEDOUMICA IZBORA INSITUCIJA I IZGRADNJE NJIHOVOG POTENCIJALA
U radu se analizira opšte prihvaćena klasifikacija finansijskog sistema. Finansijski sistemi se klasifikuju u ovom radu kao orjentisani na tržište i i orjentisani ka bankama. Takođe se ukazuje na mnoge podgrupe i razlike među njima. Mada ove razlike spoljnim posmatračima mogu izgledati kao nebitne, u krajnjoj liniji nacionalne razlike mogu znatno uticati na ukupnu stukturu finansijskog sistema i stvoriti hibridno rešenje. Mada i Japanski i Nemački finansijski sistemi mogu biti klasifikovani kao finansijski sistemi zasnovani na bankama, razlike među njima ostaju značajne a uloga banaka u izvesnom smislu različite. U radu se ne analiziraju problemi efikasnosti finansijskog sistema, već se pažnja usmerava na glavne koncepte organizacije i njegove osnovne karakteristike.
