Abstract
Understanding how crises spread is important for policymakยญers and regulators to take appropriate measures to prevent or contain crisis spread. This paper aims to analyse the synchronisations and financial conยญtagion between the capital markets of Austria (ATX), Hungary (BUX), Croaยญtia (CROBEX), Serbia (BELEX 15), Russia (IMOEX), Czech Republic (Prague SE PX), Slovenia (SBI TOP), and Poland (WIG) from September 19th, 2017, to Sepยญtember 15th, 2022. The results show that during the Tranquil period, there were 23 integrations (out of 49 possibilities), and the markets with the most integrations are the Russian (IMOEX) and Polish (WIG) capital markets, while the Slovenian market (SBI TOP) does not integrate with any market, suggestยญing some isolation from its regional peers. During the 2020 and 2022 Stress events, we can confirm the presence of 45 integrations, with the stock inยญdexes ATX, BUX, IMOEX, and SBI TOP being the most integrated markets (7 out of 7 possibilities). These findings are supported by the results of the unยญconditional correlations, which show that the coefficients significantly inยญcreased between the Tranquil and Stress periods. To validate, the Forbes and Rigobon’s t-test shows that we are witnessing the phenomenon of marked contagion in these regional markets, with the exception of the IMOยญEX-CROBEX pair. These findings suggest that regional investors operating in these markets may have some challenges in mitigating portfolio risk, with a high probability of possible losses in their portfolios.
