As stakeholders increasingly demand greater corporate transparency and accountability, regulatory bodies have stepped in to ensure that sustainability reporting is standardized and robust. This paper aims to establish the relationship between the sustainability-related disclosure rules and the dynamic indicators of the financial market. The object of the study is 74 countries of the world, which are grouped into developed and developing countries. The time period is 2021, for the stock market capitalization indicators – 2020, as the most recent years with available data. The research methods are normality tests (Shapiro-Wilk and Shapiro-Francia test), comparison methods (Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U test, regression analysis with dummy variables), linear and non-linear correlation and regression analysis (logarithmic, polynomial). The results obtained confirmed that the sustainability-related disclosure rules are higher in developed countries than in developing ones. At the same time, in developed countries, the growth of such requirements affects the increase in stock price volatility, stock market capitalization, foreign direct and portfolio investments. For developing countries, there is also an increase in the stock market capitalization, portfolio investments and the volume of stock trading. Recognizing these trends can benefit both financial market regulators and participants to encourage the formation of a transparent and efficient financial market, thereby mitigating the problems associated with information asymmetry.

Views: 222 Downloads: 47 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become a universal call to action over the past few years and a basis for assessing the progress of sustainable development of countries and organizations. This paper aims to identify the relationship between the sustainable development activities of universities in different regions of the world, as reflected in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings (THE IR), and the progress towards achieving SDGs of the countries in which these universities operate. The research methods were correlation analysis and robust regression tools, and parametric and non-parametric methods of variance analysis. The information base was the results of annual reports based on the THE IR and Sustainable Development Reports for 2017–2021. The results confirm the existence of directly proportional close correlations between the variables, while the regression analysis confirmed that a one-unit increase in the overall THE IR ranking score leads to a corresponding increase in the overall progress of countries in achieving SDGs (on average by 0.2-0.3 units) and SDGs 3, 8, 11, 16 in particular. It was also found that universities play a key role in achieving different SDGs in various regions. In Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and North Africa, universities are critical for SDG 17 achieving. In OECD countries, universities contribute most to SDG 3. Examples of the best practices that can be used as a guide for university administrations that are at the beginning of developing sustainable development policies are also given.
