It is economically inexpedient to compete with transnational banks of developed economies for banks in developing countries. The options for promoting their services and gaining market share can be the search for a certain category of customers who cant afford the services of international banks, as well as the conclusion of transactions for joint project financing of the largest national industrial and infrastructure projects. In this paper, we study the process of transnationalization of bank capital in the face of changes in the institutional environment of countries - recipients of capital.</p>bankmarket conditionsinvestment strategyinstitutional environmentlendingcapital expansionбанкконъюнктураинвестиционная стратегияинституциональная средакредитованиеэкспансия капитала[Cho, J.
