Changes in financial systems, which occurred in the early 1990s, resulted in many profits, which improved their functioning. However, the scale and pace of changes, which took place in the financial systems environment, contribute to their greater vulnerability to shocks and financial crises. The aim of the article is a presentation of comparative analysis of two banking crises, which broke out in the mid-1990s in Latin America, i.e. in Argentina in 1994 and Paraguay in 1995.
