Abstract: The article is devoted to the identification and analysis of the financial terms translation peculiarities in the English professional literature.On the basis of the text corpus of the corresponding sublanguage the authors have identified the financial terminology system of the English language and used dictionaries and special resources to reveal the meaning of its terms on the basis of their functioning in the English different genre texts of the financial sphere.This article attempts to compare English and Ukrainian terms that form the corresponding financial terminologies at structural and semantic levels.The authors pay special attention to the English financial terms, the translation of which causes certain difficulties (due to the existence of several variant versions, absence of terms-equivalents in the Ukrainian language, differences between the concepts that are denoted by terms-equivalents) and to identification of the constraints that cause the translation problems of the above mentioned terms.It was found that the phenomenon of non-equivalence occurs as a result of the absence or non-identification of this or that concept, which is nominated by a foreign language term, in the termsystem of the translation language.The analysis of extralinguistic factors that caused the incompatibility of the English and Ukrainian language systems has shown, the main reason for the non-equivalence of the English financial terms is the principle differences in the financial spheres of both countries, which manifest themselves in the absence of a number of concepts in the language of the translation .Moreover, the terminology of the financial sector in Ukrainian language reflects the low level of some spheres development of Ukrainian economy compared to the developed English countries: in particular, the market of securities, credit relations, which leads to a reduced role of corresponding business operations in the management of domestic companies and, as a result, the absence of the terms range in the Ukrainian financial sublanguage.The research resulted in the proposed classification of the main ways of translating English financial terms, developed on the basis of the different genre texts analysis of the English financial literature.
