Global Financial System

The global financial crisis of 2007–09 has increased the attention of policymakers and academics on the scale and operation of interconnected financial systems, especially on what has become known as ‘too big to fail’ in the global financial system, including both bank and nonbanks. In this chapter, we study the systemic risk of the mutual fund sector in the global financial system. More specifically, this chapter provides new evidence of systemic risk contribution in the international mutual fund sector from 2000 to 2011. The empirical analysis tracks the systemic risk of 10,570 mutual funds investing internationally. The main findings suggest that the systemic risk contributions of international mutual funds are more than proportional given the fund’s size. Policy implications are discussed in terms of practicality of regulation, macroprudential approach, and risk-taking behaviour of fund managers.

The present article evaluates history of swap agreements’ application and their functioning system in the framework of intercentral bank relations (in particular by the Federal Reserve System of the United States (the Fed)). Swap includes two transactions: the first is a currency exchange on the spot market rate and the second is a future transaction on the rate defined in advance. This mechanism proved its efficiency within its application through history. In 1970s, during a radical transformation period of an entire global currency architecture caused by collapse of Bretton Woods’s system the Fed applied swap agreements to promote stability on financial markets and particularly on currency markets. Later during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 these agreements again have become rescue measures for the global financial system, as the financial shock caused liquidity deficit for financial institutions and thus cut dramatically credit supply. And finally nowadays the global financial system is badly in need of swap agreements. The swaps’ force of attraction is that firstly it differs from crediting as the latter is one way currency extension, while swap agreement is the exchange of equivalent values. And secondly it fixes the rate of the future currency transaction what lightens both monetary regulation within national jurisdiction and regulation on the level of public international law.

Over Time

This paper investigates the risk contribution of 29 industrial sectors to the China stock market by using one-factor with Durante generator copulas (FDG) and component expected shortfall (CES) analyses. Risk contagion between the systemically most important sector and other sectors is examined using a copula-based ∆CoVaR approach. The data cover the 2008 global financial crisis and the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The empirical results show that the banking sector contributed most to systemic risk before and during the global financial crisis. Nonbank finance became equally important in 2020, and the COVID-19 pandemic promoted the position of the computer and pharmaceuticals sectors. The spillover effect diminishes over time, but there remains risk contagion between sectors. The risk spillover trend is consistent with that of systemic risk.

The shock to the global financial system in 2020, caused by the coronavirus, provides is a test for the measures taken since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. The coronavirus has caused a shock to the global economic system, disrupting both supply and demand, and this demands more direct government intervention than central banks are able to provide. Whereas the 2008 crisis was one centred on the global banking system that of 2020 was an event akin to a war, natural disaster, or a political revolution. In turn that had implications for the global financial system as it contained the potential to destabilize banks by threatening the solvency of those to whom they had made loans and extended credit. To forestall such an event central banks are called upon to act as lenders of last resort, particularly the Federal Reserve, as it was the only one capable of supplying the US$s on which all banks relied when making and receiving payments, and borrowing and lending, among themselves. From the outset that response appears to have learned lessons from the mistakes of the 2008 crisis, in terms of speed, scale, and co-ordination, while the global banking system is far more resilient.

In October 2020, the number of people infected with the corona virus reached cumulatively 2 million cases and over 130,000 deaths, which shows that the economic implications of the pandemic crisis continue to complicate the economic and financial situation of the global financial system and national systems. Everything points to the fact that the virus will continue to persist. With the continuous expansion in Africa, Asia, Latin America, but also Islamic countries, the same economies are trying to stop the consequences that the COVID-19 pandemic brings with it. Accordingly, the subject of the research is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the conventional versus Islamic financial system at the time of COVID-19. Having in mind the above, the main goal of the study is to investigate and identify the Strengths and Weaknesses of the Conventional and Islamic Financial System during the Covid Pandemic -19. The author came to the conclusion that during the global financial crisis of 2008 and the time of the pandemic of December 2019, the Islamic financial system showed better performance, in terms of better protection against certain risks and the fact that financial activities and business financial market are conducted in compliance with Sharia principles. Also, the author is of the opinion that if we overcome this crisis, we must learn and work both in terms of potential preventive measures against the pandemic, and in improving sustainable economic development before it is too late, whether it was a conventional financial system or Islamic. Secondary data collected from relevant sources will be used (desk research). In addition, other methods stand out: methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization and abstraction, methods of systematized approach (holistic approach), classification and comparison, and methods of induction

Global Financial System

A globally warning issued in September 2018 by the former president of the European Central Bank, Frenchman Jean-Claude Trichet says the world economy is exactly the way ahead of the economic crisis of 2008. He said that too many debts have done the global financial system as vulnerable as it was ten years ago in September 2008, when the American bank Lehman Brothers collapsed. Excessive indebtedness in advanced economies was a key factor in triggering the global financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, Jean-Claude Trichet said in an interview with AFP.Currently, debt growth in advanced countries, particularly in the private sector, has slowed, but this slowdown has been offset by an acceleration in emerging-nation debt growth. This makes the entire world financial system at least the same vulnerable as it was in 2008......

Mutual Fund Flows

Abstract The evolution of mutual funds in terms of their inflows and outflows is seen as a good indicator of the capital markets’ performance in different countries. At individual level, investors substantiate their buying decisions on the past performance information and invest asymmetrically in funds with very good performance in the previous periods. Numerous studies, mainly conducted in US, illustrate that mutual fund flows are highly dependent on the funds’ previous performance, as a common behavior of investors resides in looking for highly performing funds than to get rid of poorly performing ones. This paper investigates the flows of funds into and out of Slovakian and Hungarian mutual funds during the period 2007-2014 and has as main purpose to analyze the behavior of investors in mutual funds in these two emerging financial markets. The analysis focuses on identifying patterns in investors’ decision making processes and on checking the similarity of their behavioral patterns and illustrating differences among the two. Given the peculiarities of the studied period, a financially turbulent period, the paper also tries to evaluate if and how the financial crisis affected the investing behavior of Slovakian and Hungarian investors, based on the evolution of inflows and outflows of funds in a period that comprises the global financial crisis and the present period in which recovery has started.

Abstract The complex web of exposures and interlinkages across the financial system highlights the relevance of network analysis in understanding systemic risk and guiding the design of financial regulation. This paper discusses how network models—and those based on epidemiological approaches in particular—offer a compelling description of the structure of real-world financial systems and shed light on different contagion mechanisms seen during the global financial crisis. We also review how these insights may inform macroprudential risk assessment and policy in the areas of stress-testing the financial system and the regulation of systemically important institutions. The role of non-bank financial intermediation and social networks in shaping financial system risk is also briefly considered.

Global Financial System

The size and scope of financial sectors throughout the world have grown exponentially in tandem with the rise of globalization and increased capital mobility. The terms “economic globalization” and “financialization” are often discussed as inextricably related phenomena. Although the rapid increase in the number and variety of financial services and products during the past four decades has helped spur economic growth and create wealth on an unprecedented scale, the devastating fallout from the global financial crisis of 2008–2009, and the economic turbulence that followed, demonstrates how poorly managed financial sectors can simultaneously cause enormous pain. This chapter argues that if the opportunities created by economic globalization and financialization are to be maximized, while at the same tempering volatile financial markets, then the global financial system (and the national economies connected with it) must be fundamentally restructured. A number of ways that should be taken under consideration are discussed.
