This article describes the “Blockchain” which is an upcoming technology in the current leading world and which serves as a capital market use-cases for many of the global Fintech industries across the world, is a distributed ledger of economic transactions which not only used for recording financial transactions but mostly everything of value in this world. In the current world, mostly all the transactions are done through online which mainly includes the bank as a “middle man,” which could be untrustworthy at times. Blockchain comes into the picture which eliminates the need of a middle man or third party between the users who are involved in the transactions. Represents a financial ledger entry of data structure which consists of record of transactions which is digitally signed and cannot be tampered as authenticity is ensured in which the ledger is considered to be of high integrity. One of the leading and highly valued platform of blockchain is “Hyperledger Fabric” which is meant for securing transactions and serves a powerful container technology for smart contract development in the global capital firms. The potential of Blockchain and DLT in capital markets in this upcoming world could remove many of the inefficiencies and costs inherent in the global capital markets across the world and could be considered as a viable technology which enable to settlement.

It is generally argued that with lifting of barriers to the flow of capital across countries by respective governments, the capital markets have come closer and are now more integrated. This paper examines the existence (or absence) of integration among stock indices of 11 developed and emerging stock markets from three continents: Asia, Europe and America. Using synchronous weekly closing index values from November, 1990 through December, 2001, the study found that all the 11 stock markets are cointegrated. The cointegration analysis was carried out using an error correction vector autoregression (VECM) model. The study goes further to test whether there are any causal relationships among the indices and has used a hitherto empirically untested methodology to explore the causal relationships. Results show that capital market indices from European countries and the USA are not Granger caused by any index. On the other hand, causality effects are much pronounced in Asian capital markets. The capital market in Hong Kong "leads" the other markets in Asia. This learning would help fund managers in managing their exposure in Asian capital markets. The regulators may use the causality results to identify the markets driving movements in a country's capital market and take corrective measures.

Written by Maurice Obstfeld and Alan Taylor, Global Capital Markets: Integration, Crisis, and Growth was a much-needed book that will be cited extensively by those with interests in the long run evolution of the world financial capital market. The book does not simply assess changes in the efficiency of global capital markets over the past 150 years, but rather adds significantly to debates about instability and crisis, asymmetry between rich and poor countries in the costs of going open, the Lucas Paradox, the connections between foreign exchange and financial capital market regimes, and much more. The book makes far better use of the comparative evidence generated by the three epochs since 1850—the first global century before 1914, the second global century after 1950, and the autarchy in between—than do competitors that focus solely on one regime, whether the gold standard, post–World War II Breton Woods, or the float since. In addition, while the financial literature rarely assesses in any useful empirical way the connection between financial markets and the real economy, this book makes that connection absolutely clear. Global Capital Markets is a stimulating book with a very wide and deep reach.

The World Bank was founded to address what we would today call imperfections in international capital markets. Its founders thought that countries would borrow from the Bank temporarily until they grew enough to borrow commercially. Some critiques and analyses of the Bank are based on the assumption that this continues to be its role. For example, some argue that the growth of private capital flows to the developing world has rendered the Bank irrelevant. However, we will argue that modern analyses should proceed from the premise that the World Bank’s central goal is and should be to reduce extreme poverty, and that addressing failures in global capital markets is now of subsidiary importance. In this paper, we discuss what the Bank does: how it spends money, how it influences policy, and how it presents its mission. We argue that the role of the Bank is now best understood as facilitating international agreements to reduce poverty, and we examine implications of this perspective.

More than two decades after the beginning of the financial revolution globalization of capital flows still attracts considerable attention, from both practitioners and academics. The aim of this paper is to contribute to understanding of some aspects of the global capital scene, as well as to emphasize certain developments which might illustrate its changing profile. Several fundamental perspectives profile the global capital market. A quantitative review provides a sense of sheer volumes, trends, origins and destinations of capital flows; an assessment of the global capital market?s degree of integration follows. The emergence of new (types of) actors is another important aspect of the global processes, while illustrations of new market products and emerging segments may add new perspectives on the profile of the global capital market. Finally, the paper concludes with a brief overview of digitalization of the financial supply chain.

Abstract Subject and purpose of work: Cryptocurrencies are a phenomenon that has been strengthening its place in the world of finance for over ten years and which is becoming a frequent investment tool. The aim of this study is to compare the level of risk measures of investments in the cryptocurrency market with investments in global capital markets in 2011-2020. Materials and methods: The study used the quotations of the analysed instruments. The level of risk was estimated using standard deviation and semi-standard deviation of daily logarithmic rates of return. Results: Investment in cryptocurrencies is more risky than in shares of the largest international companies. The level of risk decreases with the duration of the cryptocurrency presence on the market. Conclusions: Achieving extraordinary rates of return generates an increased demand and volatility of cryptocurrencies’ quotations. The level of risk of investing in cryptocurrencies is much higher than in the indexes of global capital exchanges.
