Global finance is defined as the international framework of economies, regulations, and financial institutions and how these things interact with each other. Global finance covers a range of topics such as financial regulations, exchange rates, investments, trading, and other important topics associated with international financial management.
Benefits and Risks of a Global Financial System
Global financial systems facilitate the transfer of finances across borders enabling finance productive investments and promoting growth, job creation, and portfolio diversification. While it took economies over a decade to recover from the 2008 crisis, we seemed to fare slightly better through the COVID-19 pandemic.
We did see record levels of market volatility and growing concern around credit losses, but the global financial system also served as a source of strength – with monetary support for businesses and households in most economies. Financial institutions, governments, private companies, investors, and other finance professionals worked quickly and diligently to avoid a repeat of 2008
