About this lesson
This lesson covers the key functions of these markets—raising capital, promoting financial development, and maintaining stability—before exploring real-world challenges including the 2008 credit crunch, dark pool trading systems, and money laundering. You'll see how subprime mortgages and collateralised debt obligations triggered a global recession, how unregulated trading can reduce market efficiency, and why financial institutions now face strict compliance responsibilities. The session concludes with current macroeconomic factors affecting international trade, including inflation, labour market pressures, and rising interest rates. This content is relevant to your Financial Reporting and Strategic Business Leader studies, where understanding global financial systems and their risks directly supports case study analysis and strategic decision-making in real business contexts.
