Description

Financial systems are being reshaped simultaneously by economic disruption, rapid technological change, and shifting investor expectations. This edited volume brings together twenty contributions examining how pandemics, geopolitical shocks, and regulatory shifts are testing the resilience of markets and institutions worldwide. It offers a structured account of how artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital currencies are altering traditional financial models, and how banks, investors, and policymakers are adapting in response.

The book is organized in two parts: the first traces innovations reshaping market dynamics, from machine learning-driven trading and fintech adoption to digital currency regulation and socially responsible investing; the second turns to the evolving banking landscape, covering bank resilience, service quality, mergers and acquisitions, and cross-country comparisons of digital banking frameworks. Each chapter draws on empirical research and case evidence from emerging and established markets, with particular depth on the Indian financial system alongside broader global comparisons.

Sustainability runs throughout the volume, with dedicated analysis of ESG considerations and responsible investment practices as they move from peripheral concern to central strategic priority. The result is a resource for readers who need to understand where financial systems are heading, not just where they have been.
