Does the globalization of financial markets increase the scope of potential systemic credit risk in the sphere of financial systems, including banking systems with particular focus on investment banking?

In the context of the development of international capital markets, the development of stock exchanges, increasingly globalized and related, the importance of globalization of financial markets, including capital markets and stock exchanges, is increasing.

On these capital markets, there are also increasingly large, internationally operating investment banks and investment funds, whose profits generate increasingly from speculative transactions of securities issued by companies and the public sector, including also Treasury bonds of other countries.

In addition, currency markets are growing, on which speculatively operating internecional banks and hedge investment and investment funds also speculatively. Before the emergence of the global financial crisis in 2008, it was mainly investment banking that approved the excessive levels of credit risk and speculative, too high, overvalued valuations of securities on stock exchanges.

The recent global financial crisis that appeared in autumn 2008 was an example of the increase in potential systemic credit risk in many countries in which the governments of these countries through the issue of government bonds and their sale to foreign investors led to a significant increase in the risk of a liquidity crisis in the state finances and in many smaller economies, they generated major crises in the debt of state finances.

Do you agree with my opinion?

Therefore, I am asking you the following questions:

- What impact does economic globalization have on the potential increase in systemic credit risk on a supranational scale?

- Does the globalization of financial markets and the development of growing global banks and investment funds increase the level of potential systemic credit risk, increase the risk of destablization on many capital markets and thus increases the likelihood of generating another global financial crisis?

- Does the globalization of financial markets increase the scope of potential systemic credit risk in the sphere of financial systems, including banking systems with particular focus on investment banking?
