~~119,25€~~ 107,33€ 10% OFF

125,88€ + 10% CARD

 <p>Financial institutions are facing unprecedented challenges brought on by the coronavirus Pandemic, less than a decade after recovering from the Global Financial Crisis and the Eurozone debt crisis. The causes of these challenges differ greatly from the previous crises that financial institutions, to a large extent, had contributed to.

The inevitable future introduction of digital currencies that could replace national currencies in many business transactions has the potential to fundamentally change the business models of financial institutions and how the financial system functions. Volume 22, <em>Fintech, Pandemic, and the Financial System</em>, examines systemic challenges faced by a wide range of financial market participants and the continued disruptions introduced by financial innovations (Fintech).</p><p><em>International Finance Review</em> publishes theme-oriented volumes on various issues in international finance, such as international business finance, international investment and capital markets, global risk management, international corporate governance and institution, currency markets, emerging market finance, international economic integration, and related issues.</p>
