Financial and Economic Systems:Transformations and New Challenges

Edited by Zied Ftiti (), Hachmi Ben Ameur and Waël Louhichi

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: In the last twenty years, several periods of turmoil have shaped the financial and economic system. Many regulatory policies, such as Basel III, have been introduced to overcome further crises and scandals. In addition, monetary policy has experienced a transition from conventional to unconventional frameworks in most industrialized and emerging economies. For instance, turning to hedge and diversification of portfolios, commodities markets have attracted increasing interest. More recently, new forms of money have been introduced, such as virtual money. These changes have influenced governance features at both macro and micro levels. Therefore, calls for ethical and sustainable standards in financial and economic spheres have been growing since 2007.
