Analyses the transformations typical of financial globalization which have occurred in the financial markets over the past 25 years. Argues that banking crises arise when the active management of balances encounters currency mismatch problems; when credit is concentrated in certain sectors (for example, oil or real estate) or companies; when real interest rates are high during periods of lower economic growth; when leverage levels are high as a result of rapid privatizations or takeovers; or when there is a combination of these factors.

Index providers are important participants of the contemporary global financial market. This group comprises of diverse entities – e.g. stock exchanges, financial institutions (particularly banks and asset management companies), analytical and research companies as well as financial data providers. The role of index providers increases primarily along with systematically growing importance of index investment instruments. Their decisions significantly affect the allocation of capital, mainly on a microeconomic and macroeconomic scale.

Analyzes the transformations typical of financial globalization that have occurred in the financial markets over the past 25 years & argues that banking crises arise when (1) the active management of balances encounters currency mismatch problems; (2) credit is concentrated in certain sectors (eg, oil & real estate) or companies; (3) real interest rates are high during periods of lower economic growth; (4) leverage levels are high as a result of rapid privatizations or takeovers; or (5) there is a combination of these factors. In the context of freedom of capital movement, the heavy concentration of sources of national & international liquidity in the hands of private operators has not led to a recovery in development financing, but instead promotes a new level of competition & denationalization on the part of development-financing systems. This strengthens conditions favoring the transfer of locally generated savings toward the return to be obtained from very short-term capital with high expected yields. At the same time, it fails to solve the problems of financial fragility caused by the differential between the return on these flows & increases in local productivity & profitability, the result being continual bankruptcies & liquidations of financial intermediaries. Stressed in conclusion is the importance of state monetary & credit management in bringing about a stable relationship between growth & interest rates. 17 References. Adapted from the source document.
