About the book:
Recently several noteworthy patterns were noted in the international financial markets. The global response to the COVID-19 epidemic, which at first caused increased volatility and disruptions across a variety of asset classes, was one important subject. In order to stabilise economies, central banks were crucial in enacting accommodating monetary policies, such as close to zero interest rates and extensive asset acquisition programmes. Investment decisions were also impacted by the growing interest in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, with a focus on sustainable and ethical investing. Furthermore, the emergence of digital currencies, particularly cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin attracted a lot of attention and sparked debates about how they should fit into the established financial system. Geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty between major economies, such as the United States and China, further affected market dynamics. The Indian financial market has also been exhibiting a number of significant patterns. Amidst the obstacles presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been employing diverse monetary measures to facilitate economic recovery. Retail engagement in the market surged, especially in the stock markets, as a result of greater accessibility via digital platforms. In addition, in an effort to increase investor confidence and draw in capital inflows, the Indian government has been implementing economic reforms, including as privatisation programmes and adjustments to FDI regulations. There were some difficulties facing the non-banking financial industry, including worries over asset quality and liquidity. With advancements in digital payments and financial technology solutions, the fintech industry kept growing. Understanding the most recent developments in Banking, Finance and Accounting is not only a matter of knowledge in an era characterised by quick changes and shifting paradigms, but it is also essential for negotiating the intricacies of the contemporary corporate environment. This book is a beacon of guidance, providing readers with a deep understanding of the state of the economy today, technological innovations, and the forces of transformation reshaping sectors around the globe.
