Current issues in banking and financial management in the context of the global economy

Abstract

The paper examines key issues in banking and financial management within the context of the global economy. Particular attention is paid to the influence of globalization, technological innovation, and macroeconomic uncertainty. The study highlights the dual role of globalization as both a driver of financial integration and a source of systemic risk. It also discusses the impact of fintech developments, digital banking, and blockchain on financial operations, noting both opportunities and cybersecurity threats. High inflation and geopolitical instability are identified as major challenges to financial stability in emerging markets. The paper concludes that effective banking and financial management remains a vital element of sustainable economic growth and resilience in a rapidly changing global landscape.
