AN URGENT NEED FOR THE “FINE TUNE” OF FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Abstract
Financial derivative instruments, which were initially designed to hedge currency risks and thus to prevent financial instability after the collapse of the Bretton-Woods System, exposed, particularly, developing economies to remarkable risks and financial instabilities in the 1990s, and they played a much greater role than previously estimated in the international financial crises. Recent global financial crisis of 2008, once more time, indicated that they have huge potential to be dangerous for even developed economies. However, their potential role in creating instabilities in financial systems were ignored or underestimated by the dominant “neo-liberal” perspective which have wanted to shape the world economy in a pure financial liberalization approach rather than financial regulation. In this respect, the paper aims to analyze and discuss the proposed policies about the financial regulation of financial derivatives in order to put what should be done for a “win-win” solution since there can be two extremely different points of view about them.
