Nuclear Finance: Bank Management in Disruption - Paperback

by Anders Kjellman (Author), Taisto Kangas (Author), Risto Tainio (Author)

It was a time when banks were expanding and then surprisingly exploding. Disruptions like Bitcoin, payment platforms, fraud and nuclear war can fast cause a chain reaction like a devastating nuclear bomb. The banking sector is changing, due to negative interest rates, disruptive financial innovations and technology. It was the beginning of the Age of Nuclear Finance. The Global Financial Crisis followed in the footsteps of the creation of the US shadow bank market that exploded with the default of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The coronavirus, COVID-19, also emerged unexpectedly in 2020 and exploded, sending shock waves all over the world. It was difficult to understand what really happened afterwards. And the next nuclear bomb is waiting around the corner. One thing for sure is that banking will never be the same again.

The purpose of this book is to analyse and provide guidelines on how bank managers and customers can adapt to the challenges being faced during the fourth industrial revolution. There has never been so much money, nor regulation around.
