The global financial network is the interconnected system of institutions, markets, and infrastructure that facilitates money and asset movement worldwide. This term describes the vast, interconnected ecosystem comprising banks, investment firms, exchanges, payment processors, and regulatory bodies that collectively enable cross-border capital flows, trading, and financial services. It includes traditional systems like SWIFT and modern digital payment rails, forming the backbone of international commerce and investment. The network’s efficiency and security are critical for global economic stability.
