Financial markets are constantly changing. They tend to lower transaction costs, increase the speed of transactions and find new instruments that will meet the needs of the most demanding market participants. In recent years, the financial markets have changed significantly due to the global financial crisis. Regulatory authorities and financial institutions themselves require more transparent, fair, and prudent actions from all market participants. New regulatory requirements attempt to restore confidence in the stability of financial institutions and markets.
