SOME LESS DESIRABLE EFFECTS REGARDING THE CURRENT USE OF DERIVATIVES

Luiza Mădălina Apostol

Abstract


Derivative financial instrument were created with the purpose of allocating risks in an optimal manner and for promoting market efficiency, but their practical development poses a number of problems: derivatives have fuelled the volatility of the underlying assets, being regularly individualized as speculative instruments. The ambivalence of derivatives raises the thorny question of the control of their use. The 2007 financial crisis placed at the centre of attention the importance of the OTC markets of compensated and uncompensated derivative products and their economic value for companies and investors for the control of the financing risk and the risk of investments in financial markets.


Keywords
