Discussion Problem: International Financial Markets
International financial markets allow companies to exchange currencies and to acquire funding. If a company cannot obtain financing in its own country, the company may be able to get financing in an international market. The price of such financing fluctuates and is determined by supply and demand. This fluctuation is highly dependent upon exchange rates or the rate of conversion from one currency to another. For example, a USA based company that is operating in Japan would convert dollars to yen. This exchange rate fluctuates or goes up and down. International business people track currency rates and values over time since these fluctuations impact profitability.
Consider and discuss the following questions regarding international finance and business:
•Some people believe that we must have a truly global capital or financial market in order to maximize business ventures and profit. What factors do you think are holding back the creation of a truly global capital market?
•How might a truly global capital market function differently from the current international business market? (Consider interest rates, currencies, regulations and financial crises experienced in some countries.)
•Having to use different currencies in international business prevents maximum growth and activity. What are the pros and cons (for both businesses and governments) or replacing national currencies with a regional or even a global currency?
•If we do go to a global or international monetary system, would such an international system use a floating or fixed exchange rate? Explain your answer. Would it be possible to base an international currency on gold? Why or why not?
•Is there a need for regulation among international financial centers to control money laundering and other illegal activities?
