Summary/Abstract: The financial environment has undergone a profound transformation in the context of globalization, financial flows of scale, diversification of financial instruments, increasing interdeperndence of national financial markets, being of critical importance. However, while global financial markets play a crucial role in the distribution of global capital, they do so in a way that can have profound negative implications. This paper tries to demonstrate that, globalization is capable of causing instability in the whole world, enabling broad crises, and, not least, increasing the danger of recession in the world, based on the manifestation of the global systemic risk. Knowing the risks and distortions that can affect the stability of the financial sector in the context of financial globalizaton, as well as their consequences, is especially important for the design of the regulation and surveillance process, plus for the formulation of crisis remedial and prevention actions.
