The COVID-19 pandemic revealed critical vulnerabilities in global financial systems, emphasising the need for a thorough investigation into both immediate and long-term effects on financial markets. This publication examines these impacts across a spectrum of financial areas, from traditional markets to emerging sectors, exploring how the pandemic accelerated transformations like fintech adoption, digital finance, and green finance, while exposing new risk dynamics. It assesses shifts in market stability, risk appetite, and investment behaviours, offering a detailed analysis of sectoral disruptions in industries such as tourism, sports, banking, and retail. A thorough assessment of asset performance, including safe-haven assets, highlights the limitations of traditional diversification strategies during crises. The publication concludes with insights into the resilience of financial frameworks and proposes a series of critical adjustments to avert future market crises. This book is an essential guide for researchers, finance professionals, and policymakers looking to better understand and manage systemic risks in the evolving post-pandemic financial world.
