What is a Financial Institution? - Investopedia

Poison pill, when a company issues more shares to prevent being bought out by another company, thereby increasing the number of outstanding shares to be bought by the hostile company making the bid to establish majority. The key areas of the syllabus examined are that of the role and functioning of the domestic and global financial system, the role of the non-deposit financial institutions such as investment trusts, unit trusts, the insurance industry and pension funds; as well as introduces students to the role and functioning of the markets within which the financial institutions/intermediaries operate, such as the money market, the bond market, the Eurocurrency markets, the equity market and the markets for derivative instruments. Finally, the module concludes with the examination of prior global and domestic financial crises.

That entails conducting diagnostic exercises to measure physical risks and transition risks, and carrying out climate-risk stress-testing for the banking and corporate sectors, when needed. Perhaps the most likely outcome is somewhere in-between the “best case” scenario and the “worst case” scenario: where we delay — either through inertia or inattention — making the difficult choices that we know we must make, sooner or later. All these continuing trends will interact in profound ways — and they will need careful management. The fact that these trends are happening at the same time — and that they will interact and influence each other—makes sound management and good governance all the more important.

The increasing number of large global corporations is also likely to present new challenges for policymaking across various areas, such as taxation, regulation, the provision of services and market power.
