ABSTRACT

Financial crises are complex phenomena arising from the horizontal and vertical effects of extreme fragilities and unexpected shocks in economic systems. Such crises negatively impact multifaceted economic activities by causing sudden and large-scale value losses in financial markets. The fundamental dynamics of crises include the continuous accumulation of risk in the pre-crisis period, intensifying liquidity pressures in the markets, and an increase in speculative movements . The factors triggering this situation can be expanded to include many factors that cause fluctuations, uncertainties, and unpredictability in the markets. In particular, the increasing risks and liquidity constraints faced by financial institutions deepen systemic fragilities, facilitating the rapid spread and contagion of crises. During this process, market pricing and investor confidence are rapidly undermined, leading to negative effects on economic growth and paving the way for rising unemployment rates. Consequently, financial crises are not limited to the financial sector but can have widespread negative consequences for the real sector and society at large. In this context, increased market volatility, growing uncertainty and heightened financial fragility necessitate effective, timely and coordinated regulatory interventions to mitigate crises and reduce their impact.
