Global financial system

The global financial system (GFS) is a financial system consisting of institutions and rules that act on the international level, as distinct to those that act on a national or regional level. The main players are the global institutions, such as International Monetary Fund and Bank for International Settlements, national agencies and government departments, e.g., central banks and finance ministries, and private institutions acting on the global scale, e.g., banks and hedge funds.
