  4. Wildrik de Blank comments on the effect of Financial Strategy on Business: The fluidity of Financial Markets can allow companies to flourish, creating access to a range of debt and equity instruments, supporting growth when spent or invested wisely. It also produces ample employment opportunities and a range of stakeholder access points contributing to a broader business platform.Financial markets can also cause damage when markets decline and head winds arise.

  5. Only those firms that prepare for head winds well in advance tend to do better during a recession and outperform thereafter. The key is to stay nimble, deleverage in time and maintain strong cash liquidity. Wildrikde Blank states that the main purpose of financial markets is to bring individuals/entities together so that cash can circulate where it is required most. Amongst others he says it will end up facilitating international trade.

  6. Wildrik de Blank refers to today’s financial markets as a platform uniting people and allowing efficient flow of money to where it is most needed. Cash is the chief component that helps in maintaining financial equilibrium. It promotes the growth and development of economies and in mobilizing funds, investors will choose financials instruments according to their risk assessment. Prices are set as per demand and supply and the relative instrument will typically be highly liquid, allowing conversion to cash in a short period of time. Financial markets should also have easy access to participants to make them work efficiently. Wildrik de Blank
