Abstract

The traditional definition of a national financial system is one subordinated to state regulation, in a state comprising a unified currency zone and with no restrictions upon the movement of capital within its borders. However, such a definition is no longer consistent with current realities. Nowadays the free movement of capital is no longer confined by national borders. Among the nations of the European Union, the movement of capital is completely free. Furthermore, among all the developed industrial nations of the world, and increasingly even among threshold nations and transforming nations, there presently exist hardly any restrictions upon capital movements. Moreover, in Europe the equivalence of currency zone and national territory has also ceased to be a practical reality.
