Message of Greeting | The visible hand of geopolitics

In the sphere of global finance, the term „geopolitics“ has transitioned from relative obscurity to occupying a prominent position within financial discourse. Its emergence was notably catalysed by the 2008 financial crisis, which precipitated an array of government regulatory interventions, thus reshaping the foundations of the preexisting financial order. These interventions, exemplified by the Dodd-Frank Act in the United States and the extensive regulatory measures undertaken by the European Union – later consolidated under the Banking Union (EBU) – alongside the advent of the Basel III regime, underscored the permeable boundary between the realms of politics and finance.
