Labour market reforms have been initiated to increase wages for the low paid but will need to be implemented cautiously to minimise potential adverse effects. Substantial planned increases in bank capital requirements should reduce the expected costs of financial crises but might reduce economic activity.

The global economy is undergoing profound shifts, powered by technological advancements and financial innovations, reshaping the role of finance in ways we've never seen before. As these forces reshape the world of finance, it becomes increasingly essential for academic scholars, practitioners, and future finance professionals to stay ahead of the curve, understanding the latest developments and trends. The problem is that finance education and practice often struggle to keep pace with these transformative changes. Standard textbooks and curricula tend to lag behind advancements in the field, leaving aspiring accountants and finance practitioners ill-prepared to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the modern financial world. Additionally, there is a gap between academic research and practical applications, making it difficult for scholars to bridge the divide and offer real-world solutions. Contemporary Research and Practices for Promoting Financial Literacy and Sustainability presents a comprehensive solution to these challenges. It serves as a beacon of knowledge, bringing together classical finance topics and the latest developments, ensuring that future accountants and finance professionals are equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the reshaped financial landscape. By integrating contemporary research into finance teaching, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering innate insights into theoretical concepts and their practical applications.
