Financial Markets and Institutions Term 5 Format: 1925 word or 2200-word critical review (plus 10%) About a decade ago the global community became aware of Bitcoin (i.e. cryptocurrency) enabling the transaction of digital currency as a medium of exchange without the need for central banks.

Throughout its history, Bitcoin has attracted attention from central bankers, investors, politicians, economists, media and public across a range of topics (e.g. financial stability, monetary policy, payments, market infrastructures and risks). Interestingly, despite the development of cryptocurrencies to help address some of the concerns associated with Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies are not yet operating as money in the Australian economy.

The article below published by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) sheds some light on this discussion. Dark, C, Emery D, Ma, J & Noone, C 2019, ‘Cryptocurrency: ten years on’, Bulletin, Reserve Bank of Australia, June, pp. 195-214. Based on the background above, and theories presented in the subject, write a report addressing the following questions:

a. Identify and briefly discuss the market risks attached to cryptocurrencies and their effect on the value of financial securities.

b. From a Central Banker’s perspective, briefly outline the concerns posed by cryptocurrencies to the financial system in your selected country.

You are a new city council person for the City of Columbia, Missouri. You are aware that several cities have been in the news recently because of the financial crises they have faced.

The governing bodies have been criticized for not being aware of the negative signals and trends that obviously contributed to challenging financial situations. Although you were assured at the first few council meetings that the city was overall in good financial shape, you want to be sure you “do your homework” and assess the financial condition of the city for yourself.

You know that the City of Columbia prepares a Financial Trends to report each year based on the ICMA’s Financial Trends Monitoring System and that it posts this on its Web site at www.gocolumbiamo.com Prepare a 550-word memo assessing the financial conditions of the city for yourself. Review a copy of the Financial Trends report on the city’s website. Hint: Once at the Web site, click on City Government and you will find financial reports.

The trend report can be accessed by clicking on Financial Reports. Examine the trend information and make a list of any indicators that are negative. Prepare a list of questions for the next city council meeting. (Your questions should help you focus on whether you and the other council members should be concerned about any trends).
