Introduction
The world has always been in a constant state of change. People have
been pressed to make a major choice between being part of or resisting to
change. They have often tended to take the easier path in a disillusion that
they can prevent change rather than taking the challenging course of changing. In the past, such changes have gone beyond the lifetime of an
individual. A good example may be electricity. It took many years after its

invention to ensure that it is widely used. However, the digital transformation of the last 20 years marks a magnitude of change which
would span thousands of years in the past. It is safe to say that this is just
the beginning and there is so much more to come.
The technology shift of the recent years had a destructive and creative
impact on economy, business life, social life and everything else. This impact had its toll also on the finance industry, even in the form of reshaping it. The industry as a whole as well as the economy and financial
processes were affected by the developments in financial technologies, blockchain applications, cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. These

introduced and accepted by the business community and the people. This
resulted with certain positive outcomes but also highlighted certain structural problems in the financial and political system. This paper focuses
on the change and transformation in the financial systems and institutions
triggered by the pandemic as well as possible trends in the future.

the financial system, institutions, tools and markets. After 2000, we experienced more connections between national economies and industries,
macroeconomic instabilities and a process of globalization which resulted
with more competition in the local and global markets. The finance industry had a major role in these developments. The major areas affected
by the transportation include the organization of financial institutions, operating mechanisms of financial markets, new financial tools and financial technologies (Fintech)...
