Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

One of the main risks faced by any organization today is financial risk. Likewise, in a globalized, interconnected world dependent on new technologies, the application of financial solutions has become a real necessity. Financial risk refers to the probability of a negative situation occurring, resulting in economic losses for a company—in other words, the occurrence of an event of uncertainty that hinders the return on an investment made by the company.

This Special Issue focuses on the reception of papers that provide solutions for analyzing, measuring, or managing financial risk in any business decision. Likewise, papers that contribute to the existing literature on global financial risk will be accepted. Within this last line of work, analyses of global financial risks, by sectors, by geographical areas or those produced by specific events will be taken into account.

In short, we invite original contributions in English that focus on issues related to financial management applied to business and solutions applied to global financial risk management. Theoretical papers that add value to the existing literature and make a contribution in their fields of study will also be considered.

Limited financial support for publication fees and proofreading is available to excellent submissions by authors without other sources of institutional funding. Please contact the editors of this Special Issue about the Article Processing Charges (APC) and possible reductions.

In recent years, after the global financial crisis, the issue of credit risk management has received increased attention from international regulators. Credit risk management frameworks are often not sufficiently integrated within the organization, there is no unified approach, and there is no holistic view of all risks. Likewise, where they exist, sound risk management practices have helped institutions to weather financial crises better than others. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the determinants of credit risk management and their relationship with the performance of commercial banks in Nepal. It also examines the mediating role of credit risk management on the performance of commercial banks in Nepal. The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between environmental risk and credit risk management. It is also found that credit appraisal measurements have a significant effect on credit risk management. The results reveal that market risk analysis has a significant effect on credit risk management. The results show that credit risk management mediates the relationship between environmental risk, credit appraisal measurements, market risk analysis, and the performance of commercial banks. Therefore, managers should strive to impart risk prevention and control mechanisms to reduce credit risk and achieve good financial performance. Full article

Cryptocurrencies are in high demand now due to their volatile and untraceable nature. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are just a few examples. This research seeks to identify deception and probable fraud in Ethereum transactional processes. We have developed this capability via ChaosNet, an Artificial Neural Network constructed using Generalized Luröth Series maps. Chaos has been objectively discovered in the brain at many spatiotemporal scales. Several synthetic neuronal simulations, including the Hindmarsh–Rose model, possess chaos, and individual brain neurons are known to display chaotic bursting phenomena. Although chaos is included in several Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), for instance, in Recursively Generating Neural Networks, no ANNs exist for classical tasks entirely made up of chaoticity. ChaosNet uses the chaotic GLS neurons’ property of topological transitivity to perform classification problems on pools of data with cutting-edge performance, lowering the necessary training sample count. This synthetic neural network can perform categorization tasks by gathering a definite amount of training data. ChaosNet utilizes some of the best traits of networks composed of biological neurons, which derive from the strong chaotic activity of individual neurons, to solve complex classification tasks on par with or better than standard Artificial Neural Networks. It has been shown to require much fewer training samples. This ability of ChaosNet has been well exploited for the objective of our research. Further, in this article, ChaosNet has been integrated with several well-known ML algorithms to cater to the purposes of this study. The results obtained are better than the generic results.
