The scale of the importance of financial derivatives can be judged by many indicators, including: extremely fast and versatile development; the sum of outstanding positions in derivatives, which transitory value exceeds from 6 to 10 times the gross annual production of all economies in the world; the attractive income opportunities and unique techniques for risk management. In the same time, there are extreme opinions in which the financial derivatives are blamed for the global financial crisis and huge losses of various types of market players. The present study attempts to find and outline the real importance of financial derivatives for investment activity and global economy in the period from the beginning of financial crisis and the subsequent economic recession. Analyzed manifestations of financial derivatives in key events in recent years have shown their crucial role in „early diagnosing” of the global economic crisis, and their positive impact on capital market and indirect support to real economic sectors in a phase of recession. The methodology includes correlation study between derivatives, stock market and macroeconomic indicators.
