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.
