systemic-volatility
/sɪˌstɛm.ɪk ˌvɒl.əˈtɪl.ɪ.ti/ IELTSAcademic
noun
Systemic volatility is a situation where instability is built into a whole system, so changes and shocks happen often and affect many parts at once.
- The market showed systemic volatility after the policy change.
- Systemic volatility can spread through the entire economy.
- The report warned of systemic volatility in the banking sector.
Adinary Nuance
Systemic volatility is not just ordinary volatility. It suggests the instability comes from the structure of the whole system, not from one small event. Writers choose it when they want to stress a deep, widespread problem rather than a short-term fluctuation. It is closer to systemic risk than to simple market ups and downs.
