👉 A financial weapon is a tool or strategy used by entities, such as governments, corporations, or financial institutions, to exert economic pressure or influence on other parties by manipulating financial markets, currencies, or assets. This can involve actions like issuing bonds at artificially low interest rates to stimulate borrowing and spending, engaging in currency manipulation to gain trade advantages, or using derivatives to create market volatility. Financial weapons can also include sanctions, embargoes, or other economic penalties designed to compel a change in behavior from the targeted entity. The goal is often to achieve specific political, economic, or social objectives without resorting to direct military conflict.
