| Course Description | This course provides an introduction to the institutions, markets and securities that form the basis of modern financial and monetary systems. It also introduces some of the main theories and quantitative concepts and methods used in finance. Different economies and their financial systems will be analysed and similarities and differences between them will be discussed. The aim is to use the Australian system as an example, and to emphasize those characteristics that Australia has in common with other modern financial systems around the world. It provides a sound basis for students progressing to the study of finance at higher levels within the University, and at the same time is a valuable, self contained and up-to-date overview of international financial markets and institutions for non-specialists. |
