Overview
Financial Institutions and Markets focuses on the operation of Australia’s financial system. Thoroughly updated, this eighth edition retains the structure of the seventh edition, examining the financial system’s three main functions: settlement, flow-of-funds and risk transfer. The book provides a comprehensive and comprehensible integrated account of the activities of Australia’s financial institutions and markets – and their instruments – including the major capital and foreign exchange markets, and the markets for derivatives. This new edition is complemented by digital resources on the MindTap online platform - also enabling flipped delivery of the content, expanded learning objectives, and updated case studies and research to cover recent events such as Brexit.
