Financial markets facilitate allocation of financial resources to productive activities for the benefit of society. Financial institutions provide the institutional framework for markets by performing essential intermediation and distribution functions. The main objectives of this course are to enable participants to understand the organisation and methods of financial markets, such as money markets and capital markets, as well as the various institutions and instruments constituting these markets, both in domestic and global contexts. The course design will include theoretical foundations, descriptive understandings and skill development, enabling participants to acquire the management capabilities required in the institutions comprising such systems.
