The book will provide the readers with a coherent understanding of the banking environment
and equip them with tangible skills required in order to succeed in this and other sectors
of the financial markets. The book will include 1) a tangible link between the
economic function of the bank and its management; 2) how the bank creates
markets and creates securities; 3) a link between the regulations and financial
operations and an understanding of how these two are intricately entwined in
financial institutions; 4) a recognition of the evolving nature of financial
institutions, including some of the less glamorous, but still critical,
business lines.
