This is an introductory course on banking. It provides students with an understanding of microeconomic, macroeconomic and political aspects of banking and financial markets. An analysis of financial institutions/banks is further developed by the assessment of their activities and key associated risks including credit, liquidity, market, operational risks and other non-financial risks.
