Thoroughly updated, this new sixth edition of Financial
Institutions and Markets focuses on Australia’s financial system,
while retaining the structure of the successful fifth edition. It
examines the financial system’s three main functions –
settlement, flow-of-funds and risk transfer – and provides a
clear and comprehensive integrated account of the activities of
Australia’s financial institutions and markets, including the
risks they face and the instruments they use. As well, the major
capital and foreign exchange markets and the markets for
derivatives (and their use as hedging instruments) are discussed.
This new 6th edition covers recent financial innovations, such as
high-frequency trading in the share market and APRA’s adoption of
Basel II (and Basel III) – an explanation of how the RBA assesses
the financial system’s stability. It also includes new
‘Industry Insights’ and ‘Practical Applications’ that
illustrate specific topics, such as the role of margin loans and
short selling in the demise of ABC Learning. The main update for
this new edition has been the development of ‘Lessons from the
GFC’ that are designed to complement the book’s explanations of
a range of topics, such as the use of leverage, lending for
housing, securitisation, the role of the inter-bank market, the
pricing of risk in bond markets and the role of speculation in the
market for Australian dollar.
