This jargon-busting book describes how the bond and money markets
work and how they impact on everyday life. It assumes no
specialised prior knowledge of finance theory and provides an
authoritative and comprehensive run-down of the workings of the
modern financial system. It's in the money markets where money, or
the value of money, can be bought and sold. It's the place where
Treasury bills, deposits, repurchase agreements, short-lived
mortgages etc, can be traded. These are crucial to the global
economy because they provide liquidity funding for the global
financial system. Bond markets operate in the same way but are
financial markets where participants can issue new debt or buy and
sell existing debt - known as bonds. As with money markets, bond
markets are key because they provide money where no money
previously existed (think of your mortgage). Using real world
examples from media such as the Financial Times, bestselling author
Glen Arnold gives an international perspective on these markets.
