Understanding South African Financial Markets – 9780627042737

Description

By global standards, South African financial markets are well developed, with mature, resilient and stable financial market infrastructures and financial institutions. In addition South Africa has independent regulatory authorities and policymakers that are targeting a financial sector regulatory framework that complies with international good practice. Understanding South African financial markets provides a clear, well-structured guide to South Africa’s dynamic and sophisticated financial market environment, comprehensively dealing with many complex topics and striving to bring the reader up to speed with the latest financial market developments. Understanding South African financial markets has been compiled by practitioners from the financial markets and experienced faculty members in economics and financial management. Jargon that may be unfamiliar is explained in lay terms, and both international and local market practices and norms are discussed where relevant. Understanding South African financial markets is an introductory resource to a complex topic that should serve as a useful reference and guide for commerce students, public servants, investors, speculators and members of the business fraternity.
