Synopsis

This  unit  examines the structure, operation and performance  of  the
Australian financial system using principles of financial and monetary
economics.  Students  are  introduced  to  a  selection  of  financial
markets,  products and institutions, the operations of  which  largely
determine  key financial variables that affect decisions to  save  and
invest  in  the real economy. In addition, students are encouraged  to
pursue  special  studies of issues and aspects  of  financial  markets
which interest them.
