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 order to provide a global perspective,
aspects  of  the financial systems in a number of other countries  are
also examined.
