Synopsis

This  unit  examines  the  structure,  operation  and  performance  of
Australian  financial and securities markets. Students are  introduced
to a selection of financial markets, the institutions and participants
within these markets, and the products on offer from institutions  and
companies.  Basic  financial maths is also introduced  to  enable  the
understanding of the various products and services available.  All  of
these  features,  when combined, will assist in  determining  the  key
financial  variables that affect decisions to save and invest  in  the
economy.
