Content: | Students will acquire basic knowledge about the meaning and structure of international financial markets. The investment and financing instruments issued and traded on the financial markets are presented and explained in detail. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of foreign exchange markets, as well as to the transactions and practices observed on them. Based on this, the methods for hedging currency risk are discussed. An important topic in this context is the use of modern derivative financial instruments. The application of the instruments shown and the functional areas of international corporate finance management are practiced on the basis of case studies and in group work. |
