Description of International Money and Bond Markets

This text examines the opportunities for international investment through increasing deregulation in Europe and elsewhere. It studies the background to international investments and examines the role played by the Euromarkets. All aspects of the Euromarkets are covered: Eurobonds, Euro commercial paper, Euro notes (NIFs, RUFs, MTNs, etc), as well as innovations in the area of zero-coupon bonds, junk bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Terminology and yield calculations are explained. The book also examines the money and bond markets on a country basis concentrating principally on Europe, but also with sections on Australia, Canada, Japan and also the US.
