Course Overview

An inclusive money market eco-system is one of the pre-conditions to stable capital markets and real economy development. In the absence thereof, financial intermediaries and financial markets will struggle to perform their core role of converting household savings into loans to SMEs, among others. This is especially the case in emerging markets and developing countries (EMDCs) where the financial sector is bank-centric and bond markets are under-developed.

Who should enrol?

The importance of money markets has grown dramatically following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). There is a strong common understanding that a solid foundation in money markets is a pre-condition to deep domestic capital markets that contribute to stable economic growth and poverty reduction. But what are the key functions, objectives, structures and interlinkages in a well-functioning money market.
