Syllabus:	This unit deals with selective issues of international risk and international risk management faced by businesses and banks operating in a global market place. There is a particular focus on aspects of country risk, foreign exchange risk and credit risk. A theoretical and conceptual basis is introduced, along with consideration of practical, market-based measures which are available to assess and manage the risks involved. The evolution of the international monetary system and the globalization of financial services (emphasising international banking and offshore financial markets) provide the context for the study of risk. Recent developments in international financial markets are considered, including problems in banking systems in the East Asian region.
