Course Summary
As the modern world develops and new technologies arise, the methods of financial transactions are ever-changing. While traditional money markets, foreign exchange, and global banking processes remained straightforward, the era of digitalisation has caused a significant shift in consumer and organisation demands.
To navigate money markets and global banking effectively, those involved must be competent in financial policies, FOREX transactions, and swap markets. They must also be highly aware of associated risks. Finance will always have potential major and minor risks, which must be assessed and minimised through preventative and mitigation measures.
With the online world becoming incredibly vast, there has been a rise in purely digital currencies, such as Bitcoin. These cryptocurrencies come with their own markets, exchange rates, policies and risks. It is crucial to understand cryptocurrencies comprehensively to better prepare for their involvement in money markets and FOREX transactions and predict how they will become further entwined in daily functions.

- Understand the importance of money markets, FOREX, and global banking.
