Program Objective

Financial markets are the mainstay of matured and emerging economies; however, banks invariably play a crucial role as investors, issuers and market makers for providing depth and liquidity in the financial markets across jurisdictions. Again, the Government crafts the public policy framework and the financial regulators put in place a range of regulations on processes, products and players to ensure that markets operate in a safe and sound manner and the interests of all participants are protected.

This uniquely designed CAFRAL Program on Financial Markets provides capsuled learning for the economist, regulators and bankers in an interactive and cross learning mode. Practical exposures to market operations, products, players and infrastructure combined with insightful discussion on the economy in general and financial sector in particular is the hallmark of this program. This Program will also serve as an induction for senior officers in regulatory organisations, banks and financial institutions who have recently moved to market related areas. Coverage of the Program will include:

•  An overview of the money, debt, forex, capital markets and the related derivatives markets
