Introduction

This unit will provide you with the skills necessary to understand and address some of the multi-faceted issues of international financial management, with a focus on understanding exchange rate behaviour, factors influencing exchange rates, forecasting and managing exchange rate risk. Techniques will be studied and applied from various fields including financial management, macroeconomics, corporate finance and investment theory.
