Sessional Lecturer - MMF1910H: Introduction to Financial Industry (Section LEC 0101)
About The Position
This course will introduce you to fundamental concepts inherent in financial systems. In order to discuss some of the most important concepts currently debated in finance, for example, “Main Street vs Wall Street”, Central Bank Digital Currencies/Stable Coins, etc., we firstly need to discover the connections between financial institutions and economic well-being. We will examine the critical role of healthy banks, efficient asset markets and monetary policy. We will examine how commercial banks operate, examine the sources from which banks acquire their funds and how they use the funds they acquire, as well as how assets and liabilities function within banks. Commercial banks facilitate borrowing and lending, which provide valuable services to each party. Once these fundamentals are introduced, we will explore stock market bubbles and how asymmetric information affects financial markets. All of these topics should set us up to understand and explore the impact of the recent market events like trade wars and a global pandemic on markets and other critical discussion topics.
