OF LEARNING Many educational institutions today are focused on the notion of assurance of learning, an important element of some accreditation standards This eighth edition of Financial Institutions, Instruments and Markets is specifically created to support assurance of learning initiatives designed to draw on and expand key knowledge and skill sets required by graduates such as: communication, initiative and enterprise, self-management, life-long learning, problem solving, technology, teamwork, planning and organising.1 Chapter learning objectives and pedagogical features throughout the text are developed to directly relate to the learning outcomes for your course which may assist instructors in making the collection and presentation of assurance of learning data easier AACSB

number of tertiary institutions throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia, and by professionals within the financial services industry In this eighth edition, Dr Peter Phillips and myself continue to present a finance text for you that is authoritative and scholarly, which at the same time highlights the dynamic, exciting and global nature of financial institutions, instruments and markets The recent global financial crisis gradually became apparent from mid-2007 and had a significant adverse effect on the financial markets from 2008 As the crisis then rapidly evolved it led to an extended period of continuing financial market uncertainty and extreme volatility Major global financial institutions had to be bailed out by government or failed, sovereign debt in a number of countries reached unprecedented levels, economic activity slowed significantly and unemployment rose to very high levels, particularly in the USA and a number of European countries The nature and contagion effects of this evolving global financial crisis are discussed in detail in various chapters of the book Within this context, it is important that the eighth edition should encourage new generations of students and industry practitioners to understand, anticipate and challenge the complex and rapidly evolving structure of the financial system As argued by Nobel Laureate and leading economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz, effective financial market regulation within the context of the integrated global financial markets is required to mitigate future financial crises Interestingly, the government initiated a review of the Australian financial system in 1997 (the Wallis Report) In part, structural and regulatory change that was implemented as a result of that report ensured the Australian financial system came through the global financial crisis relatively unscathed The government has currently commissioned a new review of the system (the Murray Report) The final report is due at the end of 2014 and hopefully the government and regulators will act upon its recommendations of the report to ensure the financial system is made even more efficient and robust One thing is certain, change will occur As students of the financial system you must keep yourself informed about the structure and operation of financial institutions, instruments and markets Importantly, you must think about and anticipate future directions and change When, as a young boy of sixteen I began working in the industry, it was the time of pounds, shillings and pence I was required to record all transactions using a nib pen dipped in ink Daily, weekly, monthly and annual statements were added in my head It was an exciting day when we received a mechanical adding machine—its dimensions were 300×400×200 mm and it could only add, subtract, multiply and divide I had to pull a large handle to input each entry into the machine There has been unbelievable change to the insulated environment of those days In particular, there has been significant deregulation of the financial markets, the development of electronic information and product delivery systems, new and sophisticated financial products, the integration of domestic financial systems into a global financial system and, from time to time, major financial and economic crises To remain relevant in business and finance you must continue to educate yourself and those for whom you may be responsible in the future You must read the daily press and periodic financial journals to keep yourself up to date I suggest you add notations of current and proposed future changes to the financial system to your personal copy of this book This is not a text that you will sell at the end of a particular unit of study, but rather is an important reference that you should continue to use for further studies and on into your professional career I have enjoyed my career working in and teaching about the financial system I encourage you to accept every opportunity that comes your way and I wish you the best of success CH R I S T O P H E R VI N E Y http://textflow.mheducation.com/parser.php?secload=0.4&fake&print 1/1

Phillips, has joined Chris in writing the seventh and eighth editions P E T E R P H I L L I P S has been teaching economics and finance at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) in Toowoomba,
