Download or read book International Finance written by Felix I. Lessambo and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-03-07 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landscape of international finance has drastically changed within the last decade. The institutions inherited from the Bretton-Woods conference—the IMF and the WBD— have become obsolete, in part, due to their lack of reforming. Meanwhile newly created institutions including The New Development Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank are increasing their sphere of influence. Developing countries from Africa, Asia, and Latin America are more eager than ever to work with the NDB or the AIIB. Meanwhile, new players such as Sovereign Wealth Funds are reshaping financial markets, through their weights and influence in global markets. The book looks to enhance understanding of the real markets of international finance and proposes ways to bring the old and new players together in this sand-shifting world of international finance.
Download or read book First Time International Bond Issuance New Opportunities and Emerging Risks written by Ms.Anastasia Guscina and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International bond issuance by debut issuers has risen in recent years. The uptick was a result of both demand and supply factors. The search for yield and demand for portfolio diversification have resulted in demand-driven easy financing conditions. At the same time, rising financing needs for many debut issuers, coupled with reduced access to concessional financing, relatively undeveloped domestic markets, and a favorable interest rate environment have made international bonds an attractive financing alternative for many countries. As bonds issued in the international markets are typically denominated in hard currencies, have large volumes and a bullet structure, exposure to exchange rate and refinancing risk has increased. Therefore, risk-mitigating policy actions are needed to prepare for redemption, support debt sustainability, and secure adequate debt management capacity.

Download or read book The International Government Bond Markets written by Frank Joseph Jones and published by Irwin Professional Publishing. This book was released on 1992 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been an increased awareness of the international bond markets as potential sources of return enhancement and/or risk reduction. As a result, investors throughout the world have increasingly adopted a global approach and invested in bonds from several countries. Governments have encouraged this by liberalizing their bond markets, making them more liquid and more accessible to international investors. Futures and options markets have been developed on government bonds in several major countries, permitting more effective implementation of investment strategies. Many global investors restrict their participation in foreign bond markets to foreign government bonds because of their low credit risk and their liquidity. Because of their crucial role, The International Government Bond Markets by Frank J. Jones and Frank J. Fabozzi focuses on eight of the world's major government bond markets: the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. It is the first book that provides a single, unified, succinct source of information about these major government bond markets. The core information is supplemented by the treatment of several other topics of importance and interest to global bond investors. The book is divided into three sections: . Section I provides background information about price yield/conventions, accrued interest calculation, international clearing organizations and global custody. Section II describes the eight government bond markets in terms of: nature of the market (maturity, structure and types of issues); method of issuance (primary market); secondary market; price/yield conventions; settlement procedures; taxation; and futures and options markets. Section III discusses investment strategies, beginning with an overview of the foreign exchange market and instruments for controlling foreign exchange risk, and concluding with a general framework for designing an active global bond portfolio strategy.
Download or read book The Emerging Project Bond Market written by Mansoor Dailami and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence in the 1990s of a nascent project bond market to fund long-term infrastructure projects in developing countries merits attention. The authors compile detailed information on a sample of 105 bonds issued between January 1993 and March 2002 for financing infrastructure projects in developing countries, document their contractual covenants, and analyze their pricing determinants. They find that on average, project bonds are issued at approximately 300 basis points above U.S. Treasury securities, have a surprisingly high issue size of US$278 million, a maturity of slightly under 12 years, and are rated slightly below investment grade. In terms of geographic origin, projects in Asia and Latin America have issued more bonds than those located in other regions. Much of the recent work relating to the role of contractual covenants to the determination of bond prices has focused on the U.S. corporate bond market with its unique bankruptcy code - Chapter 11 - and well developed legal framework, recognizing the bond contract as the sole instrument of defining the rights and duties of various parties. In circumstances in which the underpinning legal and institutional frameworks governing contract formation and enforcement are not well developed, the link between bond pricing and legal framework becomes important. This finding is confirmed by the authors' econometric analysis of project bond pricing model. So, investors take into account the quality of the host country's legal framework and reward projects located in countries that adhere to the rule of law with tighter credit spreads and lower funding costs.
