This course sets out to develop your understanding of international banking and monetary institutions and the world?s financial architecture. Using the basic economics of banking, the course explores a variety of current issues, including: the role of the new Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority (IFSRA); how banking and currency crises have occurred around the world since the 1990s; the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF); and why the European Central Bank (ECB) is considering a change in its monetary policy.
