FOREIGN EXCHANGE
This course explains the functions, products, and workings of the foreign exchange (FX) market, the most liquid capital market in the world. Every day, trillions of dollars’ worth of currency flows through this market. The spot market and its dealers are at the heart of this activity, but there is also an important market for forward trading.
Course Objectives
Every second of the day the value of currencies changes, driven by global trade, investment, and speculation. This is a world with its own jargon, where bulls and bears fight for control, where a “yard” is a billion, and “cable” is an exchange rate between two of the most active currencies. In line with the latest Central Bank of Egypt Instructions to banks dated October 27th, 2022, with regards to allowing banks to conduct FX Forwards, FX swaps, and non-deliverable Forwards (NDFs) transactions, the below eLearning course equips the Egyptian bankers with the needed knowledge to understand the Foreign Exchange Business.
