Money and Banking Concepts
Designed for
Post-Secondary Education

In any economy in the world, the Banking and Finance sector always plays an extremely critical role. It is the regulated platform for the government to conduct its all‐important monetary policy; for consumers to save and invest their unconsumed income safely under legal protection; and for business enterprises to borrow funds to finance capital accumulation in support of growth of the overall economy. As a result, every one of us is affected directly or indirectly by the development and changes that are taking place in the Banking and Finance industry. This influence extends way beyond the national boundary in view of the never‐ending globalization of the world economy. Even if you are currently employed outside the banking and finance sector, the tremendous opportunities in terms of jobs and personal investment are simply too great to be ignored. Anyone who understands Economics, Banking, Accounting and Finance is therefore effectively insured for alternative job employment when the need arises and most prepared to capitalize on investment opportunity especially during an economic crisis.
