This subject was previously titled &#39; Principles of Finance&#39; .Finance is a discipline that deals with the sources and uses of money by individuals, businesses and governments.

We will study the analytical tools employed by investment, lending and market professionals. Real world examples from local and global markets provide a thorough introduction to different dimensions of financial market and how participants make financial decisions.
