In the wake of the 2007-2009 credit crisis, that is no longer the case. Credit and credit risk are now of crucial concern throughout the banking sector and the financial markets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut, as expert Biagio Mazzi explains, any practical knowledge of credit and debt must be rooted in a thorough understanding of where credit originates: i.e., in treasuries--or more specifically, the point at which a borrowing entity, such as a corporation, bank, or sovereign nation, decides to raise capital through its treasury or debt management operation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhich is why it is so surprising that, until now, there were no books devoted to the impact of the treasury desk on the pricing and valuation of financial instruments. This book fills that gap in the literature, offering a formal, yet highly accessible overview of the structure and function of treasuries, along with in-depth discussions of how debt affects all subsequent downstream financial activities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the help of numerous real-world examples--including an abundance of graphs and market data screen shots--taken from the trading and development banking world, Dr. Mazzi explores an array of critical topics, including: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCurve construction and the increasing role of credit in discounting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAsset swaps as the key to funding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBasic credit modeling as a framework for understanding default\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFair value of loans and its implications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmerging markets and their key financial characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBond pricing and the challenges of illiquid or distressed debt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAsset liability management as a manifestation of debt and credit flowing through an institution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the \u003ci\u003eTreasury Finance and Development Banking\u003c\/i\u003e companion website, you'll find a host of powerful tools for implementing the practices covered in the book, including spreadsheets and macros, interest rate and credit modeling apps, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first practical guide to understanding how treasury funding affects the operations of financial institutions and, more importantly, how it impacts the ways in which activities are assessed, transactions priced, and financial risks managed, \u003ci\u003eTreasury Management and Development Banking\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable working resource for banking and other finance professionals, especially those involved in the fixed income markets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45154503721111,"sku":"9781118729120","price":6449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781118729120.webp?v=1767300170","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/treasury-finance-and-development-banking-a-guide-to-credit-debt-and-risk-9781118729120","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
