International Finance
Instructor: Драган Глигорић, PhD, Associate Professor
The goal of this subject is to provide students with the necessary knowledge in the field of international finance. In the past few decades, international finance have experienced fast and, at certain times, very fast development. National financial markets are increasingly losing the attribute of national and become part of the global financial market - the world market. Major financial and currency crises during the turn of the century drew attention to the problems that international finance are dealing with. Complex relationships in international finance that occur as a result of continuous technological development, financial globalization and financial integration of national economies set new tasks and demands before economic theory, which should respond to the various challenges and crises that the world is facing.
