The course will cover key issues in international finance. It should include the basic content of a typical lecture on international finance, but also the most important contemporary financial processes and events occurring on international financial markets and in real economies.
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the conditions of the functioning of modern financial markets and financial processes accompanying the functioning of economies in the international dimension. Traditional topics in the field of international finance include issues such as the balance of payments, exchange rate issues, the functioning of international financial organizations (IMF, IBRD, FSB), the conditions of the monetary integration process in Europe or the financial issues of international enterprises. It will be supplemented with a description of such processes as the development of the unregulated financial sphere (shadow banking) or the use of financial technologies on an increasing scale both in the capital market (high frequency trading) and in areas of the financial market dedicated to retail customers (electronic payments, cryptocurrencies). One of the assumptions of the course is to capture the dynamic changes resulting from the digitization of the global financial system.
