The module also explores the theoretical basis for the existence and operation of banks, including financial intermediation, securitisation, lending techniques, deposit contracts, and insurance, while analysing the rationale and impact of bank regulation and supervision. Special attention is given to recent global developments in banking and regulatory practices, equipping students to critically evaluate asset market behaviour, pricing models, and the regulatory framework for financial institutions.
