Understand Banks & Financial Markets

🚀 Course Title: Understand Banks & Financial Markets 🏦💰

Headline: Dive into the World of Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Participants, Products, Trading Motives, Pricing, and Structure!

Course Description:

Since the pivotal years of the '80s, banks have transformed into colossal financial supermarkets offering a myriad of services and products. This transformation has not only required bank employees to develop specialized expertise but also necessitated that the broader workforce in these institutions, including IT personnel, possess a foundational understanding of finance and banking. Unfortunately, the recurrence of crises like the 1929 financial crisis and the 2008 credit crisis underscores a significant knowledge gap among many when it comes to grasping the intricacies of banks and financial markets.

This knowledge gap can lead to confusion and outrage during times of financial turmoil, as seen in the reactions to these crises. To address this issue, I have crafted an accessible 3-hour video e-training on Udemy specifically designed to demystify the world of finance for non-financial professionals.
