A well-rounded guide for those interested in European financial
markets
With the advent of the euro and formation of the European Union,
financial markets on this continent are slowly beginning to gain
momentum. Individuals searching for information on these markets
have come up empty-until now. The Handbook of European Fixed Income
Markets is the first book written on this burgeoning market. It
contains extensive, in-depth coverage of every aspect of the
current European fixed income markets and their derivatives. This
comprehensive resource includes both a qualitative approach to
products, conventions, and institutions as well as quantitative
coverage of valuation and analysis of each instrument. The Handbook
of European Fixed Income Markets introduces readers to developed
markets such as the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and
Holland, as well as emerging markets in Eastern Europe. Government
and corporate bond market instruments and institutions are also
discussed. U.S.-based investors, researchers, and academics as well
as students and financial professionals in other parts of the world
will all turn to this book for complete and accurate information on
European financial instruments and markets.
