Features: This book is a planned teaching material for vocational colleges and higher vocational colleges under the Ministry of Education. It is written according to the newly formulated "Talent Training Program for Higher Vocational and Technical Education in E-commerce" by the Ministry of Education. The book is divided into nine chapters: Foreign Exchange and Exchange Rates, Foreign Exchange Trading, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Balance of Payments, International Reserves and External Debt, International Financing Methods, International Credit, International Financial Markets, and International Financial Electronics. The book's features are primarily reflected in:
Systematicity: Based on the characteristics of higher vocational and technical education, it strives to be concise and clear, focusing on the completeness and accuracy of international financial theory while avoiding complex and difficult derivations.
Practicality: It emphasizes the introduction of various international financial instruments and financial innovations, with case studies arranged at the end of each chapter to connect the book's theories and business knowledge with the vivid international financial market, thereby enhancing students' ability to analyze and solve problems.
Novelty: The book boldly explores its format by dividing international finance into three parts: Foreign Exchange and Exchange Rates, Balance of Payments and Reserves, and International Investment and Financing. This makes the book more organized. Additionally, a chapter on International Financial Electronics has been added to keep the book in sync with the times. For teaching convenience, each chapter includes learning objectives, summaries, exercises, and case studies to help students understand, digest, and absorb the content.
This book can serve as a foundational textbook for economics, management, and e-commerce majors in higher vocational colleges, higher vocational colleges, adult higher education institutions, and secondary vocational colleges of undergraduate universities. It can also be used as a reference book for undergraduate students, correspondence students, and economic and management professionals.
