Financial Markets-03

Loading...

International finance is a branch of economics that deals with monetary interactions between countries. It focuses on understanding how money flows across borders and how this affects economies and businesses globally. Financial markets are platforms where people and institutions buy and sell financial assets, like stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. These markets play a crucial role in the economy by allowing funds to move from those who have it to those who need it for productive purposes.

  1. INTERNATIONAL FINANCE AND FINANCIAL MARKETS
  2. OBJECTIVES •To understand The distinction between international trade and international finance The external sector and the external accounts Balance of Payments International Investment Position
  3. WHAT IS INTERNATIONAL FINANCE OPPOSED TO INTERNATIONAL TRADE)? • International trade: • Microeconomic approach (many goods and factors). How cross country differences in factor endowments and technology affect specialization in production and international trade in goods and services.
  4. WHAT IS INTERNATIONAL FINANCE OPPOSED TO INTERNATIONAL TRADE)? • International trade: • Distribution of economic resources and technological levels among nations are different. • International trade is a method which enables nations to specialize and increases the productivity of their resources. • Therefore, nations' production capacities can be increased, their production possibility frontier will move rightward. • The international economy is very complex. • Each country has a unique pattern of trade. • But every one of them must benefit from the trading in order for them to do that.
  5. Production Possibilities Curve The Production Possibilities Curve illustrates the trade-offs facing an economy producing two goods. The production possibilities frontier (the line) shows all the oossible combinations of the two products usin2 all the available resources. Since we are using all available resources, increasing the production of one of the goods means decreasing the production Of the other good (illustrates the idea Of trade- Offs). Possibilities Good X Good Y
  6. PRODUCTION POSSIBILITY FRONTIER Rewrces 0 in aakn Figure
  7. WHAT IS INTERNATIONAL FINANCE OPPOSED TO INTERNATIONAL TRADE)? • International finance: • Macroeconomic approach. Determination of aggregate output, saving and trade balance in open economies. Determinants of international trade in assets. i.e. across states of nature and time • Money is one such asset. National prices denominated in terms of national monies the exchange rate affects the relatiVé prie—f foreign assets measured in units of home mo ey. International Trade as a sub account of Balance of Payments.
  8. EXTERNAL SECTOR • External sector is "the rest of the world' • non-residents of an economy • economic transactions financial claims financial liabilities

  12. RESIDENCY Residency is based on center of predominant economic interest (not on citizenship) Implies that the entity is already engaged in economic activities and transactions in the country on a significant scale for a period of one year or more, or intends to do so. • Households and individuals reside for Olne qear or 10110er • Enterprises significant Of prod',tc+i014 The government of a country resideblf, 12M defamlf reside*s of country where flaeq have Non-profit organizations • International organizations leoallq accorded recoovnited

  57. BALANCE AND THE EXCHANGE RATE téxppkö
  58. EXCHANGE • Exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be traded for another. Units of domestic currencies per one unit of foreign currency (direct quotation) US$ Rs. 180.55 -E deprecia+ibll of Rs Units of foreign currency per one unit of d 1 pound sterling - US$ 1.28 tic currency (indirect quotation) • In practice, except for few currencies, i.e. the pound sterling, euro, the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar, all other currencies are expressed using the direct quotation system in the international market When comparing the currencies of two countries, the supply of one currency equals the demand for another currency
  59. USE EXCHANGE RATE • Exchange rate allows to: • express prices in a common currency, making easier cost comparisons • Suppose you wish to compare the prices of a good sold in two locations, SL and US • It sells in Sri Lanka, expressed in Rs. • It sells in the United States, expressed in • The currency units differ • The only meaningful way to compare the prices in different countries is to convert prices into a common currency • In Sri Lanka, the price of an item in dollar terms is I/E * Ps • For example, if the price of the item in Sri Lanka is Rs. and the exchange rate between the Sri Lankan rupee and the US$ (ERs/$) is Rs. 180, the US$ value of the item in Sri Lanka is $277.77
  60. EXCHANGE • If exchange rate P* = price level in foreign country price level in domestic country, If REER increases, there is a real appreciation. If REER decreases, there is a real depreciation.
  61. EXCHANGE RATE • Rate of exchange for real goods and services across countries • relative value/price/cost of goods and services across countries • Real exchange rates are based on price indexes of "baskets" of goods. • real exchange rate is usually defined by using the consumer price indices (i.e., CPI) • Assume that each country produces a single good. For nom is the nominal exchange rate; • is the price of foreign goods, measured in the foreign currency; • P is the price of domestic goods, measured in nominal currency. 61)
  62. APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION A real appreciation is an increase in the real exchange rate. • With real appreciation the same quantity of domestic goods can be traded for more foreign goods. • SL residents receive more foreign goods per unit of the SL good • SL residents have an incentive to buy more foreign goods relative to SL goods A real depreciation is a drop in the real exchange rate.
  63. REL EXCHANGE RATE AND THE TRADE BALANCE • IF real exchange rate increases (decreases), domestic goods become more (less) expensive (in real terms) relative to foreign goods • Over the medium term: • A real exchange rate depreciation is likely to lead an improvement in the trade balance (external demand for exports increases and domestic demand for imports decreases) • A real appreciation is likely to lead toa deterioration in the trade balance

  67. The Difference Between 1 BALANCE OF PAYMENTS DEFICIT • The country imports more goods. services & capital than it exports. • It must borrow from other countries to pay for its imports. • In the short-term, this fuels economic growth. • In the long-term, it will have to go into debt to pay for consumption. 1 BALANCE OF PAYMENTS SURPLUS • The country exports more than it imports. • Country provides enough capital to pay for all domestic production. • A surplus boosts economic growth in the short term. • In the long run, it becomes too dependent on export-driven growth.
  68. IMBALANCES • Refers to the phenomenon of persistent current account surpluses or deficits for some countries, that leads eventually to the accumulation of assets or financial liabilities from those countries How does this come about?
  69. GLOBAL IMBALANCES S OF WORLD GDP Signs of trouble External imbalances peaked before the global financial crisis.

  76. THE NEED FOR GLOBAL REBALANCING •Global rebalancing essential • Sustaining world growth • Liquidity trap and risks of insufficient global demand • Reducing external vulnerabilities • Legacy of crisis still with us for years to come • Multilateral approach needed • Adjustment cannot rely exclusively on demand compression in deficit countries
