Banking - BMEGT35M121

The subject aims to provide a strong background and understanding of the banking and shadow banking sector. Students will not only be aware of the latest sectoral developments and theories but will also acquire the analyti-cal tools needed to assess banking and shadow banking sectors and individual banks as well on their own. During the previous courses of Finance master program, the students have already mastered many features of banking: different types of risk, their measurement/management methods at both individual and macro levels, analysis of financial statements, prudential regulation, etc. Building on this piece of knowledge, the subject helps the student to be able to independently analyze a banking system, a shadow banking system, or an individual bank. In previous studies, the shadow banking system has received less attention, and in the framework of this course, we want to fill this gap partially as well.
