DESCRIPTION As globalization is redefining the field of corporate finance, international finance is now part and parcel of the basic literacy of any financial executive.

International Corporate Finance offers thorough coverage of the international monetary system, international financing, foreign exchange risk management and cross-border valuation. Additionally, the book offers keen insight on how disintermediation, deregulation and securitization are re-shaping global capital markets.
