This book will be of tremendous value to anyone in the industry who deals with some or all of these financial institutions; 'know your client' is a very valuable way to get competitive advantage. Not only is this book a valuable resource, but it has also arrived at a particularly important time in the changing structure of the financial markets and all its participants." -John Evans, CFA, Program Director, MSc Investment Management, and Head of ICMA Executive Education, ICMA Centre "Gail Rolland provides a 'tourde force' through the global financial markets. She writes in an accessible sytle that is both easy to read and engaging. Her descriptions of commerical and retail banking vs. trading and sales really highlight the operational and philosophical differences between these two very different aspects of the markets. Rolland clearly details the role of the central banks and regulators and explains their role in both regulation and monetary policy. This book is essential reading for anyone working in the financial markets and commodity markets. I highly recommend this book and it is number one on the reading list for both new starters and experienced professionals in my own organizaiton."-Dr. Andy Cooper, Chief Learning Officer, Amphora Inc. "Banks, finance houses or government agencies - it's important to understand their roles and what motivates them in today's global markets. I am so pleased that everyone can now benefit from Gail's knowedge with this excellent guide. Each chapter provides a comprehensive review of the different functions within these large institutions and provides an easy point of reference into how they work together on a daily basis."-Heather Horner, MCSI.
