國際金融

前言

國際金融是一門研究國際間貨幣和資本運動與交換關系的學科。隨著世界經濟一體化進程的不斷加快，國際金融正日益成為世界經濟中最活躍的因素。進入21世紀以來，國際金融市場發(fā)生了巨大變化：金融產品的創(chuàng)新層出不窮，金融體系的結構重新整合，金融組織的功能迅速加強，金融監(jiān)管的重點不斷調整。所有這一切正在深刻地改變著世界經濟發(fā)展的進程和國家間的利益格局。如何培養(yǎng)既精通國際金融專業(yè)知識又熟練外語技能的復合型人才，如何使學生既掌握國際金融學科所要求的基礎理論和基本技能，又具備緊跟國際金融領域發(fā)展前沿的綜合素質，已成為當今中國學界相關學科和跨學科建設與教學的一大課題。“金融+外語”的雙語教學方式正是實現上述教學目標的重要手段和途徑。本《國際金融(英文版)》教材的編寫，試圖幫助讀者在英語語境中系統(tǒng)學習、感悟和掌握當今國際金融學科的要義，增強直接使用英語從事國際金融市場實際操作的能力和把握國際金融理論精髓的水平。在我國學界，不同風格、類型的《國際金融》教材俯拾即是，但它們大都是用中文編寫的，既無法充分滿足培養(yǎng)專業(yè)加外語的復合型人才模式的需要，也無法完全實現該模式的培養(yǎng)目標。因此，本英文版《國際金融》教材的編寫正是這一時代浪潮催生而成的產物，相信廣大讀者會從中體會其所被賦予的使命。

章節(jié)摘錄

1.1  International transactions: the balance of paymentsThe balance of payments is the record of the economic and financial flows that take placeover a specified time period between residents and non-residents of a given country. The timeperiod is arbitrary, but it is common practice to supply balance of payments data on amonthly, quarterly and yearly basis. The residents of a country comprise the centralgovernment, individuals, private non-profit bodies serving individuals, and enterprises, alldefined in terms of their residential relationship to the territory of that economy. Flows referto income and expenditure or changes at levels of outstanding assets and liabilities. They arerecorded in a double entry system of credits and debits or sources and uses.The best way to understand this definition is via some simple examples, but first wehave to have some general idea of what the balance of payments includes. Table 1.1 shows ashorthand presentation of how the International Monetary Fund (IMF) portrays the balance ofpayments. It is divided into two major accounts, the current account and the capital account.Each general account is then subdivided into categories such as exports, imports, directinvestment and portfolio investment. When necessary, more details are available.In order to make comparisons between different economies, a standardized method forcompiling the accounts is necessary. The accepted practice is that the dements of bothaccounts should be recorded at market prices where possible. Market prices mean the amountof money that a willing buyer pays to acquire something from a willing seller, when thebuyer and the seller are independent and when such an exchange is motivated only bycommercial considerations. In this context, each transaction is priced individually accordingto the contract terms specific to that transaction. It is therefore conceivable that separatetransactions, though identical in every way, could have different market prices. While mosttransactions lend themselves to this notion of a market price, many do not, such as barters,tax payments, transfers between affiliated enterprises and gifts. In such cases it is necessaryto estimate their actual market values respectivdy.
