From the Inside Flap:

The most up-to-date international dictionary of finance

The incredibly rich cross-fertilization of languages and business cultures in today’s global marketplace has spawned a dizzying array of new financial terms. At the same time, sophisticated new technologies allow instant access to virtually any domestic market, anywhere in the world, any time of day. Each has its own unique financial lingo: valeur, zin, Buba, bull dog bond, aliquot, or jikihone bill . . . you get the idea.

If you are involved in international business, you know how important it is to stay in sync with its colorful, constantly changing language. The International Dictionary of Finance now makes it easier than ever.

Compiled by the editors, researchers, reporters, and affiliated scholars of The Economist, the International Dictionary of Finance is an authoritative desktop reference featuring more than 3,000 common—and some not so common—financial terms used in all of the world’s major financial centers. Most entries apply to the five major categories of Money Markets, Commodity Markets, Securities Markets, Banking, and Insurance. You’ll also find terms from the worlds of business finance, public finance, accounting, investment appraisal, savings and investment, and statistics and technology. And, to help you reach as complete an understanding of a term or concept as possible, the International Dictionary of Finance is fully cross-referenced.

THE ECONOMIST: Launched in 1843, The Economist is the most authoritative and influential international news and business magazine. It is widely read by top decision-makers and finance and business professionals worldwide.
