South African Dictionary of Finance

The South African Dictionary of Finance provides guidance on the terminology that is encountered in the world of finance in plain, understandable English. New products, ideas and concepts are constantly generated in the ever evolving world of finance. This book is for anyone who is interested in money, since they need to gets to grips with the new language that accompanies these ideas and concepts. Some of the concepts discussed in the book are specific to South Africa and others are international. All are important in mastering the areas of finance and banking.

The book would assist the following people: brokers or private investors who would be engaging with financial news and media on a daily basis; those who are new to the world of finance or banking and who are struggling to understand the jargon of the industry; commerce or business school students would find this dictionary very useful; and a manager in a corporate environment who needs to address financial issues.

Rudy Wuite has worked in the banking industry in South Africa and abroad, and realised that many of the words and concepts used in the industry are not necessarily extremely difficult, but rather that they are not widely understood. In this dictionary, he has set out to demystify these words and concepts.
