Banking Mechanisms Training Course: How Banks Actually Finance Economic Activity
1Summary
Strip a bank down to its core function and it's simpler than the industry makes it sound: a financial institution built to safeguard money, put it to work, and make every financial transaction easier for its customers. That's what makes it the natural place both to deposit savings and to withdraw a loan — against a guarantee that covers the loan's value, or against a guarantor's commitment to repay if the debtor defaults. Understanding that mechanism, and how it scales up to financing real economic activity across commercial and Islamic banks alike, is the foundation this course is built on.
The Arab British Fellowship Training Academy offers this course to anyone who wants to acquire great skills in money markets and gain experience in bank management.
