The Gilt-Edged Market (RLE Banking & Finance), Paperback / softback Book

The Gilt-Edged Market (RLE Banking & Finance) Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Banking & Finance series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book was written at a time when the market for government stocks in London, the gilt-edged market of the title, had undergone a period of rapid innovation in the forms of its instruments – index-linked stocks, variable rate stocks, and other new types – and of methods of issue.

This had been the response of a government that had needed to fund a massive public sector borrowing requirement despite its attempts to slash public expenditure.

In the same period the opening of the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE), with its 20-year gilt contract, had introduced a new method for hedging risk for investment managers.

This book charts and analyses these developments.
