This chapter discusses the major international financial markets known as the Euromarkets. It covers the Eurocurrency markets, Eurobonds, Note Issuance Facilities, and Euro-commercial paper. The Eurocurrency market is composed of eurobanks that accept deposits in foreign currencies, dominated by US dollars. Eurobonds are bonds sold outside the country of the currency's denomination, often US dollars, and have grown substantially due to interest rate swaps. Note Issuance Facilities allow borrowers to issue their own notes placed by banks as a low-cost substitute for loans. Euro-commercial paper are unsecured short-term debt securities denominated in US dollars and issued by corporations and governments.

Balance of Payment Disequilibrium and CausesNeema Gladys
1.Balance of Payment
The balance of payment of a country is a systematic accounting record of all economic transactions during a given period of time between the residents of the country and residents of foreign countries.
2.Componets of BOP
Current Account
It includes imports and exports of goods and services and unilateral transfer of goods and services.
Capital Account
Under this are grouped transactions leading to changes in foreign assets and liabilities of the country.
3. Accounting Treatment of Items (Debit and Credit Items)
Any item which gives rise to a sale of foreign exchange (an inflow) is recorded as a credit item (+) in the accounts e.g. export of goods and services
Any item which gives rise to the purchase of foreign exchange (an outflow) is recorded as a debit item (-) in the accounts e.g imports of goods and services.
4. BOP Disequilibrium
BOP is a double entry accounting record, then apart from errors and omissions, it must always balance.
The BOP deficit or surplus indicate imbalance in the BOP.
This imbalance is interpreted as BOP Disequilibrium.
A country’s balance of payments is said to be in disequilibrium when its autonomous receipts (credits) are not equal to its autonomous payments (debits).
5.BOP Deficit
A deficit or an unfavorable balance exists when the value of autonomous debit items exceeds the value of autonomous credit items.
6. BOP Surplus
A surplus or a favourable balance exists when the value of autonomous credit items exceeds the value of autonomous debit items.
