It explains that while perfectly accurate forecasts are impossible, forecasting allows companies to make informed financial decisions by deriving reasonable cash flow estimates. It then describes technical, fundamental, and market-based forecasting techniques as well as mixed approaches. Companies need forecasts for hedging decisions, short-term investments, capital budgeting, earnings assessments, and long-term financing. The most appropriate technique depends on the situation and factors being considered.
Here are two reasons that caused the Asian Currency Crisis:
1. Excess capacity - Investments were based on projections of future demand conditions that did not materialize. This led to overcapacity.
2. High debt - Investments were supported by high levels of dollar-denominated debt. This exposed countries to currency risk if their currencies depreciated against the dollar.
To avoid a similar crisis in the future:
- Countries should avoid excessive investments based only on optimistic projections without proper feasibility studies. More prudent investment planning is needed.
- Relying too heavily on foreign currency debt, especially dollars, increases currency risk. A balanced mix of local currency and foreign currency debt would mitigate this risk.
The document discusses concepts in international finance including the importance of studying international finance due to factors like globalization, trends such as the rise of multinational corporations and digital currencies, and the difference between international finance which involves cross-border decisions and domestic finance which does not extend beyond national borders.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

8. INTERNATIONAL BANKING SERVICES
• The three means in trade finance are
– Cash in advance; the exporter can avoid credit risk, since payment is received
prior to the transfer of ownership of the good
– Letter of credit; LC is a commitment by a bank on behalf of the buyer that
payment will be made to the exporter provided that the terms and conditions
have been met,
– Open account; means that the goods are shipped and delivered before payment
is due, usually in 30 to 90 days.

bank), which conduct variety financial services (i.e. trading financial instruments,
foreign exchange market, investment banking, deposits & loans, underwrite of
equity and debt)
15. REASONS FOR INTERNATIONAL BANKING
• Low marginal costs
– Managerial and marketing knowledge developed at home can be used
abroad with low marginal costs.
• Knowledge advantage
– The foreign bank subsidiary can draw on the parent bank’s knowledge of
personal contacts and credit investigations for use in that foreign market.
16. REASONS FOR INTERNATIONAL BANKING
• Home nation information services
– Local firms in a foreign market may be able to obtain more complete
information on trade and financial markets in the multinational bank’s home
nation than is obtainable from foreign domestic banks.
• Prestige
– Very large multinational banks have high perceived prestige, which can be
attractive to new clients.
17. REASONS FOR INTERNATIONAL BANKING
• Regulatory advantage
– Multinational banks are often not subject to the same regulations as domestic
banks.
• Wholesale defensive strategy
– Banks follow their multinational customers abroad to avoid losing their business at
home and abroad.
• Retail defensive strategy
– Multinational banks also compete for retail services such as travelers checks and
the tourist and foreign business market.
18. REASONS FOR INTERNATIONAL BANKING

– Multinational banks may be able to circumvent government currency
controls.
• Growth

19. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• Correspondent bank
• Representative offices
• Foreign branches
• Subsidiary and affiliate banks
• Edge Act banks
• Offshore banking centers
• “Shell” branches
• International banking facilities
20. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• CORRESPONDENT BANK – a correspondent banking relationship exists
when two banks maintain deposits with each other.
• Correspondent banking allows a bank’s MNC client to conduct business
worldwide through his local bank or its correspondents.
• E.g.: The Commonwealth Bank of Australia opens an account with a Norwegian
Bank in Norway. Australian importer can pay goods imported from Norway by
debiting the importer’s account with Commonwealth Bank and then,
Commonwealth Bank’s account with Norwegian Bank will be debited to pay the
transaction.
21. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• REPRESENTATIVE OFFICES –A representative office is a small service
facility staffed by parent bank personnel that is designed to assist MNC
clients of the parent bank in dealings with the bank’s correspondents.
• Representative offices also assist with information about local business
customs and credit evaluation of the MNC’s local customers.
• They are not authorized to carry out the general banking functions of deposit
taking or lending
22. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• FOREIGN BRANCHES - a foreign branch bank operates like a local bank, but
is legally part of the parent.
• Subject to both the banking regulations of home country and foreign country.
• Can provide a much fuller range of services than a representative office.
• Branch banks are the most popular way for U.S. banks to expand overseas.
• Foreign branch may conduct full range of banking activities, including the
acceptance of deposits and making of loans, as well as providing traditional
international banking services.
23. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• SUBSIDIARY AND AFFILIATE BANKS - A subsidiary bank is a locally
incorporated bank wholly or partly owned by a foreign parent.
• An affiliate bank is one that is partly owned but not controlled by the parent.
• U.S. parent banks like foreign subsidiaries because they allow U.S. banks to
underwrite securities.
• The name of the bank might be same with the parent or otherwise
• Subject to the banking regulations of the foreign country.
24. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• EDGE ACT BANKS - are federally chartered subsidiaries of U.S.
banks that are physically located in the U.S. and are allowed to engage
in a full range of international banking activities.
• The Edge Act was a 1919 amendment to Section 25 of the 1914 Federal
Reserve Act.
25. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• OFFSHORE BANKING CENTRES - an offshore banking center is a country whose
banking system is organized to permit external accounts beyond the normal scope of
local economic activity.
• The host country usually grants complete freedom from host-country governmental
banking regulations.
• The primary activities of offshore banks are to seek deposits and grant loans in foreign
currency. •
The IMF recognizes the following as major offshore banking centers: – The Bahamas,
Bahrain, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the Netherlands Antilles, Panama, and
Singapore.
26. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• SHELL BRANCHES - Shell branches need to be nothing more than a
post office box.
• The actual business is done by the parent bank at the parent bank.
• The purpose was to allow U.S. banks to compete internationally without
the expense of setting up operations “for real.”
•
27. TYPES OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING OFFICES
• INTERNATIONAL BANKING FACILITY - An international banking
facility is a separate set of accounts that are segregated on the parents
books.
• An international banking facility is not a unique physical or legal
identity.
• Any U.S. bank can have one.
• International banking facilities have captured a lot of the Eurodollar
business that was previously handled offshore.
•
28. Question and Answer Session
1. List THREE (3) international banks operating in
Malaysia.
2. What is an international bank?
3. State THREE (3) functions of an international bank.
30. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• International Debt Crisis (1980s)
• Some of the largest banks in the world were endangered when loans were
made to sovereign governments of some less-developed countries.
• 19 less developed countries had debt out- standing equivalent to 53.6 % of
their GNP (1989)
• At the height of the crisis, Third World countries owed $1.2 trillion.
31. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Debt Crisis and Oil
• OPEC deposited nearly$100 billion in Eurodollar deposits by 1976
• ‘Petrodollar recycling’
• OPEC raised oil prices in the late 1970s leading to:
• Recession, Higher Interest Rates, Lower Commodity Prices, Debt in Dollars
32. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Japanese Banking Crisis
• The history of the Japanese banking crisis is a result of a complex
combination of events and the structure of the Japanese financial system.
• Japanese commercial banks have historically served as the financing arm
and center of a collaborative group know as keiretsu.
• Keiretsu members have cross-holdings of one another’s equity and ties of
trade and credit.
33. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• The collapse of the Japanese stock market set in motion a downward spiral
for the entire Japanese economy and in particular Japanese banks.
• This put massive amounts of bank loans to corporations in jeopardy.
• It is unlikely that the Japanese banking crisis will be rectified anytime
soon.
• The Japanese financial system does not have a legal infrastructure that
allows for restructuring of bad bank loans. Japanese bank managers have
little incentive to change because of the Keiretsu structure.
34. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• The Asian Crisis
• This crisis followed a period of economic expansion in the region financed
by record private capital inflows.
• Bankers from the G-10 countries actively sought to finance the growth
opportunities in Asia by providing businesses with a full range of products
and services.
• This led to domestic price bubbles in East Asia, particularly in real estate.
• Additionally, the close interrelationships common among commercial
firms and financial institutions in Asia resulted in poor investment
decision making.
35. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Additionally, the close interrelationships common among commercial
firms and financial institutions in Asia resulted in poor investment
decision making.
• The Asian crisis is only the latest example of banks making a multitude of
poor loans—spurred on by competition from other banks to make loans in
the “hot” region.
• It is doubtful if the international debt crisis or the Asian crisis has taught
banks a lasting lesson.
36. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Global Financial Crisis
• Officially began in the United States in December of 2007.
• The origin of the credit crunch can be traced back to the low interest rate
environment created by the Federal Reserve Bank in the early part of this
century.
• The fed funds target rate fell from 6.5 percent set on May 16, 2000, to 1.0
percent on June 25, 2003, and stayed below 3.0 percent until May 3, 2005.
37. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Many banks and mortgage lenders lowered their credit standards to attract
new home buyers who could afford to make mortgage payments at the
current low interest rates, or “teaser” rates that were temporarily set at a
low level during the early years of an adjustable-rate mortgage, but would
likely reset to a higher rate later on.
• Many of these home buyers would not have qualified for mortgage
financing under more stringent credit standards, nor could they afford the
loan at the eventual higher rates of interest.
38. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• These so-called subprime mortgages were typically not held by the
originating bank making the loan, but instead were resold for packaging
into mortgage-backed securities (MBSs).
• Between 2001 and 2006, the value of subprime mortgages increased from
$190 billion to $600 billion.
• Conceptually, mortgage-backed securities make sense. Each MBS
represents a portfolio of mortgages, thus diversifying the credit risk that
the investor holds.
39. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Structured Investment Vehicles (SIVs) have been one large investor in
MBS. An SIV is a virtual bank, frequently operated by a commercial bank
or an investment bank, but which operates off the balance sheet.
• Typically, an SIV raises short-term funds in the commercial paper market
to finance longer-term investment in MBSs and other asset-backed
securities.
• SIVs are frequently highly levered, with ratios of 10 to 15 times the amount
of equity raised.
40. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Since yield curves are typically upward sloping, the SIV might earn .25
percent by doing this. Obviously, SIVs are subject to the interest rate risk
of the yield curve inverting (that is, short-term rates rising above long-term
rates), thus necessitating the SIV to refinance the MBS investment at short-
term rates in excess of the rate being earned on the MBS.
• SIVs must contend with default risk. If the underlying mortgage borrowers
default on their home loans, the SIV will lose investment value.
41. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• When subprime debtors began defaulting on their mortgages, commercial
paper investors were unwilling to finance SIVs. Liquidity worldwide
essentially dried up.
• The spread between the three-month Eurodollar rate and three-month U.S.
Treasury-bills (the TED spread), frequently used as a measure of credit
risk, increased from about 30 basis points in March 2007 to 200 basis points
in November 2007, as investors became fearful of placing funds in even the
strongest international banks.
42. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Additionally, many CDOs found themselves stuck with the highest risk
tranches of MBS debt, which they had not yet placed or were unable to
place as subprime foreclosure rates around the country escalated.
• Commercial and investment banks have been forced to write down over
$170 billion of subprime debt to date, with as much as $285 billion
expected.
43. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Many lessons should be learned from the global financial crisis:
• Credit rating agencies need to refine their models for evaluating esoteric
credit risk created in MBSs and CDOs.
• Borrowers must be more wary of putting complete faith in credit ratings.
• Bankers seem to scrutinize credit risk less closely when they serve only as
mortgage originators rather than the paper holders themselves.
44. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Many lessons should be learned from the global financial crisis:
• As things have turned out, when the subprime mortgage crisis hit,
commercial and investment banks found themselves exposed, in one
fashion or another, to more mortgage debt than they realized they held.
49. Question and Answer Session
