What is Financial Market :
Mechanism that allows people to buy and sell financial securities (such as stocks and bonds) and items of value at low transaction cost.
Markets work by placing many interested buyers and sellers in one “place”, thus making easier for them to find each other.
This has been prepared a business coach who gives finance training to corporate. This is for a more informal set up/ audience as it includes more colors, themes, images and less of text.
Beware, never use golden or yellow color in your slide cause it flashes in projector. By the way, it isn't the best work I have done but it is among my first slides so I just love it. Hope you too...

Financial Market is the market where financial securities like stocks and bonds and commodities like valuable metals are exchanged at efficient market prices. Here, by efficient market prices we mean the unbiased price that reflects belief at collective speculation of all investors about the future prospect. The trading of stocks and bonds in the Financial Market can take place directly between buyers and sellers or by the medium of Stock Exchange. Financial Markets can be domestic or international.
Digital 2022: Ethiopia
This page contains all the data, insights, and trends you need to help you understand how people in Ethiopia use connected devices and services in 2022.
You’ll find our complete Digital 2022 report on Ethiopia in the “full report” section below, but let’s start by taking a look at the essential headlines for digital adoption and use in Ethiopia this year.

Ethiopia’s population in 2022
Ethiopia’s total population was 119.3 million in January 2022.
Data show that Ethiopia’s population increased by 2.9 million (+2.5 percent) between 2021 and 2022.
50.0 percent of Ethiopia’s population is female, while 50.0 percent of the population is male.
At the start of 2022, 22.7 percent of Ethiopia’s population lived in urban centres, while 77.3 percent lived in rural areas.
Note: gender data are currently only available for “female” and “male”.
Ethiopia’s population by age
The median age of the population in Ethiopia is 19.9.
For additional context, here’s a look at how the population in Ethiopia breaks down by age group:
• 14.3 percent of Ethiopia’s population is between the ages of 0 and 4.
• 20.3 percent of Ethiopia’s population is between the ages of 5 and 12.
• 11.3 percent of Ethiopia’s population is between the ages of 13 and 17.

Internet use in Ethiopia in 2022
There were 29.83 million internet users in Ethiopia in January 2022.
Ethiopia’s internet penetration rate stood at 25.0 percent of the total population at the start of 2022.
Kepios analysis indicates that internet users in Ethiopia increased by 731 thousand (+2.5 percent) between 2021 and 2022.
For perspective, these user figures reveal that 89.50 million people in Ethiopia did not use the internet at the start of 2022, meaning that 75.0 percent of the population remained offline at the beginning of the year.
However, issues relating to COVID-19 continue to impact research into internet adoption, so actual internet user figures may be higher than these published numbers suggest (see here for further details).
For the latest insights into internet adoption and use around the world, follow our regular Global Statshot reports.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Primary markets versus secondary
markets
Primary market – Households which are in
financial surplus, exchange their savings for
shares, debentures and securities of the
financial deficit sectors such as the companies
and governments
Public issue of securities are made through
prospectus
New issues of equity and debt are arranged in
the form of a new flotation, either publicly or
privately or in form of a rights offer, to existing
shareholders
The transactions in the primary market result in
capital formation
29. 1-29
Primary markets versus secondary
markets (contd.)
Secondary market – securities which have
been issued in the past are traded
Secondary market is called stock market or
stock exchange
Owners of shares to sell their holdings readily
ensuring liquidity
Secondary market enables investors to
continuously rearrange their assets if they so
desire by divesting themselves of such assets
while others can use their surplus funds to
acquire them
Any trade of share subsequent to its primary
offering is called a secondary transaction
30. 1-30
Primary markets versus secondary
markets (contd.)
Initial buyer in the primary market may re-offer the
securities to any interested buyer at whatever price is
mutually satisfactory
The stock exchange provides a market where such
mutually satisfactory prices may be determined
The stock exchange offer opportunities primarily for
trading risk and boost liquidity
The presence of an active secondary market actually
promotes the growth of the primary market and capital
formation because investors in the primary market are
assured that a continuous market exists and they can
liquidate their investment in the stock exchange
The participants in the secondary market are linked by
formal trading rules and communication networks for
trading securities
31. 1-31
Money markets Vs capital markets
Money markets

money markets consist of unsecured interbank trading, short
term debt issuance, short-term secured lending
Use of a temporary surplus of funds by banks or businesses
Capital markets
where borrowers raise cash for long-term investment needs
generally riskier than money markets and
capital market securities must promise to pay a higher rate of
return to attract funds
savers willing to take the associated risk are attracted to these
markets

international transactions, foreign exchange risk has
become a major source of risk for many firms today and
much hedging with spot and forward foreign exchange
trades occurs

37. 1-37
Derivative security markets
A derivative security is a contract which derives its value
from some underlying asset or market condition
Main purpose of the derivatives markets is to transfer risk
between market participants.
Hedgers
enter derivatives contracts to reduce their risk exposure in the
underlying cash market (Eliminate the risk of price fluctuations)
Speculators
use derivative contracts to bet on price movements
speculators gamble on price fluctuations and hope to profit
Derivatives are highly leveraged instruments
This allows hedgers to reduce risk with a low capital investment and
the leverage also allows speculators to attempt to earn high rates of
return with low capital investments
38. 1-38
Derivative security markets
The two main types of derivatives markets
Market for exchange traded derivatives
Exchange traded derivatives are generally liquid and involve
no counterparty risk
Over the counter (OTC) derivatives markets

Domestic Market Foreign Market
49. 1-49
Classification of Global Financial
Markets
National Market
The National Market System (NMS) is the national system for
trading equities in the a Single Country. The System includes all
the facilities and entities which are used by broker-dealers to fulfill
trade orders for securities. This includes: major stock exchanges,
such as NYSE and NEPSE.
Domestic Market
A domestic market, also referred to as an internal market or domestic
trading, is the supply and demand of goods, services, and securities within
a single country. In domestic trading, a firm faces only one set of
competitive, economic, and market issues and essentially must deal with
only one set of customers, although the company may have several
segments in a market.
South Korean Market
Foreign Market
Part of a nation's internal market, representing the mechanisms for issuing
and trading securities of entities domiciled outside that nation.
50. 1-50
Classification of Global Financial
Markets
Euromarket
The euromarket is the market that includes all of the European
Union member countries - many of which use the same currency,
the euro. All tariffs between Euromarket member countries have
been abolished, and import duties from all non-member countries
have been fixed for all of the member countries. The Euromarket
also has one central bank for all of the member countries, the
European Central Bank (ECB).
52. 1-52
Motivation for Using Foreign Markets and
Euromarkets
1. The fund-seeking corporation’s domestic market is not fully developed
and cannot satisfy its demand for funds on globally competitive
terms.(Limited fund availability in internal market)
2. There may be opportunities for obtaining a lower cost of funding than is
available in the domestic market.(Reduced cost of funds)
3. Diversifying funding sources
53. 1-53
Derivatives Market
Futures/forward contracts are obligations
that must be fulfilled at maturity.
Options contracts are rights, not obligations,
to either buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying
financial instrument.

Role of Derivative Instruments
Protect against different types of investment
risks, such as purchasing power risk,
interest rate risk, exchange rate risk.
Advantages:
Lower transactions costs
Faster to carry out transaction
Greater liquidity

Motivation for financial innovation
— An asset, broadly speaking, is any possession that has value in an exchange, which can be classified as tangible or intangible.
— tangible assets: particular physical properties, building, land, machinery, etc.
— intangible assets: legal claims to some future benefit. Financial assets are intangible assets.
— issuer of the financial assets: the entity agrees to make future cash payment
— investor: the owner of the financial asset.
— debt instruments: the holder of a financial asset has may be either a fixed dollar amount. e.g. car loan, bond.
— equity instruments: obligates the issuer of the financial asset to pay the holder an amount based on earnings, if any, after holders of debt instruments have been paid. e.g. common stock.
— “combination” instruments: preferred stock (an equity instrument that entitles the investor to receive a fixed dollar amount), convertible bond (allows the investor to convert debt into equity under certain circumstances)
— Both debt and preferred stock that pay fixed dollar amount are called fixed-income instrument.
— A basic economic principle is that the price of any financial asset is equal to the present value of its expected cash flow, even if the cash flow is not known with certainty.
— expected return: given the expected cash flow of a financial asset and its price, we can determine its expected rate of return.
Institutionalization: Process which translates an organization's code of conduct, mission, policies, vision, and strategic plans into action guidelines applicable to the daily activities of its officers and other employees. It aims at integrating fundamental values and objectives into the organization's culture and structure.
