Why Financial Economics at Ibn Haldun University?

The role of financial markets in shaping global economic architecture has gained momentum through the rapid improvements in information and communication technologies. Globalization has led to the standardization of products and technological infrastructure and thus integration and interdependence of the financial markets. Today financial transactions in banking, capital markets, and other financial services take only seconds. This also brings huge competition among the markets. Any small event or crisis in any corner of the World easily affects many financial markets.

Global competition requires high-quality human resources who know financial markets, their structures, and operations very well. This issue is particularly important for Istanbul, as many cities and regions have been competing to be an International Financial Center. Besides, more education and training programs are always needed to increase financial literacy as well as a good understanding of the financial markets for the whole community in general and decision-makers in particular.

The financial Economics MA Program to be run by the cooperation of the Departments of Economics and Management of Ibn Haldun University is designed for the participants who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of the financial markets and the global economy.
