The Euro financial market is now a real alternative to the US dollar market, providing European firms with opportunities and financial market pressure unknown in the past. This book analyses the evolution to the present market configuration and the potential way forward. A brilliant and important achievement,"" Alfred Steinherr, Chief Economist, European Investment Bank ""This authoritative textbook on the European financial architecture is most welcome, and provides excellent coverage of the key markets and instruments as well as financial institutions from strategic andregulatory perspectives.
