Finance of International Trade

This revision guide is intended to serve as a complement to the textbook. Its aim is essentially to provide past examination questions set by the Institute of Bankers and the examiners own answers together with past questions set at the City of London Polytechnic and other questions with their answers. This gives the reader a wider range of topics which reflects the contents of the textbook and permits of selectivity to meet need. It is suggested that as each textbook chapter is read the relevant section in the Revision Guide should be attempted in order to test knowledge and understanding thereby further enhancing the learning process. To facilitate this the guide is set out section by section to match the chapters in the textbook. Several sections are prefaced by introductions to bridge the gap between textbook and questions. In addition questions are presented in succeeding order of difficulty so that readers can move from the less to the more complex at their own speed. November 1985 L.
