Description

BACKGROUND:
Capital Markets are markets for buying and selling equity and debt instruments. Capital markets channel savings and investment between suppliers of capital such as retail investors and institutional investors, and users of capital like businesses, government and individuals. Capital markets are vital to the functioning of an economy, since capital is a critical component for generating economic output. Capital markets include primary markets, where new stock and bond issues are sold to investors, and secondary markets, which trade existing securities.

Global Capital Markets handles the origination, structuring and underwriting of primary equities, investment-grade and high-yield bonds and syndicated loans. It has three areas:
• The Capital Markets & Treasury Solutions (CMTS)
• Equity Capital Markets (ECM)
• The Leveraged Debt Capital Markets (LDCM)
• International Monetary Fund (IMF)
