The Thematic Unit ΛΧΡ611 “Risk Management of Financial Institutions” provides the students who select it with the knowledge and ability to understand decision making by banks and other financial institutions. In particular, it examines the risks these institutions face as brokers in their quest to increase the return on their funds.
