Elseviers Banking Dictionary

Hardbound. This is the third revised edition of a dictionary which was first published thirty years ago. A second edition was published in 1980 in an effort to keep up with the revolution which was then taking place in the field of economics. In that edition almost 50 entries were deleted from the original version and more than 600 new terms were included.Since that time there have been even more developments in the banking and financial world so creating the need for this third revised edition. Portuguese has been added to the dictionary as this language now plays a very important role in the banking business community. This updated version will be of considerable help to banks and financial companies all over the world.

In the field of business, finance and economy, the English language has taken first place, even between people, institutions and countries whose respective native tongues are foreign to the English language. Spanish has become a very necessary language in different countries, thus, the combination of both languages provides an instrument of communication that is indispensable and unavoidable.This dictionary takes into account the frequent difficulties which economists, financiers, interpreters and others may have, in fully understanding the scope of a given field, expressions or even words, that in the highly specialised jargon of economics have acquired very concise meanings. Intensive research into definitions in the extremely vast field of economics, finance and business, has produced a dictionary well designed to fulfill the needs of users of a two-language dictionary. Proper and very factual explanations and definitions are given for each word or group of words, thus making absolutely clear to professionals which term to use.
