What is interest rate risk?

Risk is either of increased funding cost for borrowers, or of reduced yields for investors. Short-term volatility and the unpredictability of interest rates led the banks and the financial exchanges to create ' an explosion' of financial instruments. Each of these instruments has a different set of characteristics for hedging interest rate risk on both loans and deposits, in different global currencies in both the short and long term.

 

 

Downloading and Installing Python

Python can be downloaded from http://python.org

For unix platforms download the .tgx file , extract the files and go to the main directory. Build Python by performing the following:

  1. ./configure
  2. make
  3.  make install

Python is usually installed in a standard location so you can find it rather easily. It has become quite common place for systems today to have multiple versions of Python installed. While it is easy to find the binary executable, you also have to deal with where the libraries are installed.
