First, a market is thought

36、 of as a formal or informal organization of buyers and sellers who conduct trades in particular commodities or services. The market may be located at a geographical meeting place, such as your friendly neighborhood bookstore or shopping center(a retail market). A market may be organized over wide ar

37、eas connected through phones or computer terminals. Although the trading room of the New York Stock Exchange is located in New York City, buyers and sellers who actively participate in this market may conduct their trades from distant locations. This description is the institutional way of looking a

38、t a market. The second meaning of the word “market“ is used in formal economic models. Here the equations that explain the demand and supply of a commodity such as money are sometimes grouped together. The reasons for supplying and holding money are thought to be specific enough to warrant separate

39、equations. This is an abstract way to think of the money market. New financial assets are traded in primary markets. Financial assets that are resold are waded in secondary markets. Firms that specialize in trading either new or reissued financial assets are called primary secondary dealers, respect

40、ively. 51 A financial market may be thought of as ordinary market in which traders may buy or sell particular financial commodities. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 52 A market may also be virtual, which is connected by phones on Internet. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 53 We can learn

A Reserve Bank may seek to engage retired examiners to address fluctuating resource demands, for example, in the event of a rap

43、id but temporary need for examiners experienced in loan underwriting and credit review. An external expert may be used to provide supplemental training, for example, to expose examiners to new analytical techniques, or to provide on-the-job training to examiners who have not experienced an economic

44、downturn, problem loans, or problem banks. While it is important to maintain adequate resources and expertise on an ongoing basis, a Reserve Bank may decide in a particular situation that using a consultant is a more cost effective or efficient approach to meeting a specialized skill need. For examp

45、le, a consultant may be engaged for a one-time assignment that does not justify a full-time expert on staff, particularly if a System expert is not available. Similarly, an external expert with industry-specific knowledge may be retained to evaluate a business activity that is nontraditional to bank

46、ing, such as brokerage services or insurance. 55 The external experts can provide many kinds of works except auditing. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 56 Using an external consultant is a more cost effective or efficient approach to meeting a specialized skill need. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C）
