Monetising assets and collateral management has never been more important.

“Few understand the intricacies and impact of global collateral flows as Manmohan does!  He offers a practical understanding of the role of collateral in supporting financial activity and provides provocative viewpoints which will encourage discussion”.  

Sandie O’Connor, Former Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer, JPMorgan Chase 

“Manmohan Singh has established himself as leading expert on how collateral availability affects the financial system and the economy. As collateral and repo market topics have continued to evolve rapidly over the last years, a new edition of his book was much warranted.”

Ulrich Bindseil, Director General of Market Infrastructure and Payments, ECB

“This book provides an authoritative overview of the plumbing of financial markets, with a discussion of broader financial stability and macroeconomic implications. It is a worthy reference for policy makers, practitioners, and students.”

Tobias Adrian, Financial Counsellor and Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department, International Monetary Fund

“Manmohan is one of a small number of global experts in this area. He is about the only authoritative source that doesn’t work for one of the major financial institutions and hence can provide an unbiased perspective on some controversial issues.”

Guy Debelle, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia
