With governments keeping interest rates lower than they have been in years a recovery signals the potential for increased inflation. High inflation has the potential to erode investment so inflation linked products provide a safer and reliable return. Although the Australian government has started to slowly increase interest rates they have shown the importance of the inflation linked products market with there issuance of a new capital indexed bond mid 2009.

This timely course has been designed to increase understanding of the new developments in the inflation-linked products market. Delegates will gain insight to the global impact of the new issuance and how to establish themselves in this market place. We will also have technical sessions on actually building a swap curve. The government will also present there thoughts on what experience and lessons they have learnt and how they see this market developing. The risks associated with investing in inflation linked products will be a continuing theme throughout the sessions.
