Derivatives are financial market products whose values are derived from an underlying or group of underlyings, which can be bonds, stocks, commodities, precious metals, market indices, interest rates, etc. As a risk management tool, derivatives present a useful risk management tool for implementing risk mitigation or hedging strategies against financial risks, while also representing an alternative investment asset class, useful for pursuing cost-friendly diversification and investment strategies.<\/p>\n

In the broader financial markets, they play a vital role in the supporting price discovery, competitiveness and market efficiency which helps attract capital flows, reduce cost of capital and deepen the financial markets, in support of economic development.<\/p>\n
