Economic area links with finance area very close. In order to make a good prediction on exchange rate, I must absorb new information everyday. It can open up my mind and teach me a lot. For example, I pay more attention on economic news, I always go to bookshop to watch “time” “business weekly” magazines, and read NZ Herald everyday, after I start this work, I knew how to think critically on economic incidents, and try to find the relevant relationship between the incidents and my work.

To sum up,   I have improved myself comprehensively by learning knowledge from other functional areas. The majority of knowledge I learnt from university was finance knowledge, Co-Op paper gives me this chance to get in touch with other knowledge, and I will get benefit from them in the future.

The description of the sector/industry Dong Ping Finance belongs to:

As the research shows “Money has been around in one form or another since the time of Pharaohs” it is a traditional business with thousand years old history. The major currencies in the world today can move independently from one to another, a currency can be traded by anyone, therefore, the speculation and arbitrage exists by banks, brokers, finance service companies or some dealers.
