Dictionary of Business Terms Arjuna Hulugalle Dictionaries ought to be congratulated for publishing a comprehensive "Dictionary of Business Terms" in two languages - English and Sinhala. As stated in the rear cover of the book it is ideal as a reference dictionary, especially in this age of globalisation, not only for students but also for all those rendering financial services and those involved in financial transactions. A dictionary has been defined as a book that lists (usually in alphabetical order) and explains the words of a language or gives equivalent words in another language. The dictionary of business terms meets these criteria very adequately; the words chosen are pertinent and the explanations accurate, lucid and easily understandable. The printing is excellent and the highlighting of the words is done well. I am informed a better quality of paper was not used in order to keep the cost down and to make the book available to a wide spectrum of students, professionals and practitioners.It is a book that should indeed occupy space as a reference work on the desks and in the libraries of all those providing financial services both in the private and public sectors.
