Financial markets play a key role
Today's economies depend on activity and growth in the business sector and hence on people, plans and capital. Companies get most of the capital they need from investors. In an open, decentralised and free economy, the financial market (or "capital market") is the place where companies seeking financing meet people and organisations with surplus funds.
The financial market is the link between large-scale economic projects and the investment community. Nowadays, everything takes place on a global scale. Companies obtain the wherewithal to finance their plans, while professional and individual investors find uses for their money.
The financial market is the engine that drives the entire economic system: it is where the system draws its strength and where its key players find the most appropriate solutions for their needs.
