Introduction
 The financial system is the mechanism through
which loanable funds reach borrowers.
 Through the operation of the financial markets,
money is exchanged for financial claims in the
form of stocks, bonds, and other securities,
effectively transforming savings into
investment so that production, employment,
and income can grow.

The Creation of Financial Assets
A financial asset is …
 a claim against the income or wealth of a
business firm, household, or unit of
government,
 represented usually by a certificate, receipt,
computer record file, or other legal document,
 and usually created by or related to the lending
of money.

2-6
Characteristics of Financial Assets
 Financial assets are sought after because they
promise future returns to their owners and
serve as a store of value (purchasing power).
McGraw Hill / Irwin

2-7
Characteristics of Financial Assets
 They do not depreciate like physical goods,
and their physical condition or form is usually
not relevant in determining their market value.
 Their cost of transportation and storage is low,
such that they have little or no value as a
commodity.
 Financial assets are fungible – they can easily
be changed in form and substituted for other
assets.

2-8
Different Kinds of Financial Assets
 Any
financial asset that is generally accepted
in payment for the purchases of goods and
services is a form of money. Examples include
currency and checking accounts.
 Equities represent ownership shares in a
business firm and are claims against the firm’s
profits and proceeds from the sale of its assets.
Common stock and preferred stock are
equities.

2-9
Different Kinds of Financial Assets
 Debt
securities entitle their holders to a
priority claim over the holders of equities to
the assets and income of an economic unit.
They are either negotiable or nonnegotiable.
Examples include bonds, notes, accounts
payable, and savings deposits.
 Derivatives have a market value that is tied to
or influenced by the value or return on a
financial asset. Examples include futures
contracts, options, and swaps.

The Creation Process for Financial Assets
 To acquire assets, households and business
firms may use current income and accumulated
savings – internal financing.
 An economic unit may also raise funds by
issuing financial liabilities (debt) or stock
(equities), provided that a buyer can be found
– external financing.

2 - 11
Financial Assets and the Financial System
 The act of borrowing or of issuing new stock
simultaneously gives rise to the creation of an
equal volume of financial assets.
 For example, a $10,000 financial asset held by
a household that had lent money will be
exactly matched by a $10,000 liability of the
business firm that had borrowed the money.
 Volume of financial assets created for lenders
= Volume of liabilities issued by borrowers
McGraw Hill / Irwin

2 - 12
Financial Assets and the Financial System
 For the balance sheet of any economic unit,
Total assets = Total liabilities + Net worth
where assets = real assets + financial assets
 For the whole economy and financial system,
Total financial assets = Total liabilities

So, for the economy as a whole,
Total real assets = Total net worth

Financial Assets and the Financial System
 So, society increases its wealth only by saving
and increasing the quantity of its real assets,
for these assets enable the economy to produce
more goods and services in the future.
 However, the financial system provides the
essential channel necessary for the creation
and exchange of financial assets between
savers and borrowers so that real assets can be
acquired.

Lending and Borrowing in the Financial System
 Economists John Gurley and Edward Shaw
(1960) pointed out that each business firm,
household, or unit of government active in the
financial system must conform to:
R – E = FA – D
where R
E
FA

Lending and Borrowing in the Financial System
 So, for any given period of time, the individual
economic unit falls into one of three groups:
 Deficit-budget unit
(DBU): E > R, D > FA
i.e. net borrower of funds
 Surplus-budget
unit (SBU): R > E, FA > D
i.e. net lender of funds
 Balanced-budget unit
(BBU): R = E, D = FA
i.e. neither net lender nor net borrower

Lending and Borrowing in the Financial System
 The global financial system permits
businesses, households, and governments to
adjust their financial position from that of net
borrower (DBU) to net lender (SBU) and back
again, smoothly and efficiently.

What is Money?
 All financial assets are valued in terms of
money, and flows of funds between lenders
and borrowers occur through the medium of
money.
 Money itself is a true financial asset, because
all forms of money in use today are claims
against some institution, public or private.

The Functions of Money
 Money
serves as a standard of value (or unit of
account) for all goods and services.
 Money serves as a medium of exchange, such
that buyers and sellers no longer need to have
an exact coincidence of wants in terms of
quality, quantity, time, and location.
 Money serves as a store of value – a reserve of
future purchasing power – although the value
of money can experience marked fluctuations.

The Functions of Money
 Money
functions as the only perfectly liquid
asset in the financial system. It exhibits price
stability, ready marketability, and reversibility.

The Value of Money and Other Financial
Assets and Inflation
 Inflation refers to a rise in the average price
level of all goods and services.
 Inflation lowers the value or purchasing power
of money and is a special problem in the
financial markets because it can damage the
value of financial contracts.
 The opposite of inflation is deflation, where
the average level of prices for goods and
services actually declines.

2 - 24
The Value of Money and Other Financial
Assets and Inflation
 Inflation is commonly measured using price
indices, such as:
the Consumer Price Index (CPI),
 the Producer Price Index (PPI), or
 the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Deflator Index.

The Evolution of Financial Transactions
 Financial systems change constantly in
response to shifting demands from the public,
the development of new technology, and
changes in laws and regulations.
 Over time, the ways of carrying out financial
transactions have evolved in complexity.
 In particular, the transfer of funds from savers
to borrowers can be accomplished in at least
three different ways.

Bank-Dominated Versus Security-Dominated
Financial Systems
 Lesser-developed financial systems are often
bank-dominated financial systems, in which
banks and other similar institutions dominate
in supplying credit and attracting savings.
 The more mature systems today are becoming
security-dominated financial systems, in which
traditional intermediaries play lesser roles and
growing numbers of borrowers sell securities
to the public to raise the funds they need.
