Introduction
 The financial system is the collection of
markets, institutions, laws, regulations, and
techniques through which bonds, stocks, and
other securities are traded, interest rates are
determined, and financial services are
produced and delivered around the world.

Introduction
 The primary task of the financial system is to
move scarce loanable funds from those who
save to those who borrow to buy goods and
services and to make investments in new
equipment and facilities, so that the global
economy can grow and the standard of living
can increase.

Flows within the Global Economic System
 The basic function of the economic system is to
allocate scarce resources – land, labor,
management skill, and capital – to produce the
goods and services needed by society.
 The global economy generates a flow of
production in return for a flow of payments.
 The circular flow of production and income is
interdependent and never ending.

The Role of Markets in the Global Economic System
 In most economies around the world, markets
carry out the complex task of allocating
resources and producing goods and services.
 The marketplace determines what goods and
services will be produced and in what
quantities through their prices.
 Markets also distribute income by rewarding
superior producers with increased profits,
higher wages, and other economic benefits.

1-9
Types of Markets
 There are essentially three types of markets
within the global economic system.
 The factor markets allocate the factors of
production to the owners of productive
resources.
 Consuming units use most of their income
from factor markets to purchase goods and
services in product markets.

Types of Markets
 The
financial markets channel savings to those
individuals and institutions needing more
funds for spending than are provided by their
current incomes.

The Financial Markets and the Financial System:
Channel for Savings and Investment
 The financial markets make possible the
exchange of current income for future income
and the transformation of savings into
investment so that production, employment,
and income can grow.
 The suppliers of funds to the financial system
can expect not only to recover their original
funds but also to earn additional income as a
reward for waiting and for assuming risk.

Functions Performed by the Global Financial System
and the Financial Markets
 Savings function. The global system of
financial markets and institutions provides a
conduit for the public’s savings.
 Wealth function. The financial instruments sold
in the money and capital markets provide an
excellent way to store wealth.
 Liquidity function. Financial markets provide
liquidity for savers who hold financial
instruments but are in need of money.

Functions Performed by the Global Financial System
and the Financial Markets
 Risk protection function. The financial markets
around the world offer businesses, consumers,
and governments protection against life,
health, property, and income risks.
 Policy function. The financial markets are a
channel through which governments may
attempt to stabilize the economy and avoid
inflation.

Types of Financial Markets
Within the Global Financial System
 The money market is for short-term (one year
or less) loans, while the capital market
finances long-term investments by businesses,
governments, and households.
 In particular, governments borrow from
commercial banks in the money market, while
in the capital market, insurance companies,
mutual funds, security dealers, and pension
funds supply the funds for businesses.

Types of Financial Markets
Within the Global Financial System
 The money market may be subdivided into
Treasury bills, certificates of deposit (CDs),
bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper,
federal funds and Eurocurrencies.
 The capital market may be subdivided into
mortgage loans, tax-exempt (municipal) bonds,
consumer loans, Eurobonds and Euronotes,
corporate stock, and corporate notes and
bonds.

Types of Financial Markets
Within the Global Financial System
 In open markets, financial instruments are sold
to the highest bidder, and they can be traded as
often as is desirable before they mature.
In negotiated markets, the instruments are sold
to one or a few buyers under private contract.
 Financial capital is raised when newly issued
securities are sold in the primary markets.
Security trading in the secondary markets then
provides liquidity for the investors.

Types of Financial Markets
Within the Global Financial System
 In the spot market, assets or financial services
are traded for immediate delivery (usually
within two business days).
 Contracts calling for the future delivery of
financial instruments are traded in the futures
or forward market.
 Contracts granting the right to buy or sell
certain securities at specified prices within a
certain period are traded in the options market.

Factors Tying All Financial Markets Together
 Credit, the Common Commodity. The shifting
of borrowers among markets helps to weld the
parts of the global financial system together
and to bring the credit costs in the different
markets into balance with one another.
 Speculation and Arbitrage. Speculators who
watch for profitable arbitrage opportunities
help to maintain consistent prices among the
markets.

Factors Tying All Financial Markets Together
 Perfect and Efficient Markets. There is some
research evidence suggesting that financial
markets are closely tied to one another due to
their near perfection and efficiency.
 In the real world however, market imperfection
and information asymmetry exist.

The Dynamic Financial System
 The global financial system is rapidly
changing.
 In particular, there are trends toward the
deregulation of financial institutions and
services, the harmonization of regulations, and
global integration, leading to more intense
competition as well as the development of new
financial services.
