SAVINGS.
It includes all activities involved in the
transformation of SAVINGS into
INVESTMENTS.
Financial Services can also be called
Financial Intermediation.
8/10/2019 Module 1 - Overview of Financial System - UAE
27/44
Financial services Financial intermediaries provide key financial services such as merchant
banking, leasing hire purchases, credit-rating, and so on.
Financial services rendered by the financial intermediaries bridge the gap
between lack of knowledge on the part of investors and increasing
sophistication of financial instruments and markets.
These financial services are vital for creation of firms, industrial expansion,
and economic growth. Before investors lend money, they need to be reassured that it is safe to
exchange securities for funds. This reassurance is provided by the financial
regulator, who regulates the conduct of the market, and intermediaries to
protect the investors interests. The Reserve Bank of India regulates the
money market and Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulates
capital market.
