Financial Services
Money is the raw material of the financial system. Money has no value in itself but is thought to be valuable because it represents real goods and services and because it allows people to make transactions, save, borrow and express value.
A market is any place or situation where buyers and sellers come together. Financial intermediaries come together in financial markets and buy and sell a wide range of financial assets or securities. Each market concentrates on a particular type of financial asset.
