1. FINANCIAL MARKETS: STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN THE FINANCIALSYSTEMMini contents The structure of a financial system Functions of a financial system The structure and key features of financial markets The key features of financial intermediaries Major financial market participants1.1. Financial system structure and functionsThe financial system plays the key role in the economy by stimulating economic growth,influencing economic performance of the actors, affecting economic welfare. This isachieved by financial infrastructure, in which entities with funds allocate those funds tothose who have potentially more productive ways to invest those funds. A financial systemmakes it possible a more efficient transfer of funds. As one party of the transaction maypossess superior information than the other party, it can lead to the information asymmetryproblem and inefficient allocation of financial resources. By overcoming the informationasymmetry problem the financial system facilitates balance between those with funds toinvest and those needing funds.According to the structural approach, the financial system of an economy consists ofthree main components:1) financial markets;2) financial intermediaries (institutions);3) financial regulators.Each of the components plays a specific role in the economy.According to the functional approach, financial markets facilitate the flow of funds inorder to finance investments by corporations, governments and individuals. Financialinstitutions are the key players in the financial markets as they perform the function ofintermediation and thus determine the flow of funds. The financial regulators perform therole of monitoring and regulating the participants in the financial system.Stock marketFirmsBond marketShort term fixed securities marketFigure 1.

Some financialinstruments are called securities and generally include stocks and bonds.Any transaction related to financial instrument includes at least two parties:1) the party that has agreed to make future cash payments and is called the issuer;2) the party that owns the financial instrument, and therefore the right to receive thepayments made by the issuer, is called the investor.Financial assets provide the following key economic functions. they allow the transfer of funds from those entities, who have surplus fundsto invest to those who need funds to invest in tangible assets; they redistribu
