Financial Markets: The term “financial market” is one of the most commonly used terms in the field of economics, and hardly a study, research, publication, or economic journal is devoid of this term, as the capital market represents a mirror of the economy of any country.

Instead of tracking the performance of each sector in a country to identify the economic situation in it, a look at the performance of the money market gives an overview of the economy and its impact and influence on the economic, political and social variables in the country, as the money market reflects the impact of government economic policies, political decisions and the performance of different sectors (agricultural, industrial, service and others) on the economy.

In addition to the above, the money market is considered to the economy as the arteries of the body, without it it is difficult to imagine the movement of funds between the owners of financial surpluses and those with deficits, and between the applicants and the financiers, where the financial market can allocate funds in a way as a category by providing information, and through risk management and reducing moral risks. and reduce information asymmetry.

In light of the above, this booklet aims to make this important concept in the world of finance and business (financial markets) accessible and helps to understand its meaning and its role in the economy.
