Document Summary

Chapter 26: saving, investment, and the financial system. Financial system - group of institutions in the economy that help to match one person"s saving with another person"s investment. When a country saves a large part of its gdp, more resources are available for investment in capital, and higher capital raises a country"s productivity and living standard. Savers supply their money to the financial system with the expectation that they will get it back with interest at a later date. Borrowers demand money from the financial system with the knowledge that they will be required to pay it back with interest later. Financial markets - institutions through which a person who wants to save can directly supply funds to a person who wants to borrow. Most important financial markets in our economy are bond market and stock market. Bond - a certificate of indebtedness that specifies the obligations of the borrower to the holder of the bond.
