countries, businesses decide what to sell, and in others, the government plays a
bigger role in deciding.
An economic system shows how money moves around in a country's economy. It's

businesses and government are involved in this process. Different economic

the savers (individuals who have extra) and borrowers (individuals who need
money). They play a crucial role in the consciously System by providing services
such as polling funds, assessing credit worthiness and managing risk.
I.e., bank, insurance companies etc.

business. Instead of giving your money to your friend you might feel safer giving it to a
trusted person who can make sure your friend pays you back. This trusted person is like
a middle man helping move money from people who have surplus and give it to the
people who need it. That middle man is called financial Intermediary. It can be a bank, a

FINANCIAL MARKETS
Financial markets are places where people can buy and sell different kinds of
financial assets, like stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. These markets
allow investors to trade these assets, and they play a vital role in connecting those
who have money to invest with those who need capital.
Primary Market: The primary market is a place where new securities (like stocks
and bonds) are initially issued to the public. When a company wants to raise
money by issuing new shares of stock or new bonds, it does so in the primary
market. Investors buy these new securities directly from the company, and the
money goes to the issuing company.
Secondary Markets: Secondary markets is a place where existing securities that
were previously issued in the primary market are bought and sold. These markets
allow investors to trade securities among themselves, without involving the
issuing company. The most common example of a secondary market is the stock
exchange, where shares of publicly traded companies are bought and sold by
investors.
In simple terms, financial markets are where financial assets are bought and sold. The
primary market is where new financial assets are issued to the public for the first time,
while secondary markets are where existing financial assets are traded between
investors.

STOCK
TYPES OF STOCK:
1 Common Stock :
Common stock represents a form of ownership in a corporation. When you hold
common stock, you become a shareholder and own a piece of the company.
This ownership typically comes with voting rights, allowing you to participate in
important corporate decisions at shareholder meetings.
Common stockholders may also receive dividends, which are a portion of the
company's profits distributed to shareholders. However, these dividends are not
guaranteed and can vary depending on the company's performance and
management decisions.
Common stockholders have the potential for capital appreciation, meaning the
value of their shares can increase over time, but they also bear the most risk in
case of financial difficulties or bankruptcy, as they are last in line to receive
assets after debt holders and preferred shareholders.
2 Preferred Stock :
Preferred stock is another form of equity ownership in a corporation, but it differs
significantly from common stock.
Preferred shareholders do not typically, have voting rights or have limited voting
rights, meaning they don't participate in corporate decisions like common
shareholders.
Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive fixed dividends at predetermined
intervals. These dividends must be paid before any dividends are distributed to
common shareholders, making preferred stock a more stable income-generating
investment.
In the event of a company's liquidation, preferred stockholders have a higher
claim on the company's assets compared to common shareholders, providing
some protection .
Preferred stock usually has less potential for capital appreciation compared to
common stock. Some preferred stocks are convertible, which means they can be
exchanged for a specific number of common shares under certain conditions,
providing an opportunity for investors to benefit from potential common stock
gains.
CONCLUSION
COMPOSED BY MR
KHAN
14 CAPITAL MARKETS IN PAKISTAN
common stock provides ownership with voting rights and the potential for higher
returns but comes with more risk and variable dividends. Preferred stock, on the other
hand, offers a stable income stream with fixed dividends, higher asset claim in
liquidation, but generally lacks voting rights and may have limited capital appreciation
potential. Investors choose between these two types of stock based on their financial
goals, risk tolerance, and income preferences.

Limited Liquidity: Unlike savings or checking accounts, CDs tie up your money for a
fixed period. Early withdrawals may result in penalties and loss of interest.
Opportunity Cost: Since CD rates are fixed, you may miss out on potentially higher
returns if market interest rates rise during your CD's term.
Inflation Risk: If the interest rate on your CD is lower than the inflation rate, your
purchasing power may decrease over time.
Minimum Deposit: Many CDs require a minimum deposit, which might be higher
than what's required for other types of accounts.
Penalty for Early Withdrawal: If you need to access your funds before the CD
matures, you'll likely incur penalties, which can eat into your returns.
Interest Income Taxation: You'll need to pay taxes on the interest earned from CDs,
potentially reducing your overall returns.
Ultimately, the suitability of CDs depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and
need for liquidity. They can be a valuable part of a diversified investment portfolio but

including financial investments. It involves the chance that the actual outcome will
differ from what is expected. In finance, risk can take many forms, such as market
risk (fluctuations in asset prices), credit risk (the likelihood of borrowers defaulting
on loans), and operational risk (risks associated with internal processes and
systems).
Credit Risk:
Credit risk, also known as default risk, is the risk that a borrower or issuer of debt
securities (like bonds) will fail to make interest payments or repay the principal
amount as agreed. It's a key concern for lenders and investors because it can lead

difference between the terms at which it borrows and those at which it lends
forms the source of its profit A bank thus, is a profit earning institute.
According to Crowther, "A bank is a firm which collects money from those who
have it spare. It lends money to those who require it."
In the words of
Mr. Parking. "A bank is a firm that takes deposits from households and firms and
makes loans to other households and firms".
FUNCTIONS:
A commercial bank performs a variety of functions. These functions are classified
under two main heads (1) Basic Functions and (2) Secondary Functions
1. BASIC FUNCTIONS:
The basic functions of a commercial bank are (a) accepting of deposits and (b)
advancing of money
(A) Accepting of Deposits:
The first important function of a bank is to accept deposits from these who can
save but cannot make profitable use of their savings themselves, in order to
attract the savings from different persons and institutions, the bank maintains the
following three types of accounts
i. Current Account: The businesses and traders usually maintain their funds in
current account Current account is one where money is constantly being drawn
out and put in Since the money is withdrawable at anytime by the customer
therefore, the banks usually do not pay interest on current deposits Current
account holders receive a cheque book and regular statements containing details
of money paid in and paid
ii. Saving Account: The aim of this account is to encourage and mobilize savings of
the people Saving account is generally opened by persons of small income. The
banks pay interest on this type of deposits However the banks normally place
restrictions on their frequent withdrawal
iii. Fixed Deposit Account: Fixed deposits are kept with the banks for a specified
period of time. The rate of interest on fixed deposit (also called term deposits) are
fairly high. The longer the period of deposit, the higher is the interest rate.

Monopoly of Note Issue One of the very important functions of the early banks
which to issue their own notes This led to much confusion and widespread
distress among the people because banks began to over issue notes They could
not honour the cheques drawn upon them and so they were put to trouble many
times The history of note issuing banks in the early periods of banking
development is a long record of failures because they could not keep adequate
resources against the deposits When over long years experience it was found that
the business of note issue could not be discharged by the commercial banks, it
was finally handed over to the chief bank of the country the Central Bank in every
country of the world now the central bank has the sole right o note issue The
concentration of note
ADVANTAGES:
1. Uniformity In Note Circulation: It brings uniformity in the circulation of currency
2. Control Over Money Supply: The central bank is in a better position to exercise
control over the money supply in the country
3. Control Over Commercial Banks: The sole power to issue notes enables the
central bank to control the lending operations of the commercial banks
4. Public Confidence: The right of note issue is regulated by law Therefore
increases public confidence in the monetary system of the country

other is named as Banking Principle Both these principles are contradictory to
each other.

According to the currency principle, the central bank of the country should keep

The advocates of this principle of note issue are of the view that the currency
under this system will expand or contract as it would have expanded or contracted
under the metallic money The currency principle assures maximum safety for the
notes Those who oppose this principle assert that the system no doubt gives
safety to the currency but it lacks elasticity The supply of notes is tied down to the
supply of gold available in the country This system also fails to take into
consideration the commercial banks power to create credit
