Capital Markets

Capital Markets refer to financial markets where long-term debt or equity-backed securities are bought and sold. These markets are essential for channeling investment into businesses and governments, thereby promoting economic growth and development. They provide platforms for companies to raise capital, either through issuing bonds or securities, which can be traded by investors. Capital markets encompass a wide range of financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, and other long-term investments. By effectively allocating resources, capital markets contribute to the stability and efficiency of the financial system. They play a crucial role in determining the cost of capital, influencing corporate growth and expansion strategies.
