Operating Mechanism Of Financial System And Financial Risks

According to Hacioglu & Dincer (2009), a financial system is the environment that provides cash flow in order for a country’s economy to systematically maintain its continuity. Persons that derive profit may choose not to spend in certain circumstances, which enables them have the opportunity to achieve savings. Apart from this, there are also debtors who are bound to spend; these are, in other words, those who demand funds. The aim of the system is to help transfer funds from those who have fund surplus to those with funding gaps. During this exchange process, one party lends money while the other borrows it. The borrower demands a bill of debt which specifies under which conditions it will be borrowed and when the debt will be paid. In the event that the funds change hands, financial assets will change hands as well.

Solutions should be sought by taking into consideration how the financial system should be. Therefore, growth is supported by increasing investment instruments and capital accumulation, allocating resources equally and providing economic stability via carrying out various comparisons among the economic indicators of countries.

Information, along with technological developments, lowers costs and secures economic progress and development.
