In other words, if the funds can be allocated to the fund demanders effectively, it has an increasing effect on the investment amount.

Individuals can be fund demanders in many different ways. First of all, they aim to start a new business. In other words, they think that they can earn a significant amount of income with their entrepreneurial spirit. However, they may not have enough money in order to reach this objective. In this circumstance, they demand money from third parties. Hence, it is obvious that by having an effective working financial system, the individuals, who aim to start business, can reach the money easily and it has a contributing factor on investment in the countries (Naczyk and Hassel, 2019).

In addition to the individuals who aim to start a new business, there may also some individuals that need money to satisfy their personal needs. For example, some individuals aim to become the owner of a house, but they may not have enough money for this purpose. Moreover, some other individuals may want to purchase new furniture. As it can be seen they demand this money from the financial intermediaries. In this case, the funds coming from fund suppliers can satisfy the needs of these individuals (Muda, 2017; Li et al., 2019).
