Capital markets are the financial arenas where long-term funds are raised and invested. Think of them as the circulatory system of the economy, channeling savings and investments between those who have capital (suppliers like banks and investors) and those who need it (demanders like businesses, governments, and individuals). These markets facilitate the buying and selling of financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, and other long-term securities. The primary purpose of capital markets is to allocate resources efficiently, enabling businesses to fund growth and innovation, and governments to finance public projects, ultimately contributing to economic development.
