Capital Market

What is Capital Market?

A capital market is a financial market that is used for the buying and selling of long-term debt or equity-backed securities. It is a financial market that provides long-term funding for public and private sector organizations. The capital market includes the stock market and the bond market. In the stock market, investors can buy and sell stocks of publicly traded companies. In the bond market, investors can buy and sell bonds issued by governments and corporations

Capital markets play a vital role in the economy by providing a way for companies to raise the capital they need to fund operations and grow. They also provide investors with an opportunity to earn a return on their investment by buying securities that represent ownership in a company or a claim on its future earnings.

There are many different types of capital market instruments that can be traded, including common stock, preferred stock, bonds, debentures, and derivatives. The specific instruments that are traded in a capital market depend on the market’s size, the types of investors that participate, and the regulations that govern the market.
