A Financial Market is a platform where buyers and sellers trade financial assets like stocks, bonds, currencies, and derivatives.
Financial Markets facilitate the flow of funds between investors and borrowers, helping in capital formation and economic growth.
In India, major financial markets operate through institutions like the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange, regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
