market where short-term financial
instruments are traded. These
instruments typically have
maturities of one year or less,
making them highly liquid.

MONEY MARKET MONEY MARKET
Short-term Liquidity
Management: Helps
businesses, banks, and
governments manage their
short-term financial needs.
Cash Management: Provides a
means for firms and institutions
to park excess cash temporarily
while earning some interest.
Interbank Money Market:
Banks lend to each other to
meet short-term liquidity
needs.
Repo Market: Financial
institutions borrow funds by
selling securities with an
agreement to repurchase
them later.
Functions Market Examples Risk and Return
Low Risk: Since money market
instruments are short-term and
often backed by secure entities
(like governments or large
corporations), they generally
carry low credit risk.
Lower Returns: The trade-off for
lower risk is that the returns
from these instruments are
generally lower compared to
long-term investments.
A capital market is a financial marketplace for the purchase
and sale of securities backed by either equity or long-term
debt. It provides a venue for businesses, governments, and
other organizations to generate capital through the issuance
of bonds, stocks, and other financial instruments for long-
term investments. These funds are supplied by capital market
investors who buy securities in the hope of making profits
from capital gains, dividends, or interest.

investors trade already-existing securities after they are first

Money Market
Interest Rate Changes: A rise in
interest rates in the money market
can make borrowing more
expensive, which can slow economic
activity and reduce demand for
foreign currency.
Inflation Expectations: If the central
bank raises interest rates to combat
inflation, it can also lead to a
stronger domestic currency, as
investors seek to avoid the erosion
of their purchasing power due to
inflation.
Capital Market
Investor Sentiment: Changes in
investor sentiment can drive capital
flows into or out of a country.
Risk Appetite: Global risk appetite
can influence capital flows. When
investors are risk-averse, they may
prefer to invest in safer assets.
Forex Market
Trade Balance: A country with a
trade deficit (imports exceed
exports) may need to sell its
domestic currency to purchase
foreign currency to pay for imports.
Interest Rate Differentials: If a
country's interest rates are higher
than those of its trading partners, it
may attract foreign capital seeking
higher returns. This can strengthen
the domestic currency.
