Financial Markets and Institutions
1. Introduction
• 𝑌 = 𝐶 + 𝐼 + 𝐺 + (𝑋 – 𝑀)
o Y: GDP
o C: Consumption spending (on goods & services) by households
o I: Investments by business and households
o G: Government purchases of goods & services
o X – M: Export – Import = Net Export
• 𝑌 − 𝑇 = 𝐶 + 𝐼 + 𝐺 – 𝑇 + (𝑋 – 𝑀)
• 𝑌 − 𝑇 – 𝐶 = 𝐼 + (𝐺 – 𝑇) + (𝑋 – 𝑀)
• 𝑆 = 𝐼 + (𝐺 – 𝑇) + (𝑋 – 𝑀)
o 𝑌−𝑇−𝐶 = 𝑆
How to get the surplus (savings) to where it is needed (debt in all its forms + equity)?

→ This is determined endogenously: institutions change ‘automatically’

• Financial plumbing of the economy

Endogenous system:

• Time dependent
• Geography dependent (there is no unified system in the EU!)

2 countries: A & B




• Starting point: money in the hands of economic agents (consumers, corporations,
governments, institutional players).
• This money is used to transact (buying or selling). Therefore financial intermediaries
and/or auctions (exchanges/capital markets) are necessary just as payment systems.
• These payment systems (settlement mechanisms, like for instance Euroclear for
securities) are currently going through an important change because of financial and
technical innovations (Fin. Tech. evolutions).
