CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The term financial institution the general believe of people that one is referring to a particular place where buyers and sellers meet to transact business with one another. Whereas some people are of the opinion that financial institution needs not to be a physical meeting place but instead a consensus of mind over buying and selling of valuable terms, based on both opinions expressed above, one can deduce that to strike a bargain or a deal, there is the need to bring together a seller and a buyer. In other words, there is the need to bring someone with surplus funds or commodities together with another deficit funds or commodities. As we have commodity market where people exchange their merchandise for money so also we have financial market where people exchange their surplus funds for financial instruments.
