Firstly let's know the meaning of finance , it mean
" study of money " relating to Capital ,Lendings,
Borrowings, Investments, Earnings,Savings, Management, and So on many other money related things.
Money refer to assets which have value and generally accepted as medium of exchange
And the meaning of educational enlightenment is a process of learning or teaching a great amount of knowledge.
Systems are generally defined as inter related (or) / and inter Connected activities.
Financial educational enlightenment means the process of "knowing / learning how" the Financial systems are evolved.
Generally Financial systems are evolved based on Market based system or Bank based system,
Sometimes it may be both a Market based and Bank based system.
In the case of the Indian Financial system ,it is evolved based on both market and bank based systems.
Whereas USA & UK Financial systems evolved based on Market based systems.
BUT JAPAN & GERMANY Financial systems evolved based on Bank based systems.
Like so many other countries, financial systems are evolved based on Market based systems or / and Bank based systems.
In Market Based Systems majority of the people invest their Money ( capital money or /& earned money or/& saved money or/& borrowed money) in market' s ( capital markets -Primary markets or/& secondary market's or/& Money Markets) through financial instruments such as equity shares , preference shares , debenture ,bonds, government bonds ,t- bills , and so on other type of financial instruments.
In Market Based systems, Most of time's Market decides the rate of returns on equity,preference shares and interest rates on debentures,bonds ,bills ,and so on ...
Some times ,some industries sectors or some companies outperforms or beats the market rate of return and set's benchmark returns for industries or companies (In Financial terms it is called as ALPHA RETURNS).
Generally Market means where buying & selling take place.
Here Market means where people buy & sell their invested financial instruments according to Demand & Supply of their financial instruments
Generally well performed companies financial instruments have more demand relating to their quantity of supply of their financial instruments in primary/ secondary market.
In case of Indian Financial instruments like equity shares, preference shares, debentures bonds , the market place is recognised stock exchanges like BSE ,(Bombay stock exchange),NSE(National stock exchange) ,IFC (international financial centres) and some other recognised stock exchanges.
Now we can discuss the other type of financial system that is the Bank Based System. In case of a Bank based system the majority of the people invest their money in banks as a saving amount in a savings bank account or/ & as a fixed amount in fixed deposit accounts.
In a Bank based system, Banks decide the rate of interest on saving amounts and fixed deposit amounts as per the norms of central banks of their respective countries.
In case of India it is RBI( Reserve Bank Of INDIA) who regulates the interest rates between RBI and other banks and also regulates the interest rates between banks their customers.
Whereas in the case of USA& UK the central banks are Federal Bank and Bank of England respectively.
For Analysis purpose only ,
If we compare the Market based financial system and Bank based financial to decide which one is better , it's based on the peoples of the Countries governing constitutions, financial education of the peoples, economic , political & social conditions of the countries and some other countries related factors affecting the financial systems.
If we analysis the evolution of Indian financial system , it's Modern (present)evolution started in the year 1947 month of August 15 th day getting independence from British ruled governance,that is after getting independence,
India adopted a democracy as their governing constitution ,but at that time there is no free market, most of the market is controlled by either government or less number of private people because of India adopted socialism police's ,that is most of the market is controlled by government,At that time RBI role in Indian financial system is increased even though it's existence was there before independence.
So in the early days of independent India ,the Indian Financial system adopted a bank based system and the role of the central bank was increased.
After that , In the mid year's of 1980 's in the Indian financial system ,a market based financial system was started, with that few private participation was started.
With the introduction of
LPG(Liberalisation,Privatisation,Globalisation) policy by the government of India in the year 1991 ,the Indian market was opened to Global, with that in the Indian financial system the market based financial system was increased.
From that Indian market based financial system played a more important role in Indian financial than Bank based Financial system in India and it's continued to at present and in future also market based Financial system plays crucial role In the evolution of Indian financial system and in India's growth & development .
Whereas in case of case of USA , their financial system has evolved as a Market based financial system due to their governing factors like democracy where they encouraged free market that is federal (USA) government adopted capitalism (free market) policies from the beginning of their independence and the peoples financial education levels and their people trust on the free market .
Socio -Economic, Political factors of their country and some other favourable conditions made the USA financial system as a Market Based.
In conclusion of the above discussion of evolution of financial systems ,
Financial systems evolution is a continuous process. It keeps on evolving ,so keep on updating to it.
I conclude by saying that in the future cryptos based on block chain technology may take part in financial systems of countries.
