Q1. Intermediation is the process of linking savers of money with those who are in need of money. Explain the
intermediation process of banks.
(explanation of intermediation process- 5 marks; role played by banks-5 marks) 10 marks
Answer : Intermediation process :
A situation in which a financial institution stands between counterparties in a transaction. For example, in the sale
of a house, a bank usually serves as a financial intermediary by providing a mortgage to the buyer to pay the seller.
In some non-traditional transactions, a bank may buy a product (e.g. corn) and immediately re-sell it for a profit to
a third party. Most transactions requiring a loan to one of the parties include intermediation.
Importance :
Financial intermediation is so important because banks are responsible for most of the financing that occurs in
economies. Although it seems risky to give one person's money to someone else while it is not being used,

capital markets and giving advice on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This may involve subscribing investors to a
security issuance, coordinating with bidders, or negotiating with a merger target. Another term for the investment
banking division is corporate finance, and its advisory group is often termed mergers and acquisitions.

Equities are a type of security that represents the ownership in a company. Equities are traded (bought and sold) in
stock markets. Alternatively, they can be purchased via the Initial Public Offering (IPO) route, i.e. directly from the
company. Investing in equities is a good long-term investment option as the returns on equities over a long time
horizon are generally higher than most other investment avenues. However, along with the possibility of greater
returns comes greater risk.

1. Foreign banks are required to bring an assigned capital of US$25 million up front at the time of opening the first

officers and knowledgeable business owners all use financial ratio analysis to learn more about a company’s
current financial health as well as its potential.
