Sistema Financiero Mexicano

Abstract

The financial system plays a central role in the functioning and development of the economy. It is mainly composed of different intermediaries and financial markets, through which a variety of instruments mobilize savings towards their most productive uses. Banks are perhaps the best-known financial intermediaries, since they directly offer their services to the public and form a central part of the payment system. However, many other intermediaries and organizations that offer highly useful services to society participate in the financial system.
