Understanding Financial Securities
Overview
Financial securities are instruments that help individuals and institutions invest and save money. While bankers do invest in securities, including some foreign ones, most investments remain domestic, ensuring local economic growth.
Managing Bank Accounts
Savers typically don’t accumulate large balances in their bank accounts. Instead, they maintain a current account for daily transactions, using cash or cheques. They may also have a deposit account, which requires notice before withdrawal but earns interest.
Most people keep deposit accounts for quick access to funds, especially for business purposes. Once individuals feel comfortable with their bank balance, they often invest surplus funds in securities on the Stock Exchange. This is a key method for international finance operations.
What are Securities?
Securities include stocks, shares, and bonds issued to those who invest in companies or loans by governments and public entities. Government and public entity securities are often simpler than those from companies.
Government Borrowing
Governments borrow money to fund projects like railways, canals, harbors, land improvements, or irrigation. These projects, called reproductive, can often generate enough revenue to cover the interest on the debts incurred. They also boost the country’s wealth production.
In contrast, the UK government has minimal debt linked to reproductive assets, relying on private enterprise for national development. Revenue sources include the Post Office, Crown lands, and some political investments like shares in the Suez Canal. Governments may also borrow when tax revenue falls short of expenditures, especially during wars or arms races.
Dead-Weight Debt
Debts incurred for national defense or wartime efforts are known as dead-weight debts. These do not directly or indirectly increase the country’s production capacity. Such debts are justified as they concern future generations, who should share the financial responsibility for national safety.
Overall, understanding financial securities and governmental borrowing strategies is crucial for personal finance and economic stability.
