As introduction, what is Financial Market?
Financial markets refer broadly to any marketplace where the trading of securities

1. Role of Money - Moneyis any item or commodity that is generally accepted as a means
of payment for goods and services or for repayment of debt, and that serves as an asset to
its holder. Money is composed of bills and coins which have been printed or minted by the
National Government. Money includes also funds stores as electronic entries in one’s
checking and savings account.

Money is any object that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and
repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context. The main functions
of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value;
and, occasionally, a standard of deferred
payment.https://www.google.com/search?q=money+definition&oq=money+definition&aqs=chrome

Since its invention, money is used to measure the value of any commodity (goods and
services) for easy exchange. It is said, money makes the world go round, which means the
motive to increase possession of more money occur. Money is the energy that allow all
business transactions and events be measured and translated into meaningful information.

d. The Supply and Demand of money- Money facilitate the flow of resources in the
circular model of macroeconomy. Not enough money will slow down the economy, and too
much money can cause inflation because of higher price levels. Monitoring the supply and
demand for money is vital for the economy’s central bank policy, which aims to stabilize
price levels and to support economic growth. (Financial Market and Institutions 2020 edition by
Elenita B. Cabrera)
Money supply refers to the amount of money which is in circulation in an economy at
any given time. Money supply plays a crucial role in the determination of price level and
interest rate. Growth of money supply helps in acceleration of Economic development and
price stability. There must be a controlled expansion of money supply i.e. no inflation or
deflation in the economy. https://www.slideshare.net/dakshbapna/demand-and-supply-of-money
The BangkoSentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is responsible for determining the supply of money. It
uses daily open market operations to influence the creation of money by banks and to
guide the availability of money in the economy. BSP also has impact on the creation of
money by banks through reserve requirements and the discount rate, the interest rate at
which banks can borrow from the BSP as a lender of last resort. Changes in the supply of
money will affect the interest rate and therefore the cost of borrowing money. This will
have an impact on consumption and investment levels in the economy.

Key measures for the Money Supply are:

 M1 – Includes money in circulation held by the nonbank public, demand deposits, other
checkable deposits, and travelers’ checks. Primarily refers to money used as a medium
of exchange.
 M2– In addition to M1, this measure includes money held in savings deposits, money
market deposit accounts, noninstitutional money market, mutual funds and other short-
term money market assets. M@ refers primarily to money used as a store value.
 M3-In addition to M2, this measure includes the financial institutions, refers primarily to
money used as a unit of account.
 L – In addition to M3, this measure includes liquid and near-liquid assets (e.g., short-
term Treasury notes, high-grade commercial paper and bank acceptance notes)

Demand of Money - money is demanded because money serves these purposes:

medium of exchange and store value. There are sources of demand for money, these
are as follows:
 Transaction demand – Money demanded for day-to-day payments through
balances held by households and firms (instead of stocks, bonds or other assets).
This demand varies with GSP, it does not depend on the rate of interest.
Gross Domestic Product, abbreviated as GDP, is the total value of goods and
services produced in a country. GDP in economics: GDP is measured over specific
time frames, such as a quarter or a year. GDP as an economic indicator is used
worldwide to show the economic health of a
country.https://www.google.com/search?q=gdp+meaning&oq=GDP&aqs=chrome.1.0l8.69

 Precautionary demand – Money demanded as a result of unanticipated payments.
This kind of demand varies with GDP.

 Speculative demand – Money demanded because of expectations about interest

rates in the future. This means that people will decide to expand their money
balance and hold off on bond purchases if they expect interest rates to rise. This
kind of demand has a negative relationship with the interest rate.
(Financial Market and Institutions 2020 edition by Elenita B. Cabrera)

The Quantity Theory of money holds

that changes in the money supply MS
directly influences the economy’s price
level. This theory follows from the
equation of exchange.
Where M = quantity of money
V = velocity of money
P = price level
Y or T = real GDP

In monetary economics, the quantity

theory of money states that the general
price level of goods and services is
directly proportional to the amount of
money in circulation, or money supply.

e. Time Value of Money- Interest is defined as the cost of using money over time. Economists
prefer to say that interest represents the time value of money. Use the link below for the
discussion:

f. Interest Rates- An interest rate is the amount of interest due per period, as a proportion of
the amount lent, deposited or borrowed. The total interest on an amount lent or borrowed
depends on the principal sum, the interest rate, the compounding frequency, and the
length of time over which it is lent, deposited or borrowed. Wikipedia
Interest rates link the future to the present. It allows individuals to evaluate the present value (the
value today) of future income and costs. In essence, it is the market price of earlier availability.
(additional topics for discussion)
a. How interest rates are determined
b. Determining the Interest rates
c. Money market equilibrium
d. The nominal or money rate versus the real rate of interest
e. Interest rates and risk
f. The impact of changing interest rates – when interest rates raised; when interest raised are
lowered

Engaging Activities (1): with the enumerated additional topic related to interest rates (a to f) provide at
least four to five sentences each to explain. Need to pass this on the Sept 7, 2022.

2. Overview of the Payment System–A payment system is any system used to settle financial
transactions through the transfer of monetary value. This includes the institutions, instruments,
people, rules, procedures, standards, and technologies that make its exchange
possible. A payment system is a mechanism composed of rules, institutions, people, markets
and organizations that make exchanges of payments possible. It facilitates the transfer of
money from a payor to a payee in order to effect a payment transaction. BSP
Commodity money involves the use of an actual good in place of money (gold coin,
tobacco). Fiat money has no other value than as a medium for exchange; value comes from
government (paper money).
The value of fiat money is based largely on public faith in the issuer. Commodity money's value,
on the other hand, is based on the material it was manufactured with, such as gold or
silver. Fiat money, therefore, does not have intrinsic value, while commodity money often
does.
Commodity money is money whose value comes from a commodity of which it is made.
Commodity money consists of objects having value or use in themselves (intrinsic value) as well
as their value in buying goods.[1] This is in contrast to representative money, which has little or
no intrinsic value but represents something of value, and fiat money, which has value only
because it has been established as money by government regulation. Examples of commodities
that have been used as media of exchange include gold, silver, copper, salt, peppercorns, tea,
decorated belts, shells, alcohol, cigarettes, silk, candy, nails, cocoa beans, cowries and barley.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_money.

Importance of checks - Use of checks in payment or settlement of a specific

transaction is a convenient way. A major innovation in the payment system. Checks are
promises to pay on demand money deposited with a bank or other financial institutions.
Settling transactions with checks require more steps than settling transactions with
currency. There are information costs in using checks – the time and effort required by the
seller to verify whether the issuer has sufficient amount of money the checking account.
BSP supervises the payment system and had come up with desirable outcomes for a
payment system: Security; Efficiency; Speed; Smooth international transaction and
Effective collaboration among participants in the system. Among other payment system
that are currently in use of technologies are 1) Debit cards 2) Credit Cards 3) Proximity
mobile payments 4) Automated Clearing House (ACH) 5) Automated Teller Machine.
