Topic: FINANCE FOR GROWTH

Description: Finance for growth is an off-shoot of Financial Economics. Considering this concept, financial system is expected to mobilise savings for investment with strong regulatory framework. The system is expected to perform the major functions which include mobilising and pooling savings, monitoring investment and exerting corporate governance after providing finance, facilitating the trading, diversification and management of risk, producing ex ante information about possible investment and allocate capital and so on and so forth. Finance for growth supports the idea of widening access to external finance but however warns that bigger is not necessarily better. It therefore focuses on effectiveness but not size. It warns against too rapid credit growth. In this regard, the concept of finance for growth says it is better to build a solid infrastructure than to aim for a particular structure. According to the concept of finance for growth, it is more essential to obtain access to financial services than who provides them. It maintains that the government should improve on the transparency of the supervisory process. Government and private sector can complement each other in building regulatory infrastructure but enforcement is the key.
