Finance ABC

Welcome back to another episode of Finance ABC! I’m Emma Lai, and today we’re diving into the world of money markets—a key part of the financial system that plays a behind-the-scenes role in keeping the economy running smoothly. Money markets are where short-term borrowing, lending, buying, and selling happen, and they involve some of the safest and most liquid financial instruments out there. Today, we’re going to explore what the money market is, the types of instruments traded there, and who the major participants are. If you’ve ever wondered what a Treasury bill is or how companies handle their short-term financing needs, this episode is for you.
