1. Help in the Establishment and Expansion of Industry and Commerce:

Industrial and commercial establishments require fixed capital for establishment, expansion, and maintenance. Capital markets provide all these necessary funds. However, as the nature of the companies in this market is different, their working methods are also different. For example, although the stock market included in the capital market does not directly provide capital, they facilitate the investment of capital in business by creating the opportunity to buy and sell shares, debentures, and government bonds. Therefore, the importance of the capital market in the establishment or expansion of the country's industry, and business is immense.

Expanded capital market activity leads to competition in industry and commerce. This competition helps in building alliances. As a result, small inefficient firms cannot survive and only efficient companies can use the country's resources efficiently.

Investments are regularly traded in the capital market. If the investor is not able to collect money by selling the investment, then he does not feel motivated to invest.
