Financial markets

Financial markets can be divided into: money,debt, and equity markets.

Money market

The money market consists of the unsecured and secured ‘cash’ segments and derivatives segments. The money market in a broader sense also includes the market for short-term debt securities.

Debt market

The amount outstanding of euro-denominated short-term debt securities issued by euro area residents totalled around 13% of GDP at the end of 2012, showing a decline compared with the end of 2011. While the outstanding amount of short-term debt securities issued by non-financial corporations in 2012 remained broadly stable, it declined for MFIs. The outstanding amount of short-term debt issued by the public sector decreased slightly in 2012 compared to the previous year.

Equity market

Turning to the equity market, a commonly used indicator of its importance is the market capitalisation of stocks traded in terms of GDP. This indicator, albeit affected by movements in stock prices, shows that the equity market is less important than the debt securities market in the euro area.
