Understanding the National Financial System

This part delves into the basics of the national financial system, emphasizing its functions and key components.

National Financial System Basics

Financial System Functions and Intermediation

In this section, the speaker discusses the functions of the financial system, focusing on how interest rates impact savings and loans.

Understanding Savings and Loans

• If SELIC is below 8.5%, banks pay lower interest to savers while charging higher rates for loans.

• Credit card interest rates can reach 14% monthly, highlighting the significant difference between what banks pay savers and charge borrowers.

Banking Operations and Spread
