15) How do financial intermediaries play an important role in the economy?

Answer:  Financial intermediaries play an important role in the economy because they provide liquidity services, they lower transaction costs through economies of scale, they reduce the risk exposure of investors through risk sharing, and they solve the asymmetric information problems of adverse selection and moral hazard. By doing this, they allow small savers and borrowers to benefit from the existence of financial markets and its instruments. They also improve economic efficiency because they help financial markets to channel funds from lenders-savers to people with productive investment opportunities.
