Finance

Finance is the field that deals with the study and management of money, investments, and other financial instruments. It encompasses the processes of acquiring, spending, and investing funds, and includes understanding how financial markets operate. Finance can be divided into three main categories: personal finance, which involves managing individual or household financial activities; corporate finance, which focuses on the financial activities of businesses, including their capital structure and funding strategies; and public finance, which deals with the financial operations of governments and public entities. The primary objectives of finance are to maximize value, ensure liquidity, manage risks, and facilitate economic growth through informed decision-making and strategic allocation of resources.
