Which sector collects savings from households and provides investment to firms?
Correct Answer:
Finance sector
Explanation:
The key idea is financial intermediation: saving from households is collected and then channeled into investment for firms through the finance sector. Households deposit money in banks, contribute to pension funds, and buy insurance reserves—all forms of saving. The finance sector pools these funds and provides them to businesses by making loans, issuing bonds, or selling equity, enabling firms to invest in capital, equipment, and expansion. This intermediary role—bringing together savers and borrowers—is why the finance sector is the one that collects savings and supplies investment to firms.
