Thesis Abstract

Financial intermediation plays a critical role in the economy by facilitating the flow of funds between savers and borrowers. This study aims to analyze the relationship between financial intermediation and resource mobilization, focusing on how financial institutions act as intermediaries to channel funds from savers to borrowers. The research will investigate various financial intermediaries such as banks, credit unions, and non-bank financial institutions to understand their mechanisms for mobilizing resources. By examining the functions and roles of these intermediaries, the study seeks to provide insights into how they contribute to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of financial markets. Furthermore, the study will explore the impact of financial intermediation on economic growth and development. By analyzing data on the level of financial intermediation in different economies, the research aims to determine the extent to which efficient intermediation can promote investment, entrepreneurship, and overall economic prosperity. The research will also consider the regulatory environment surrounding financial intermediation and its implications for resource mobilization. By examining regulatory frameworks governing financial institutions, the study will assess how regulations impact the ability of intermediaries to mobilize resources and allocate funds efficiently. Additionally, the study will investigate the role of technology in financial intermediation and its influence on resource mobilization. With the rise of financial technology (fintech) and digital platforms, the research will explore how technological advancements are changing the landscape of financial intermediation and enabling new forms of resource mobilization. Through a comprehensive analysis of financial intermediation and resource mobilization, this study aims to contribute to the existing literature on financial markets and economic development. By shedding light on the mechanisms through which funds are channeled from savers to borrowers and the impact of intermediation on economic outcomes, the research seeks to provide valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and investors. In conclusion, the study of financial intermediation and resource mobilization is essential for understanding the dynamics of financial markets and their role in promoting economic growth. By examining the functions, roles, and impacts of financial intermediaries, this research aims to enhance our knowledge of how funds are mobilized and allocated in the economy, ultimately contributing to the development of more efficient and effective financial systems.
