Non-Banking Financial Institutions

The non-banking institution segment of the financial industry offers considerable potential for long-term growth as well as short-term profits. This segment generally is involved in developing and intermediating longer term sources of finance for rapidly growing corporations, as well as in managing wealth. In accordance with the evolving multi-bank concept, this segment would be separate from the banking system and would include institutions involved in capital markets, insurance, investments and possibly leasing. (Reference should be made to Table 7.5 and related material in Chapter 5.)
