Cevap

It provides long-term investment funds while operating without the authority to accept demand deposits or issue cheques
Non-bank financial intermediaries (such as development banks, insurance firms, and pension funds) mobilize long-term financial resources for project development and capital formation. However, they lack banking licenses to operate checking/demand deposit accounts or create money through cheque clearing systems.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary economic function of non-bank financial intermediaries (NBFIs)
NBFIs (such as development banks, building societies, and pension funds) specialize in pooling long-term savings and allocating funds toward long-term capital investments.
Understanding the institutional purpose of NBFIs helps differentiate them from deposit-taking banks.
2
Compare the deposit-taking and payment-clearing powers of NBFIs against commercial banks
Unlike commercial banks, NBFIs cannot open checking/demand deposit accounts for the public or process cheque settlements through clearinghouses.
This functional boundary is the fundamental distinction between NBFIs and commercial banks.
