Passage 2

Whereas the money markets provide very short-term loans, the capital market takes account of medium and long-term loans. It serves the needs of industry and commerce, government and lo cal authorities. Private sector firms borrow their working capital (current assets minus cur rent liabilities) from the money market, which used to be mainly via commercial banks; the r ole of banks as middlemen has now diminished, even for the working capital requirements. Pri vate sector firms raise their fixed capital by the issue of shares or commercial paper bonds. Government and local authorities borrow medium and long-term capital by issuing gilt-edged stocks and bands. The main market place for lending and borrowing medium and long-term capit al in the UK is the Stock Exchange in London.
