berza

Berza refers to a financial market where securities, such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives, are bought and sold. These markets facilitate the trading of ownership in public companies, debt issued by governments or corporations, and contracts whose value is derived from an underlying asset. The primary function of a berza is to provide a regulated and transparent platform for investors to trade. This allows companies to raise capital by issuing shares and enables investors to participate in the growth of these companies or earn income from fixed-interest investments.

Berza operate through various mechanisms, often involving brokers who act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. Prices on the berza are determined by the forces of supply and demand, with fluctuating values reflecting market sentiment, economic conditions, and company-specific news. Major stock exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, are well-known examples of berza. These institutions play a crucial role in the global economy by facilitating investment, price discovery, and capital allocation. Regulations are typically in place to ensure fair trading practices and protect investors from fraud.
