Question:

Banks mediate between which of the following parties?

Options:

Depositors and Borrowers

Who have surplus funds to those who are in need of funds

Both 1 and 2

Government and People

Correct Answer:

Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Banks make use of the deposits to meet the loan requirements of the people. In this way, banks mediate between those who have surplus funds (the depositors) and those who are in need of these funds (the borrowers). Banks charge a higher interest rate on loans than what they offer on deposits. The difference between what is charged from borrowers and what is paid to depositors is their main source of income.
