Abstract

This paper explores the critical role that commercial banks play in the development and deepening of capital markets, particularly in both emerging and developed economies. Capital markets are essential mechanisms for mobilizing long-term funds, fostering investment, and supporting sustainable economic growth. While traditionally perceived as institutions focused on deposit-taking and lending, commercial banks have increasingly expanded their functions to include underwriting of securities, management of investment portfolios, and facilitation of financial intermediation between investors and issuers.
