Finance

Finance refers to the management of money and investments, involving the processes of acquiring funds, allocating resources, and planning expenditures in order to achieve specific financial goals. It encompasses various activities, including budgeting, saving, lending, investing, and risk management. Finance can be divided into personal finance, focusing on individual or household management; corporate finance, which deals with financial activities within businesses; and public finance, concerning government expenditures and taxation. Effective finance seeks to maximize the value and sustainability of assets while minimizing costs and risks.
