Finance refers to the management, creation, and study of money, investments, and other financial instruments. It encompasses a broad range of activities including budgeting, saving, lending, borrowing, investing, and forecasting. Finance is concerned with how individuals, businesses, and governments raise and allocate their resources over time, often under conditions of uncertainty. It can be divided into three main categories: personal finance, which involves managing individual or household budgets; corporate finance, which deals with how businesses manage their financial resources and investments; and public finance, which focuses on government revenue and expenditure.
