What is a Financial Glossary?

A Financial Glossary is a comprehensive list or directory that provides definitions, explanations, and interpretations of financial terms and concepts. It serves as a reference tool for individuals, investors, students, and professionals to understand better the language used in finance, economics, investing, and accounting.

A well-organized financial glossary can be invaluable for clarifying complex terms, aiding financial planning, and enhancing financial literacy. It is often organized alphabetically and may be divided into categories for easier navigation, such as budgeting, investing, or banking terms.
