банки

“Банки” is the plural form of the Russian word “банк,” which translates to “banks” in English. In this context, it refers to financial institutions that engage in accepting deposits from the public, providing loans, and facilitating various financial services. Banks play a crucial role in the economy by acting as intermediaries between savers and borrowers, enabling currency exchange, and offering services such as investment management, insurance, and wealth management. They can be classified into different types, including commercial banks, investment banks, and central banks, each serving distinct functions within the financial system.
