The article presents a modern view of understanding of "financial market" concept, as the development of financial technologies gradually influences the change of paradigm of its functioning, new financial institutions, institutions of market infrastructure, financial instruments are emerging, as well as the development of forms of alternative financing. On the base of the systematization, it is determined that the term "financial market" in the current scientific literature is considered from three positions, first as a mechanism of distribution of financial resources, secondly, as a system of economic relations, and thirdly as a set of markets and institutions. As a result of the research on the contrary to the popular opinion that the financial services market and the financial market are two separate markets, it has been substantiated that the financial services market is a part of the financial market, because financial instruments are formed through the provision of financial services. The financial market and the market of financial services have common subjects - financial intermediaries (banks, insurance companies, non-government pension funds, investment funds, etc.), but at the same time the objects of these two markets are different. Financial instruments are objects for financial markets, and services – for the market of financial services. Through the process of financial services providing, financial intermediaries ensure the fulfilment of the basic function of the financial market, which is the redistribution of financial resources in the economy, thereby creating financial assets, liabilities, etc., which is the basis for the formation of financial instruments. Taking into account of the impact of fintech on the development of the financial market, author's definition was presented in this work as a system of financial institutions (market subjects), which create the conditions for transactions with financial instruments of economic agents (market objects) using appropriate infrastructure and financial technologies. Transfer of flows of financial resources in the economy at national, subnational and global levels, adequate assess of financial risks and ability to absorb exogenous and endogenous shocks were determined as a purpose of the functioning of the financial market. Keywords: fintech, financial instruments, financial institutions, financial services market, financial system, financial services..

Islamic financial market in Pakistan comprises of Islamic banking, Takaful and Islamic capital market which has been regulated and supervised by State Bank of Pakistan and Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.Despite the regulatory and supervisory mechanism crafted by these authorities, there are other institutions i.e., The Council of Islamic Ideology, Federal Shariat Court and international institutions such as AAOIFI and IFSB which intervene and influence this practice. Based on descriptive analytical approach, the study finds that there is an overlapping situation in the authority over the business of IFIs. Therefore, it suggests that the current regulatory arrangement needs a distinctive sole authority over the business of Islamic financial institutions in Pakistan supported with adequate legal foundation.

In today's global economy, financial intermediation is an extremely powerful source of financial resources that can be used for investment purposes, since financial intermediaries can combine temporarily free (unused in the economy) financial resources of different business entities and direct them to those sectors of the economy that need investment. At the same time, financial intermediaries simultaneously provide the movement of financial assets and contribute to the development of the economy. It is proved that the objective need for a study of financial intermediation in Ukraine is to establish such a mechanism for the redistribution of financial resources in the country in order to achieve the maximum level of development of the economy both at the micro level and at the macro level. In Ukraine, the process of reforming the economy continues, including the financial market. The main participants in the financial market are financial intermediaries, which bring together buyers and sellers of financial assets. Activities of financial intermediaries in the financial market can be characterized by the fulfillment of the following main functions: accumulation of savings of economic entities; placing of attracted financial resources in the branches of economy; obtaining profit (own, as well as other economic entities); ensuring economic development. We believe that the main purpose of financial intermediaries is to create a balance in the financial market by matching interests and needs of all participants in the financial market and balancing demand and supply on financial resources. The most common is the division of financial intermediaries into banking institutions (banking sector) and non-bank financial institutions (non-banking financial sector). Currently, in Ukraine, banking institutions are represented by universal and specialized commercial banks of Ukraine, and non-bank financial institutions are represented by insurance and financial companies, credit unions and pawnshops, non-state pension funds and trust companies. According to statistics, the banking sector is larger in terms of assets, while the number of financial market participants is dominated by the non-banking financial sector. The analysis carried out shows an increase in the role of non-bank financial institutions in the financial market. Non-financial sector entities are dominated by financial companies. The article outlines the following main problems of the development of financial intermediation entities in Ukraine: the inconsistency of the financial system of Ukraine with the real sector of the economy, as a result of which the non-banking sector of the economy is not able to fully perform its main functions; the presence in the financial market of institutions that practically do not perform the functions assigned to them, thus creating significant risks for the normal functioning of the market; Ineffective legislation and an ineffective system for overseeing the activities of financial intermediaries, which gives rise to distrust of financial institutions; low level of financial literacy of the population. In order to overcome the problems identified and to provide an effective mechanism for the functioning of financial intermediary institutions in Ukraine, it is proposed to: introduce common rules of conduct in the financial market for banks and non-bank financial institutions, but taking into account the specifics of each type of financial intermediary; to intensify activity in the financial market of investment funds, insurance companies and non-state pension funds; Maximize the attraction of the non-banking financial sector to the development of the real sector of the economy; introduce a reliable mechanism for protecting the funds of the population and business entities; to create a service consulting center for the provision of services by non-bank financial institutions. We believe that the outlined directions for solving the problems of the development of financial intermediation create the basis for its further improvement and promote the activation of their effective activity.

The basis for effective implementation of the innovation strategy of the company (regardless of ownership), which will help to reach a new level of competitiveness is the availability of sufficient financial support.
