What do we mean by markets?

• Market -  Any formal or informal structure (not necessarily a physical space) in which buyers and sellers exchange goods, labour or services for cash or other goods. The word ‘market’ can simply mean the place in which good or services are exchanged.

• Market system -  A market system is a network of market actors, many

buyers and sellers – not only one chain – supported by infrastructure and services, interacting within a context of institutions or rules that shape the actors’ trading environment
