A financial environment is a part of an economy with the major players being firms, investors, and markets. Essentially, this sector can represent a large part of a well-developed economy as individuals who retain private property have the ability to grow their capital. Firms are any business that offer goods or services to consumers. Investors are individuals or businesses that place capital into businesses for financial returns. Markets represent the financial environment that makes this all possible.

A financial environment can exist anywhere so long as the major players exist in the economy. Newer markets tend to have fewer resources and lower levels of economic activity due to their lack of resources. The financial environment is also subject to the business cycle, which dictates the stages of growth and decline in the economy.
