The capital market is a place to trade securities issued by institutions and professions related to securities. The research method used was a literature review. The role of the capital market in national economic growth can be seen through its influence on macroeconomic indicators such as the real exchange rate, inflation rate and economic growth as measured by Gross Domestic Product.
