 What is It

Non-state institutions refer to institutions that are organized by private individuals or

groups for the purpose of providing services to the members of society. These institutions are
not controlled by the government but are regulated through laws and statutes of the state.
There are non-state institutions that play vital roles in the economy because they are
the ones providing the needs of the people that the government cannot provide. However, a
corresponding price or payment is needed in exchange for their services.
Typical examples are different kinds of financial institutions, specifically a bank, and
different kinds of business organizations, specifically a corporation.
Trade unions and cooperatives have the primary role of promoting labor welfare and
good industrial relations. Trade unions and cooperatives are organizations comprising workers
and laborers with common goals, purposes, and interests. They mostly concern employment
relations, decency, and welfare
Financial institutions are organizations that serve as bridges or intermediaries that
facilitate the flow of money in various transactions. This means that financial institutions serve
as links between the source of funds, the depositor, the fund user, and the borrower.
Banks receive savings and deposits of their clients. These may be loaned out to
borrowers.
Example:

Juan dela Cruz has PhP 10,000.00, which he has saved from his salary as a manager.
He deposits it at Maharlika Bank, which offers a 2% interest per annum. This would
mean that if he does not withdraw any of his savings, he will get 10,000.00 + 2% =
10,200.00 after one year.
Now, Mr. Entrepreneur needs PhP 7,000.00 because he wants to put up a sari-sari
store. He borrows PhP 7,000.00 form Maharlika Bank.
Can you see the flow of money? Juan gets more than PhP 10,000.00 after a year. At
the same time, he is able to help Mr. Entrepreneur put up a business. These would not
have happened without the help of Maharlika Bank since Juan and Mr. Entrepreneur
do not know each other.
Banks started during the Renaissance period in Italy. The word 'bank' traces its origin
from the Old Italian word banca which means 'table' or 'bench,' and is where transactions
occurred at that time.
The role of a financial institution as a link in the transfer of money from the source
to the borrower is very important to our economy.
Banks provide safe-keeping place for money and valuables of individuals. They also
perform a role in settling payments and credit intermediation.

 BANKING INSTITUTIONS
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is known as the banks of all banks in the
Philippines. It is the bank responsible for the regulation, creation, and management of
monetary supply in the country.
These are the different types of banks:

Commercial banks accept savings deposits, check deposits, and time deposits.
Examples of Philippine commercial banks are Bank of the Philippine
Islands and Metrobank.
Thrift banks are categorized into stock savings and loan associations, savings and
mortgage banks, and private development banks. They consolidate the savings
deposits of their members into a fund from which their members can draw loans with
interest. They also accept deposits from the public and provide loans for small- and
medium-scale enterprises.
Rural banks cater primarily to farmers and small business people, mostly in rural
areas.
CORPORATIONS
A corporation is an organization of people legally bound by a charter to conduct some
type of business. It has a legal entity separate from its owners. The type of business that a
corporation wants to venture in depends on its articles of incorporation.
Articles of incorporation are written applications to the government requesting
permission to form a corporation. This will give the name, address, and type of business for
the corporation; the names of the officers, and the initial amount of money being put into the
business.
The following are the advantages of corporations as business organizations in the
economy:

easy to raise funds since the corporate form is the most effective for raising money
limited liability the concept that owners of the business are only responsible for its
debts up to the amount they invest in the business
unlimited life not ceasing to exist if a major stockholder dies
specialized management affording to have specialized managers to run the business
shared risks spreading business risks among many owners

The following are the disadvantages of corporations as business organizations in the

economy:

difficult to start needs government approval before starting the business

less direct control owners that are usually far from the day-to-day operation of the
business
double taxation corporate taxes that need to be paid by the corporation and the owner
who received dividends from the profit
limited activities limited activities by the article of incorporation

COOPERATIVES AND TRADE UNIONS

A cooperative is a voluntary organization of people who have agreed to pool their
resources together to undertake an economic enterprise to meet their everyday needs. A
cooperative is something that they democratically manage, control, and share the economic
benefits by participation and patronage (Cooperative Development Authority, CDA).

5 NegOr_Q4_UCSP11_Module7_v2
 Trade unions or labor unions are voluntary associations of either employees,
employers, or independent workers to protect their interest and become an instrument of
defense against exploitation and maltreatment.
The commonalities of these two non-state institutions are the following:

organized and formed by a group of people to protect their interest,

promotes the common good among members, and
voluntary in nature.
Type of Cooperative Description
Credit cooperative Promotes thriftiness among its affiliates, and creates funds to
grant loans for productive endeavour of members
Consumer cooperative Procures and distributes commodities to members and non-
members
Producer cooperative Undertakes joint agricultural or industrial production
Marketing cooperative Participates in the supply of production inputs to constituents,
and markets their products
Service cooperative Engages in medical and dental care, hospitalization,
transportation, insurance, housing, labor, electric lights and
power, communication, and other services

As to Function:

Cooperatives Trade Unions

members

doing things in a cooperative manner

workers
Represent individual members when they
have a problem at work

Propagate cooperative practices and new Provide information and advice to its
ideas in business and management, and members about work-issues and concerns
allow lower income groups to expand their
ownership of wealth

Cooperatives and Trade Unions as Means of Promoting Self-help Towards

Economic Development
Cooperatives are self-help organizations presently utilized by the government as
more efficient tools for economic development. These are also business enterprises which
affiliates own, manage, and control following accepted democratic principles. Members are
not organized primarily for profit nor to serve other persons, but to address the needs of their
members. Memberships in cooperatives are voluntary and open to all those who need their
services. Members share economic benefits from unions in proportion to the individual
member's patronage of the business or enterprise.
Trade unions are always fighting for better wages by improving employees pay and
other benefits such as holiday entitlements.
Functions:

Secure improvements in employees' working conditions, including hours of work,

health or safety at work, improving pensions, and industry injury benefits.
Provide improved standards of living.
Safeguard the interest of workers by encouraging firms to increase employee
participation in decision-making.
Prevent employees from exploitation.

With trade union on a place, strikes can be avoided, thus resulting in stability and growth
of the firm. This promotes unity, spirit of self-reliance, and self-respect, and may lead to
economic development.
