How it's used
Refers specifically to the management of money, assets, and debts, often in a formal or institutional context. While it appears in everyday news, it is rarely used in casual conversation between friends unless discussing business or government policy. It carries a more serious, professional weight compared to general terms for money like 錢.
Examples
Their company's finances are very stable.
Do you know when this year's budget will be announced?
