**Commercial papers** are among the most important instruments used for economic and commercial transactions in the country. They are written documents prepared according to formal requirements set by law, transferable through commercial means, representing a monetary right, and payable either on sight, at a specified date, or at a determinable time. By customary practice, they are accepted as a tool for debt settlement, similar to cash. Their origin dates back over 100 years, when trade between individuals and institutions increased and liquid cash was not always available. With their usage, commercial papers came under legal regulation to ensure their security in all transactions. In Palestine, the main commercial papers are: **drafts, promissory notes, and checks**.
**Securities** can be defined as financial contracts that allow ownership in various institutions or can be sold in the capital market. They are primarily divided into **shares and bonds**. Another definition is that a security is a document that evidences a person’s legal ownership of a share in a joint-stock company.
