What is the role of the financial sector in a command economy?

In a command economy, the role of the financial sector is limited or non-existent. The government controls and directs all economic activities, including the allocation of resources, production decisions, and distribution of goods and services. Therefore, there is no need for a financial sector to facilitate borrowing, lending, investment, or other financial transactions as these decisions are made centrally by the government.
