Banking Liquidity

Definition

Banking liquidity refers to the ease with which banks can meet their short-term financial obligations. This represents a bank’s capacity to access cash or assets quickly convertible to cash without substantial loss of value. Adequate banking liquidity is crucial for operational stability, enabling institutions to process withdrawals, loan disbursements, and interbank transfers efficiently. It acts as a buffer against unexpected liabilities and market shocks, supporting the broader financial system.
