Central Bank Liquidity refers to the readily available funds that a nation’s central bank can supply to commercial banks and financial markets. This liquidity is crucial for maintaining stability within the financial system, enabling smooth interbank lending and ensuring sufficient capital for economic activity. Central banks use various tools, such as open market operations, to adjust this supply. It acts as a foundational element for overall market function.
