Define money market.
1Answer
The money market is a segment of the financial market where short-term funds (typically with maturity of one year or less) are borrowed and lent. It facilitates the flow of liquidity between surplus and deficit units by trading highly liquid, low-risk financial instruments such as:
- Treasury bills (T-bills)
- Commercial paper (CP)
- Certificate of deposit (CD)
- Repurchase agreements (Repo)
- Banker’s acceptance (BA)
- Interbank loans
Key features:
- Short-term financing (≤ 1 year)
- Low-risk instruments (government-backed or high-credit-rated)
- High liquidity (easily convertible to cash)
- Interest rate-sensitive (rates like repo rate, call money rate)
It plays a crucial role in monetary policy transmission, liquidity management, and interest rate determination in an economy.
