Essence of Liquidity Management


• Rarely are the Demands for Liquidity Equal
to the Supply of Liquidity at Any Particular
Moment. The Financial Firm Must
Continually Deal with Either a Liquidity
Deficit or Surplus
• There is a Trade-Off Between Liquidity and
Profitability. The More Resources Tied Up
in Readiness to Meet Demands for Liquidity,
the Lower is the Financial Firm’s Expected
Profitability.
